Hi - I'm pretty new here but would like to make a couple of comments. I am SSD and never felt fully like a part of the hearing community. However I do hear. I also know some of the frustrations of deafness (although minor in comparison). I am amazed by these postings as I never knew there...

Thank you! That's very nice of you :hug:

Wow - that's a huge discount. I am going to talk to this insurance agent I know today. If it is out there he will find it. Everyone keeps saying it's pre-existing but that would mean that anyone out there with a correctable birth defect is SOL. I want to make sure I'm a candidate (the only...

Levonian - the link isn't working. I'll try it again tomorrow. Tiara - He said he'd do it! I'm pretty surprised so we'll see. I'll let you know how it goes! I have an appointment for Monday to have my audiogram and determine if I'm a candidate. Also to find out about price. They...

It's nice to meet people who understand. A couple people I know (all normal hearing) think I'm nuts for even considering doing this when I can already hear. Like you said, why suffer and adapt when your problem can be improved? Well, best of luck with your HA search. I don't know much about...

That is a GREAT idea! I never thought of that. I wonder if he'd go along with it - worth a shot!

Wow - that is amazing! Most people are being supportive of my decision but some people (like my fiancee) don't want me to get it done. I keep telling him that he doesn't understand because he can hear just fine. It has to be pretty bad for me if I'm willing to shave part of my head, have a...

I never knew that about Rob Lowe! Interesting. Anyway, I'm so glad to talk to someone who gets it - I've never met anyone with SSD! I just found out 3 days ago that it was CALLED SSD! Haha! I've heard from people who had normal hearing and became SSD later in life that you CAN hear...

Thank you Levonian! What have you heard about cost? I've heard everything from $875 to $5,000 for the procedure! Big difference. I know the processor is approx $2,500 and am not sure about all of the appointments and tests, follow ups, etc. I don't have insurance but apparently it's not...

Hi - thank's for responding. I have been on the Entific website (thank you!) and I have chatted with BAHA users. I'm pretty sure I'm going to pursue this but was interested in a little more info since most of the people I've spoken to are in the UK. Price is an issue as well. Though I...

Hi - I'm 25 and have been deaf in my left ear since birth. I am interested in the BAHA system and was wondering if anyone could help me out with some more info. Any help would be appreciated - thanks!
