    Yay $100 HAs!

    Yeah they are Oticon Vigo Pro Power not cracker jack aids :D. Got them today! I got the streamer as well...was excited to use it, then when I got home and charged it up I realized that the streamer and my HAs aren't linked :( I ended up paying 350 because I wanted new molds as well (out of...

    Plants VS Zombies

    I have this game on my puter and ipod touch. Very very addicting. There's also a DS version coming soon :D Some codes -type "mustache" -type "future" -type "tricked out" There's more but you have to have your tree of wisdom a certain height.

    One method to watch subtitled videos on Iphone or Ipad

    If you want to watch subtitled vids on the go: dl a program called "iPodme". Drag and drop movie and srt/sub file and it will convert the movie to iPod format. Then drag that to your iPod in iTunes..... Make sure captions are enabled in settings!

    Yay $100 HAs!

    I went to my audiologist in July to get retested and hopefully get cheap bluetooth compatible HAs. She help me submit an application to Burns Fund and they approved me for the Oticon Vigo Connects with streamer. All I have to pay is a hundred dollars....much better than 3380! :shock: I'm...

    Funniest thing an uneducated person has said to you?

    @Bottesini, I'm the one hearingsister is talking about and it was funny to me because I deal with this ignorance all the time whereas it made her angry to see how foolish people can be. Any of the situations we are talking about would make someone angry......

    Funniest thing an uneducated person has said to you?

    "mumbles something" Me: "Pardon?" *Annoyed*: "mumbles again" Me: "Sorry, one more time?" Angrily "What are you deaf or something?!?" Me: "Actually, yes I am" (Shows HAs) *Shamefaced* ".......Oh, sorry" This has happened on numerous occasions, and it cracks me up everytime because the...

    Cheap hearing aids! $12!

    @Hear Again. I knew someone would ask about the severity of my loss so I stuck it in there at the end :D @Tousi. Pretty much but they are a little better, I bought the "Listen in" that they advertise on TV because I saw it for $3 once and those were craptastic compared to these.

    Cheap hearing aids! $12!

    LOL, the battery door fell of my $1300.00 Oticon GO Power!! (and the other one is about to come off) The battery door on the cheapo seems a lot studier because it's not made to let people with reduced mobilty rake it open on a table. Th entire build seems pretty damn good, as I said, they...

    Cheap hearing aids! $12!

    @Tousi You're absolutely right, I would NOT recommend them for everyday use, they aren't that good. But I did buy them as a back up pair to have if I need repairs or if I'm ever at the point where I can just not afford hearing aids right away. I could not handle hearing nothing, I have to...

    Cheap hearing aids! $12!

    It is true that it takes a long time to get anything but can't complain with free shipping :) Too bad they couldn't work for you, but I guess they are "one size fit all" style as opposed to custom fit......

    Data plan only, no voice plan

    I find it funny that cell phone companies claim that they can't turn off the voice plans as ANY phone has to have the ability to make emergency calls. This includes locked and stolen phones! Also if you make an emergency call, it has to be carried by any cellphone tower (not just the one...

    Which is the best cell phone for deaf for you?

    First phone I had was Nokia 3595 then I got Nokia 6822 and fell in love with qwerty! From there I went to a Hiptop2 (Canadian branded sidekick 2) then I was annoyed with my carrier so I started buying unlocked phones starting with the i-mate Jaq3 <----this phone became veeeeery buggy for me...

    Cheap hearing aids! $12!

    @AliciaM: S+H and handling was free (they do worldwide free shipping) They take paypal, they did sit in customs for a few days (the packing slip said health/beauty, they probably thought they were meds) Ya I figured people who can't afford HAs at all would benefit from this for sure! Luckily I...

    Cheap hearing aids! $12!

    I found some insanely cheap hearing aids on a Hong Kong gadget website that I frequent. For $14 I figured that it would be a decent price to pay for a backup pair in case I need to send mine in for repairs. I figured no matter how crappy they are it's better to hear something than nothing...

    Dental work and hearing

    My dentist has fancy computer screens in their rooms to look at your history and xrays. When they pull up mine PATIENT IS DEAF!!! comes up in huge letters and if its a new hygienist, I calmly say, "actually I'm just hard of hearing, face me when you talk to me and not yell" because they will...

    Dogs!!!

    My dog ate my aids allll the time when I was a kid. The funniest was when I lost one in a mosh pit and my friend found it during the show (he thought he saw a crowd surfer drop something out of their pocket so he picked it up) and it still worked! The mold and tubing was nowhere to be found but...
