Go, Barb, go.  
I can not wait until the day when you will be joining chats and having phone classes, with no trouble at all!!!
Looks like you are on the road to this goal, already with 63%!

New CI update: We are into week 2, we have morning doves in our house! lol peoples yawns sounds like the cooing of a morning dove. Everyone still sounds a bit like a robot, but not as bad. I'm understanding more without having to say huh, huh, what did you say? Have been carrying on conversations, even in noisy areas.
Saw the audiologist Monday for some more adjustments, we tried out the bluetooth enabled phone clip that pairs with my ci and today I made several phone calls to family members. For the most part, did good, still have trouble with soft voices but have been assured that will get better over time.
In just one week I have gone from a 33% understanding sentences to 69%!!! That is totally awesome! I cannot even begin to imagine what it's going to be like when I have a ci on both sides!
I am just totally blown away by the difference between the hearing aids and the ci.

Barb
