Hmm.... I do go for the PAC too (two PAC's plugged into a Y-split into my iPod). Occasionally I'll use those vibrating headphones from the 1970s that gives me concert sound with the vibrations... I find that if I don't use those two options, my lyrical recongition goes down. I tried using an...

I've had an re-implant from a N22 to a N24C and it went through beautifully. (The original implant failed so I had it taken out and replaced/upgraded and the doctor was able to fix the original scar so it didn't show as much). There is always a risk with ANY surgery - there was a risk with...

I mentioned in my blog, aslperformingarts.blogspot.com that the official YouTube channel for the Broadway show RENT is now captioned (the same videos are fed to their touring production blog at www.rentthebroadwaytour.blogspot.com and their official website at Rent The Broadway Tour - Tickets...

Thanks for the input. A couple of notes: Will try increasing the speed on one of the program slots to see if that helps. We did try converting the 3G map to the Freedom but it just did NOT sound the same (it sounded like everything was at least 2 octaves too high). I do bring my iPod...

Recently saw my audie and got a new map on both CIs (both Freedoms) and it solved the buzzing/humming problem (changed the rate to 750 from 900 on the left to match that of the right ear at 750, after telling her that the left ear heard speech better with the 3G at 750...). Now, it seems...

Yes I can hear the scratching sounds on a chalkboard (very well - sometimes I have to remove the magnet - ie covering my ears - it's THAT screechy-annoying sound!)

To those who are interested (and missed my other thread before it got hidden in 'Technology' where so few folks roam)... I opened up a new message forum for the ASL-performing arts community (it does have an ADA-arts section so it's still revelant to this thread). Please take a few moments...

So far, I've posted schedules for these following areas: New York City Chicago Washington DC Twin Cities, MN (but if you have information regarding other cities, let me know and I'll post their websites up - or more for a specific city -go ahead and add it to that list!)

Hello, I established a new message forum for the performing arts (with the Deaf and interpreters in mind). Come and check it out! Show Of Hands (note the nice category specializing in theatrical interpreting... *winks*) I created this for many reasons - one, a central resource for...

CI moment - I learned how to hear "Defying Gravity" from the musical Wicked and used Youtube.com to compare the different actresses portraying the role of Elphaba - some I prefer over others for sound quality and CI 'compatibility'. However, the other day, my friend decided to 'test' my...

I'm a bilateral CI (Nucleus Freedom both sides) and had my mapping done a month ago. Yet I'm experiencing some odd buzzing/humming that just refuses to go away. I keep thinking it's the refrigerator running in the kitchen or the computer monitor or feedback from TV... yet my hearing companions...

Update: Got script - so that's covered. Working on translations now and going to rehearsals to get 'used' to hearing the cast. Now, not to provoke another fight.... but what's the general opinion regarding CDIs or soon-to-be CDIs for theatre? I'm Deaf, but I do sport bilateral cochlear...

Here is the update regarding the situations. Did some negotitations with the director and offered some ideas/perspectives. I did note their need to join the ASL performance list of offering an interpreted performance so I offered to drop out of the cast but stay on as an interpreter. (In...
