Hi all, havent been online for a while so lots of CI moments to report, heres just a few. After a long dry summer we have finally had the big wet over the last couple of weeks, this came complete with thunder, lightening and hail all of which I had never really heard before, and certainly not...

I must be one of the lucky ones, no loss of taste and the only numbness was tip of ear, which I still have to feel for to put CI on. However my sister still hasnt got her taste back after 2 years, still complains about half her tongue being numb, tho thats probably an extreme case. She had...

Having been dependant upon speech reading all my life, with just a little background sound from H/a I could go on and ...um...on...um...on with this subject....hehehe However I will restrict myself to one example. Many many years ago my dear departed mother desired to have a little girl...

Getting lost in an unknown environment for a short time is nothing like knowing that it is permanent, at the end of the day the experimenting hearie knows they will hear again, for us there is no end, it is a life sentence.

The only way a hearing person could simulate being truly deaf is to live the life that we live for several years, no amount of ear plugging, white noise devices or whatever will give a hearie the slightest comprehension of deafness or the many hurdles that we face. It is a total physical...

Tut tut Jillio, such violence :giggle::giggle:

What actually takes place in a dream rarely makes sense when we wake. I didnt realise we had a resident dream analysts amongst us.

well Suzi you must be up close and personal with your car....:giggle: My Ci has never attached itself to anything but my head. Voices are still weird for me too, other things are fine, keys tapping, micro beeping etc etc, just voices can be a blur specially if more than one person speaking at...

Interesting , never thought of this before. I wonder if a dream analyst would interpert a Deaf persons use of sound and speech in dreams as being an unconscience desire to be hearing????

Dont hold your breath Chase, I do believe some on here thrive on the insults and insinuations. Anyway it livens my day up reading their comic posts....lol Added by Chase: You're so evil, Kat! Must be something bad wrong with me, 'cause I love it. Hee hee.

Have just looked at the Coclear site and very interested in trying the online rehab as I live alone so feel I am missing out on conversation. When I am out it is mostly with a crowd and no way can I pick up anythign but babble just yet with everyone yakking at same time. Has anyone used this...

How long have your friends been implantees Jazzy?

Thats great Stacie, good to hear things are going well for you. I guess after 2 years of CI any changes in personality, outgoingness, etc would have shown up by now so looks like you've got it sorted.

I wouldnt have given the subject any thought except a couple of people (mentioned in first post) brought it to my attention so I thought I would see if any others had experienced problems. All my relationships have been with hearing guys, some better than others of course. My marriage broke...

Yes that humongouos bright pink bag will do the trick every time....lol...glsad things are going well for you. Sounds like a great guy so hang onto him.

Yes this is whats getting to me too, everyone expects you to pus plugged in, switched on and suddenly have perfectly normal hearing. I feel like making a CD of the instructions to play for dumb idiots!!!!!......I am so sick of explaining over and over that "No I cant hear without lipreading yet...

Thanks Suzi, hope its going well for you too. We have had a loooong hot summer here with no rain for months, something that doesnt often happen here in NZ. The farmers are screaming out for rain, animals suffering etc etc, for the Aussies its probably the usual but not here. Anyway now it is...

Somehow I missed this post. Thanks for explanation. I had an idea it was something like that but had never heard the name for it. Yes I realise you were joking...lol

My son called in last night and I noticed his voice sounded much lower, in fact I thought my battery was flat!.....so maybe my brain is finally adapting to the parrot sound..........hooray. Jeez its a noisy world out there, car indicators, microwaves beeping, book pages rustling. Friday...

[/B] Good one Vallee, I think that will happen with most implantees. Glad to hear things are so good for you. A bit off topic, why would h/a cause pain? did they not fit properly or what.
