Hi, I do plan to do that next week. I have read where they are
designing implants to have more musical abilities. Heard a demo, it appears to
be getting better but not there yet. take care

Hi John.
You should check with your audiologist befor you do it.
The last thing I heard, was that the implants would not be good for mjusic,
because They don’t give you the same ability to tell one pitch from another
with a third or fourth interval.
It probably o k for speech, but not for music.
My tenites get’s bad when I’m tired, so high end stereo would be a waist for me.
All I can say is be careful about this very expensive decision.

Intro and a question! My first real audio experience was a Fisher
Receiver and speakers, Sony reel-to-reel recorder. Those were the days>
I am 61 and recently lost the hearing in my right ear. That has definitely
changed the experience of audio!! I am possibly going to get a cochlear
implant, I would like to know if anyone else on this list has had this
procedure and what does music sound with one? I have recently read where they
are making them to work better with music and to have a lower end. Thanks for
any feedback.
