Now Rush of course was a DJ in the 70s, so he knows that era's music intimately.
He said that he cannot really enjoy any "new" music, because it is really difficult to understand/grasp it.
Perhaps this has changed and he has one of the newer model cochlear implants, like yourself.
He can certainly afford the best.
I know that he only got one side implanted. I think it's because he was hoping technology would come up with something better, before he took the plunge with his opposite ear.
I believe his other ear was tested and did not respond for a bi transplant..
I felt my first one was so wonderful, that when the doctor asked me if I was ready to go for the second, I said YES instantly.
by the way when I first got turned on the audiologist called the doctor to come and join us as I was ready to HEAR...
I go yearly for a check up and go thru a total mapping and hearing test and have four processors (a back up for each year) and they are inspected and checked out...I have recharge batteries but also use throw away batteries when I travel, actually the throw away last me longer than the recharge...but they are EXPENSIVE, very expensive..so I treat them like fine jewels.
I’m so grateful to have been a chosen one, so to speak..there are only 250,000 cochlear implants in the world..that number may have grown a bit, I’m not certain...a great website is cochlear.com it is so informative for hearing impaired folks...
