Oh not again, not in your life time

ash345, I hope you are getting used to your new hearing aids, it does take long time to get used to them specifically if you have not used them before or for a while, I was born normal hearing and started losing my hearing in both ears over 12-13 years back and within a year or so my hearing was...

I think you were fitted with these latest hearing aids that come with thin tubes, did you?, they used to be for moderate hearing loss or so, they would not prescribe them for severe to profound hearing loss but things changed in the last year or 2 and I myself bought one of these, latest Oticon...

Oh that's a horrible experience, what kind of an audi says "come on girl" comment, it's like you have anything to do with this, didn't he see your hearing test and could tell, how idiot is he. Are you a CI candidate? what are you using now?

Hell YES change your audi and do this immediately, you have no time to waste on other people feeling and the CI or hearing aid is all about you and only you, if you don't like your audi or dr change them, they need to learn the etiquette of communication if they can't let them get FIRED, why...

ladysolitary85, if you have moderate to severe hearing loss then Esteem is not for you, as your hearing loss may progress with age (sorry :(), I did contact the Esteem people and they have chased me to no end but when I mentioned it to my audi that day she told me I qualify for CI not Esteem, I...

Jealous!!!, what is your problem? my results out of Cochlear is far way better than anyone ever thought how the implants will work, why would I be jealous, LOL, the reason I had to answer that is because somewhere else they keep insisting that the stupid tmic is an invention that no one ever...

Your tmic is same like what we have with Cochlear, yours is a little down in the ear, that's the only difference, it's a microphone, we have 2 with Cochlear, it's a little up, no difference, it does not means your tmic is better, nothing special about it, per my drs and several audis that I...

GrendelQ, wow so this is kind of popular the guitar thing, too bad, I loooove those songs with heavy guitar use, so you think heavy specialized mapping can get us these sounds, well I will work on it then, I'm just awaiting to pass 6 months or so and then I can spoil myself. radka73, it used to...

Radka73, yes in the US we can get implanted at 70db loss if your speech perception score is less than 40 (not sure), mine was less than 30!! My normal hearing was very balanced as it was both sides, with implant I only use the implant, no hearing aid in my other ear per my audi recommendation to...

Drphil, your results are very good, it does not matter, using the phone or not as long as you are happy with what you've got, I have never used the TTY, it is amazing that we have all of these technologies that keep us going

overthepond, so you use the direct connect to hear and you put the phone close to your mouth so the other side can hear you, so the microphone can work, very interesting, I may try it. Drphil, really? 50% only are able to use the phone, hmmm, would the fact that if the person was using the...

radka73, I was born normal hearing, started losing my hearing for unknown causes nearly 12 years back, I'm 36 now, my hearing got worse to like 60 db in both ears and by Dec.2010 at the time of my CI evaluation was around 70 db loss both ears, I have used hearing aids for over 10 years and have...

I have Iphone, I do use the direct connect to listen to Ipod within Iphone, but did anyone try to use it with Iphone calls? how does this works? I use the phone directly on my implant, but was wondering on the direct connect. Thanks

Implanted 4 months back, activated 3.5 months back (as of July.24th.11), I got 10-12 db across all frequencies just a week after activation, my results are somehow unusual and my dr was kind of shocked, have Cochlear America
