And once again I've been taught a lesson. After nearly 3 decades in audiology an the hearing instrument industry, I thought there is not a lot that can surprise me anymore. WRONG! If somebody asks me those days, "now tell me, how does your CI sound?", I start to look for comparisons from my "normal hearing" days.

Now the big question was what was the reason for it. Had it something to do with the diving or was it the sudden stress relieve due to those lovely holidays?
