Good luck to you, Sounds like you have all your 'ducks in a row'! That test thing is very real. I always refer to hearing tests as 'the test I know I'm going to fail no matter how hard I study for it'. That really bothers 'the teacher in me'. I have taken it so many times I pretty much can fill in the blanks too. Even the 'nonsense sentences'. I know several CI recipients who did not qualify for the surgery when first tested due to the 'fill the blanks' thing. The SPIN test (Speech in Noise) is the one that usually reins us in. As the noise gets louder and louder it becomes impossible.

Again, good luck to you. Keep us posted. PS: Ask for an anti nausea patch prior to the surgery. They usually don't just give it to you. Best advice I had pre CI surgery.
