Race car with tricked out engine and glass pipes?? Tweety Bird! šššš That's the hilarious part. The part that isn't so hilarious? Tweety Bird needs to be shot if he talks a bit overmuch. šš³š³š¤Ŗ Audiologist assures me that this will pass as my brain gets accustomed to the new input. As is, it's causing me quite the headache...
About a three month process to get the full range of sounds and about a year to really know what it will all really sound like. Meantime? I can play with the toy on my phone! All sorts of itty bitty geeky things I can do in there. But that'll have to wait. Work beckons and I've a monster headache to manage (which is not uncommon for initial hookup), and sounds to identify (there's something clicking rhythmically somewhere in this freakin' house and I don't yet know what it is or what direction it's coming from...I just know it isn't the dog!).
