Life is full of discoveries, mostly inconsequential tidbits rather than monumental, life-changing revelations. Yesterday I learned that donkeys (aka: burros) love human contact and possess the temperament of a devoted canine. I've lived for nearly 6 decades, and I never knew that. Important stuff, huh?
Well, today I discovered that when I whistle, the sound registers as 2 distinctly different pitches to my bionic ears. My left ear hears it as a lower tone than my right ear, I suppose because of the difference in the implant technology of my older C1 on one side and the new Harmony implant on the other. It seems really weird since I'm blowing one tone and hearing two!

haha wow... I bet that sounds like a whistle concert! :P
And that's kinda neat about donkeys! I never knew that either.
That is really interesting about your whistle! It makes sense though as the implants are different generations. I'm also surprised you can pick out what one ear is hearing without somehow hearing that whistle with "both". I hadn't thought about it before, but do they map both implants separately, and then map them together at the end? Hmm...
Blessings to you and yours!
