Mechanical Piano that “Speaks”
I haven’t gotten to watch this video with sound yet, but I can imagine what it sounds like. There are captions of a sort that explain what’s going on. It’s very similar to how our brain learns to hear cochlear implant stimulus as speech… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muCPjK4nGY4
NPR interview about CIs
Sometimes I forget that the things I post to the CI mailing lists I’m on might be good to put here too: The transcript of this NPR show looks interesting. I haven’t gotten to listen to this yet (forgot to bring headphones to work, forgot to bring spare battery for CI #1 too! 3 weeks away [...]

5 Months with a Cochlear Implant, Music and Lectures
First things first. Music with my cochlear implant is way way beyond my expectations. But I had pretty low expectations. Seriously, music sounds great now (5 months from activation). The CI adds a whole new layer of sounds that I couldn’t hear before. It helps bring out the lyrics. It adds the higher frequency percussion, cymbals, [...]
Four months, research, music
Let’s see how I do with my last post’s list. I’m going to take CI/hearing topics today. 1. 4 months with CI That’s right. I was activated way back on May 4th. I’ve been in for just 3 mappings since then at 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months (though all were a bit late). My audiogram has [...]
Blog topics brain dump!
I want to write! But there are so many things that I want to write about that I draw a blank when I open this window to start. Maybe a list will help… 4 months with CI CI #2? 2 CIs versus 1 CI and 1 HA versus bilateral EAS Music lately (wish I’d remembered to bring headphones [...]
Piccolos? Yes, I hear them.
I used to joke that I did great in band, my hearing loss didn’t prevent me from playing, I could hear everyone… except the piccoolos. And people would laugh and say that I wasn’t missing anything, or even that I was lucky to not hear them. When did I first realize I was hearing them with [...]
The band I play in
I play saxophone in the Charlottesville Municipal Band, specifically tenor saxophone. I found the band after moving to Charlottesville in 2006. I waited until January of 2007 to join though as I didn’t get settled in at my job until late October and it’s always easier to join a group right after a concert. So [...]
How to get song lyrics into your iPod
I’ve had a couple of people ask me how I’m having lyrics displayed on my iPhone/iPod. This is something that’s eluded me for a while now, so I thought I’d write it up. First off, you probably need to use iTunes for your music. Since iTunes is the easiest way to get music onto an iPod [...]
Music lately
I can’t get myself to start typing this because I’m listening to music on my iPhone (built in iPod) and I’ve managed to load lyrics to almost all of my 1500 some songs. If I type then I can’t read along and the lyrics get lost. Music is sounding pretty good, even with just my CI. [...]
