    Dental work and hearing

    I have severe bilateral loss in both ears and use HA's. Yesterday I go to the dentist for a root canal on the tooth next to the front one on the top right side. It went fine but my right ear feels full, like the volume on my HA isn't enough, but is at same usual setting. Does anyone know if...

    Creative ways to answer this....

    I'm guessing I am not the only hoh/deaf person who wears HA's or CI when upon asking someone to repeat themselves, let me see thier mouth so I can better 'hear' them or any other way say "hey I have trouble in the hearing department," and the person comes back with a variation of: "Oh, I know...

    Sore eardrums

    Five days ago I got new earmolds and they are quite deep and very snug-the audi explained that this is best for me. I have noticed midway through day my eardrums are sore. They feel better over night. Is this normal reaction to deep(er) molds with a really snug fit? Is this something I will...

    White noise?

    I get a bit of white noise in my HA's-is this normal? I have only had them for 4 days so I'm thinking this is part of the noise my brain needs to learn to ignore?

    Question about HA's

    This past Thursday I was fitted for my first pair of HA's and find them extremely helpful. One question I have though is I seem to be all over the volume control-up one minute then down the next- Does this tend to even out as I adapt to them? Since I lost my hearing at 15 months old and am now...
