That's a good question, Mag. Before I had my surgery last year, her high
notes would flatten out in my head and hurt my ears. But now they sound
lower and better. I still have problems with "Ave Maria" though but that
song is almost all high notes anyway.
Now, song-wise I prefer her earlier stuff (1960s - 1970s) but that's
because I prefer the folk songs and Bob Dylan songs she was performing. I
have the "Any Day Now " album on my IPod and I still love "Love is Just a
Four Letter Word" and "Too Many Mornings." I also have the "David's Album"
but took off the spoken tracks because they irritate the heck out of me.

You mean receivers for the general population? Oy...
My CI speech processor acts as a digitally programmed receiver - here's
more info --

As you can see, they receive sounds and transmit to the brain, where the
sounds are received and interpreted.
