My Dr Doesnt believe in frequent adjustments . He thinks you will get better results if you let your brain do the work

Good tips. Lately, I asked audiologist for a mute program added to my processor for use when city or restaurant sounds wear me down. That was really helpful! I also suggested an intermission at audiologist's clinic to walk around lobby or waiting room to try out environmental sounds and people talking in my new mapping like trying a shoe out for size. That was helpful. I also had created a third program for enhanced music listening as I originally found that some sounds were missed. Would it be nice if audiologist had an electronic keyboard in room so that I can try out all the notes for discrinination apart? Though I am not Beethoven, I really love music.

Also, what are your favorite links for auditory training? It would be great if they were all organized in one list or site for ease of picking up anytime.
