Music

Well, it’s been almost a month since my CI was activated ... I’m still really overwhelmed and humbled by everything I’m hearing! ... A few days ago, I turned on the TV and was flipping through the channels – when I heard what sounded like an African or Native American tribe singing! It turned out to be a quartet of African-American women! Their songs were captioned (and even ASL-interpreted!), so I watched it for a while enjoying the various low tones, which fluctuated more smoothly than before and with minimal bubbles! ... A couple of days later, I turned on another music show – this time with various artists: Mariah Carey, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, etc. – and THEY all sounded like the African or Native American tribe singing, too! Same way at church yesterday – all vocal music sounds like that to me, now – with occasional bubbles and a soft Donald Duck on top! The tones are fluctuating and blending together a little more smoothly – and I even recognized two of the songs during Mass without looking (I’d attached the accessory mic to my right shoulder again)! And the chimes sounded very much like chimes! :O)

Peoples’ speaking voices are sounding a tiny bit more natural ... still very low-toned, but their colds aren’t as bad and D. Duck isn’t as loud! ... Jenda’s purr sounds more like a little rumble-motor – MUCH more natural – but she’s still a little train-whistle! :O)

On Wed., I’ll have my CI Rehab. eval. at Hopkins. I’ll write by Thurs. Night about that. :O)
