Similar to post surgery, the 48 hours post "switch on" were pretty glum.
Now back on track and recognise that every week is still better than the last. That can't be so bad.
The ear I have "working" will never perform well but its already given me some connectivity. I can hear some sounds especially tapping or knocking e.g. knocking on the door of the house, the level of my voice, footsteps - all breakthroughs.
Also balance is getting better. Had another successful, solo trip round town.
Have got a technician from the implant manufacturer Med El taking a look at my case on Tuesday evening. Maybe he can find a program setting to get the "good" ear working.
Over the next two weeks I have 9 hours speech therapy, 6 hours software mapping and 4 hours balance therapy. Plus homework. Its starting again from scratch and each step fwds is a big motivation.
Gloom over. Life will still be a lot of fun.
