I can’t even try this out because we haven’t been able to get the speakers to work on this computer since we got it in December… and not for lack of trying… but… I totally think it is awesome you can hear this now!!! I really think it’s cool that you are even in a band. I was always about 4 beats behind everyone else on the flag corp back in the day.

My hearing loss is unusual in that I hear better in the piccolo and tuba ranges; voice range is difficult for me. My hearing aides help a lot. I have a music degree, ironically. I tell people it's not about the volume of the sound; it's about the quality. Some day my sense of pitch will be gone; my loss is progressive. By then, I hope I'll have Stars and Stripes memorized so I can hear it in my head! Daisy’s last blog post: Honey Grilled Chicken with Garlic

My implants are off right now, but I will try listening to the videos during the day
I see you lost your hearing suddenly, so I assume that you had normal hearing before. Do music and instruments with a CI sound the same as you remember them? I ask because I play the violin, and had only been playing a 9 or so months before my hearing got worse and I recieved my first CI. I’ve been playing for over three years now, and I do so/so. There are plenty of kids better than me, but there’s also a lot who are much worse! I’ve heard that having CIs really limits enjoyment/perception of music, and was just curious if that is your experience?

Hy Sarah! I can hear it very well with my CI ... this is the first time I've listened to "stars and stripes" since I last played this in band (30 years ago in jr high school !) .. I don't think that even back then I could hear the piccolos... nice to hear them at last. Great post. Cheers, ...dan... Dan Connell’s last blog post: (NL-0041) Sounds only Dogs can Hear
