Hello a friend's got these Phonak Naida V HA's ( binaural ) and when she tries to listen to music via NoizFree ear hooks she hears a continual growling noise. Another friend suggested to her she gets the icom.I think it is a mapping issue.Can you please enlighten us ?

:wave: I got my long coil from friends..I see no difference in map... although my audie is saying that map needs changing if i'm going to use long coil ( only when I need to though ) is that true or is another myth so everyone wears ci the recommended way ? probably Lotte's dad...

This past fri I went for a mapping appt..he lowered it down and stuff.. well the new map although in the office seemed okay...since then I've been having headaches and I can't hear very well.. :shock: Im going to send in CI to get my old map back. I also lost clarity in...

The last two days , when someone talked , the voices sounded a bit robotic and staticky..like hearing over a really bad radio.. I mentioned it to my AVT therapist , suggested to try out the microphone that comes with a long cord. WOW what a difference , it does not bother me at all , and...

The brain is a really strange , curious thing.:roll: Now that my hearing has leveled to the point that I hear well...I feel one - sided , even if *I* was unilateral HA user since 11 , and I implanted my *good* ear.other ear is stone deaf . So I've concluded that my brain 'remembers'...

:wave: I have been considering to look into that system.. I've been wondering if there is anyone else trying it and has something to say? does it really is worth all these money ? ( it's rather expensive here ) :shock: I've read online that can connect via bluetooth to the mobile...

I just was offered an opportunity to go bilateral!! :shock::shock::shock: it's part of some study of other company ( MEDEL ) even if I have Freedom in my implanted ear. Even in Greece these things happened..I've said I'd take that opportunity after I've studied it a bit. So do you...

I have the Global model from Cochlear , it was in my box , along with four dessicants. Tonight I realized that I'm in my last one..:shock: time sure gets by quickly!! Sooo..I looked online , and I found the rechargeable dessicants , and the plain ones..Is anyone with rechargeable...

Just now , my nails pulled a bit lower the CI..and it turned off..and it seems like if you even put your nail at the crack between battery compartment and CI it will close off..has anyone else experienced it? not that I mind it , but it's a bit bizarre .... it turns off so easily ? all I did...

I've been browsing around the forum and saw the topic for Dogs for Deaf and I wondered ..? :hmm: Anybody that has a hearing dog especially trained for deaf would please care to enlighten me ?

:roll: I seem that I always am making new threads.. Since starting college , I was staying somewhere that has a lot of humidity and it destroyed my sinus area ( I was almost always with my nose stuffed up though ,since I remember myself, but no ENT doctor ever helped me ) and I had...

My implant site is tickling me a lot lately..mostly I ignore it , but if it was on the scar site Id reason it..sadly , the raised place over the implant wants to be scratched all the time.. Does yours bother you ?:roll:

Hello..As some of you know , I got my L CI here in Greece a few months ago .. Since living with a CI , even with all the problems , I wouldnt exchange it for anything! :lol: But..I always wanted to go abroad , for work , and living..here in Greece things are pretty expensive and...

Hello all! At my operation , I chose the Freedom BTE ( chocolate color ) , but I havent thought how heavy it would be!!:shock: After three months post activation , and I feel sometimes very sore from wearing it , not from slipping ( I solved it with the long earhook ) but from the weight...

My speech therapist uses a program called Rosetta Stone - it's an software for learning interactively foreign speeches and languages , but she uses it as a tool for avt therapy.very useful for me to wean off speech reading ( I'm so used to it that I do it automatically..) you should use it for...

Been wondering how often do we have to change the covers.. I'd like to try other colors too ( have the matt package damn it , and I'd like the pastel one...LOL ) How do you know how often to change them ?

Do you put the CI in the dehumidifier with the batteries ? Or do you remove the battery holder? Till now I removed the battery holder , disassempled the CI into parts , and put all the parts except the battery holder with the batteries still in , at the Dry&Store.. The last few days I just...

Few minutes ago I got really dizzy , I felt like I was going to faint..happened that a couple of other times , but I thought it is due to the heat ..but it isn't..as soon as I popped coil off felt perfectly fine , except for that loud tinnitus... What's going on?

Sorry for the confusing title..I showered ( without the BTE of course.. ) and after applying at my wet hair a towel , I put the BTE on ....and sound comes on and off..and magnet is put at the positions..does the wet hair/towel do any harm at the magnet or coil?
