Yes, "buzzy" or "tinny" is a good way to describe the sound I have in my implant ear. But I don't usually notice it with my other ear which has almost normal hearing up to 1500 Hz. Definitely agree that the brain is quite malleable. I think it was an unexpected result at just how malleable the brain is in adult implant recipients. FWIW I participated in a post-op research study and IIRC was told that more electrodes wouldn't necessarily improve the quality of the sound. I think what's much more important is the algorithms in the over-the-ear processor.
