I know this may sound silly but I am trying to drum up support for a petition I am passionate about. I am software engineer, deaf, and bilaterally implanted. I am also a geek; I tinker with every new gadget that comes out. But when one is released that isn't accessible, especially from a big...

Just found out today that our 6 yo inherited my hearing loss gene and will need HAs for sure, she's excited to be just like daddy :cool2:. Has anyone had experience with the Oticon Safaris? I've used Widex in the past, but wear Epoqs myself and have a pretty good experience. Just wondering if...
