    Middle ear implant?

    What is Deaf Culture or it is just a myth?

    There definitely is a deaf culture, eventhough deaf people are not a completely seperate society having their own religion, food, or country or whatever...

    Dry and Store - Is It Worth It?

    My dog ate my heaging aids twice... :ugh: I reccomend the dry store if your climate gets really humid, otherwise I don't think it's necessary. It is good to have in emergency situations where the aid does get wet. For example when your friend push u in the swimming pool when you have your...
