 Hello and welcome to Rehab at Home with Medell. In this series you'll meet four people who made decisions to get cochlear implants as adults. To begin we will see John and his wife Donna do the Ling sound check. You can do this quick test at home to check your hearing technology is working well and you're able to hear the full range of speech sounds. Honey, I've got an audiologist appointment. Can you run through the Ling sounds with me? Sure. Thanks. Ready? Thanks, you got it. Thank you. The Ling sounds cover a range of speech sounds from low to high pitch. Your hearing professional may use the Ling sound check to ensure your program is giving you access to all the sounds of speech. When your cochlear implant is first switched on you may hear each of the Ling sounds but not be sure enough to repeat them. We call this a detection response and this is a great place to start. Over time with more listening practice and programming improvements the goal is to identify by repeating all six of the Ling sounds. If you have difficulties keep notes and discuss this with your hearing professional.
