ooohh that brings back memories!!! I remember mother being quite handy with sewing machine and made custom pocket harnesses for my body aids to fit in. I had two at the time from 6mths old right up to when I finally got my first BTE's in the late 70's. I used to hate the way body aids would...

I'm glad it's worked out for you in the end. If that has happened to me I would quote human rights act as this overrides the NHS Data protection policy. The human right act views that any information pertaining to you or your body is your property and that the place who is holding your...

Mine's an anagram of my favourite cats that I had - livi, muffy and Sammy

It's excellent that the US have the telephone confidence scheme, I can't see one for the UK or in other countries. It would be really good for us to use something similar to that.

20 min bus ride away to mine from work in London.

Gawd oh yeah, that brings back memories of one particular teacher who kept doing that, Miss Symes. She always stepped a bit too close in my personal bubble that I had to step back and she would match stepwise until I told her that she was a bit too close for comfort. I swear that at times I...

How about a play on tv/movie themes i.e. 'my ears are bionic, I'll be hearing you!' - sort of a terminator film take.... Love the design, are you able to make it 3D?

Well in that case I'm an oral deafie as I'm a prelingual with a profound deafness. But my speech therapy stopped when I was 12, as opposed to till school leaving age. Am understood by anyone including strangers, apart from those times when my nerves gets the better of me then my speech is...

Not sure which country you're in but I order mine from a company in the UK - www.connevans.co.uk They have a quite few products of dri-aid boxes from the basic to the powered ones. It's listed under deaf equipment, hearing first aid, drying aid kits.

Are they the hard moulds then yes it could be a poor fit. If it's soft moulds again poor fit may be the issue but also consider an allergic reaction to the earmoulds? I know this cos I discovered purely by accident that when I went for new earmoulds and they said they're using a new...

Hi Barry :wave: welcome to AD, I'm also from London (well I work there...) Shame about the weather at the moment...

Hi welcome to AD! :wave: as you can see there's a lot of UK AD'ers roaming in here every now and again. Am from the UK, but live outside of London and work in London.

I have congenital deafness and that my parents were very aware of the issues around how we deaf people hear. I remembered quite well that I was watching my parents lips quite intently and nothing was coming out but was able to match lip movements to an object that I would mimick it but without...

I wasn't using it an excuse but quoted it cos I couldn't do it at the time. Since then I've had a summons and was not selected. I believe in justice if it's done correctly and not abused unlike some of the cases I've read and leninent judges. I believe the judges would've liked to have imposed a...

I thought that too as my parents told me so but I got a summons in the post which was a total surprise (a good few years ago). At the time I did not want to do it so I went to my local council and asked for jury exemptions summons form. Which they send to the courts. I was then exempted from it...

I use headphones, I put it on top of my CI but not the hearing aids as I get awful feedback on the HA's. I wear it for a couple of hours. But I don't bother using the direct input leads as my headphones plugs directly into the HI FI, which is hooked up to my TV. I somehow get better sound...

Exactly - the more exposure to different users the better... :wave::lol:
