Normally I'd put my phone number (land line) on my resume when applying for a job but I recently discovered this was a bad idea ... haven't used the phone in a while and, surprise surprise, it sounds completely robotic now, and two places where I'd applied for jobs via e-mail (craigslist) hung...

my CI operation was in late May and I had it activated mid-July. a lot of times I seem to "hear" these popping noises in my implanted ear, when i'm not wearing the CI. it sounds like a whole bunch of bubbles popping rapidly, and then a few stray pops after that... it's really weird! is it...

post-CI surgery, about how long did it take for your taste to come back completely? I'm just slightly annoyed because, although the half of my tongue definitely isn't as "numb" or taste-less as it was for the first week after the operation, a lot of foods taste significantly less strong than...

My CI surgery date is May 26th (yay!) and I plan to take my yearly visit to California from early July until July 25th or so. My family and I will be going to Disneyland as usual, and we have annual passes so it doesn't cost us anything to visit Disneyland (they expire on July 28th). My friend...

i just gave my friend (who has a CI) the news that i'm getting a CI this summer. she got all excited and started telling me loads of things that i should expect after the surgery. a lot of it was stuff I alreay knew, but then there were some other little things, like removing the CI when you go...

i sometimes have friends telling me different versions of situations we experienced that i missed out on because i didn't hear something going on. for instance (although this has never happened in particular), i'm busy doing something attentively, and someone calls me from behind and starts...

When I first decided I'd get a CI just over a month ago, I was told there was an 8 month waiting list. A couple weeks after that when I went to the ENT, he told me the list was a year long. I just went for my hearing test and they say the wait list is now 18 months. I live in B.C., Canada - they...

i use TypeWell for my university courses. in my experience, the TypeWell transcribers aren't as fast as the CART transcribers i've had. i know it's probably just a matter of who the transcriber is and how experienced they are, but i noticed that CART uses a different (albeit older-looking)...

the description on phonak.com of the Supero 412 BTE is that it is the "most powerful Phonak digital BTE instrument". Phonak hearing systems - Digital Supero 412 this is for Phonak... does it mean it's the most powerful BTE that phonak has? are there any other companies that might hold even...

I'll start by saying i've lost my hearing gradually over the years. Here's a sort of history of my hearing loss and how it was initiated if you need to refer to it but if not just skip to the next paragraph - diagnosed with brain tumour at 4, surgically removed at 5, underwent radiation...

Question for deaf/HOH people... I might be a bit younger than some of the people here (I'm 18..?) but I've never been on a date in my life, nor has anyone showed any kind of interest in/attraction towards me. Just wondering when most of you started dating or were in a relationship of any form. I...

I am SO sick and tired of hearing people becoming annoyed whenever I need to activate the CCs on something we're all watching. It happened most recently when I was in a lecture at my school, the second half of which was used to watch a video screening like we'd done for the past 5 weeks. Only...

I'm so confused! Is there a difference between being "profoundly deaf" and "profoundly hard of hearing"? This is probably the dumbest question that's ever been asked, but I'm giving it a shot. If my hearing loss is past 90 dB in the range considered "profound," does that mean I'm deaf, or am I...
