YES! I can hear you now!
Not ashamed to say I cried like the proverbial baby when they first turned it on....
It sounded like a 30's radio set between stations and was all static but I heard a voice in there in the background.
It has been about 2 hours and the strange noises are getting weaker and voices still sound 'tinny' but they tell me this will gradually go away as the ol' brain learns what to do with all these new 'impulses'.
Had to wind and set my antique mantel clock and the first time it chimed I almost jumped out of the chair!
As we were pulling out of the garage I thought I heard my heart beating rather fast...WRONG...it was the directional signal.
For my 'geeky' friends there are 20 individual electrodes implanted in my auditory nerve endings so it will take 6 weeks of 1 1/2 hour sessions to get everything 'programmed' just right.
But for now I ma just happy to sit here and listen to my keyboard go 'clickety, clickety'!
Thanks once again for all your prayers and good wishes.....
