For those who are late deafened and have a CI, I am curious about your experience with tinnitus. Did you have tinnitus before implant? If so, is it better, worse, or about the same after implant? If better, is it always better or only when you are using your CI? I have been deemed a...

I have had my Naidas for just over a year. Twice the left one has gone "dead" when it is touched or tapped, requiring me to open and close the battery cover to get it to turn on. Phonak tried once to fix it, then replaced it last Spring. Well, now my right one is doing the same thing. Saw my...

So what's on the menu for dinner tonight? Have a great recipe you want to share? Tonight's boring, chili and salad for me.

I've been using Naidas since last summer, and started having problems with each one in the past two months. Both have "cut out" at random, shutting themselves off. They turn on again when you open and close the battery door, but then if you touch them, or sometimes out of the blue, they stop...

I am newly deafened, having gone from mild to severe hearing loss literally overnight. Over the ensuing months, my hearing has deteriorated and I am now profoundly deaf. I have made some funny and some scary goofs since becoming deaf. Some examples are *leaving the water running in the...

I see lots of kids with colored earmolds, and I wonder how many adults have colored earmolds? What color(s)? I just switched to soft earmolds (blue/white stripe), and I'm curious how often you have to replace them? My hard acrylic ones were almost 10 years old! Thanks!
