Hey guys, haven't been on here in a while. I got new hearing aids, a new Phonak FM, etc. I also got accepted to Ithaca Early Decision for psychology!! I'm in the process of getting my disability paperwork together, which is a whole other story. HOWEVER... I'm trying to win a scholarship...

Hey! So I did get that spiral put in my cartilage, and I love it! It's not too bad with the hearing aid. The bottom hole is rejecting a bit from falling into the door/an unfortunate incident where my tuba hit the piercing hit the hearing aid hit my head. :P Anyway, I'm enamored with the way a...

So, cleaning the break room today at work. Another employee sits down, begins eating, whatever. We're the only two in the room, and he kinda starts a conversation about who's working today, whatever. I'm not wearing my hearing aids, because they amplify everything, which isn't good when I'm...

HEY everyone. I found a coupon for Energizer*** hearing aid batteries, 3$ off. You go to Energizer Batteries, Flashlights, Energi To Go & The Energizer Bunny. Energizer.com. and it should be there. You "register" (OK, you really don't have to, it doesn't send it to your e-mail or anything, just...

So, I'm thinking about what college I'll want to go to, etc. I'm going to have to meet with an advisor to talk about what I'm looking for in a college. Because I'm hoh, not deaf, I'm not thinking about RITD or Gallaudet. Are there any particular schools that have good, minor services for...

Got new earmolds today. I guess I overestimated my abilities/assumed this whole thing would be easy, and instead of getting them fit, just picked them up with uncut tubing. Mistakee. So now I'm stuck trying to figure out cutting the tubing, but also making the tubing stretch to hug the earhook...

So, a very popular hearing aid technology provider's website has several movies... most or none of which.. are not captioned. I don't want to slander the company. I like their product, use their product, and have had positive experiences with them. I just find it ridiculous that for a company...

So, after much deliberation, late night intensive review-readings, and lots of hesitation... I finally pulled out the old visa gift card and bought the iLuv Dual Alarm Clock w. Bed Shaker/iPod Dock. I'm planning for this thing to last me the next 6 years, especially for work/college :D I'm...

Well... started work today, and pretty quickly realized that while I can hear the PA system, it's difficult to understand. One of the most common announcements is so-and-so to dial a certain number. They do, of course, also make other announcements, but my big problem has been with these. I'm...

And it looks like I might be getting some Naida IX SP's. (Note: the aud let me try these on, but I don't remember her telling me these were Naidas, however, she said they were phonak, they looked like this, and were zebra print: these are the only phonaks i see with that option) :D Hopefully...

I was lucky enough to get hired at a local retail store. I did not mention my h-aids or hearing loss on app, at interview (which was more like a "Hi, sign these papers and show up for training"), nor on training day. During the interview I wore my hair down, but during training it had to be worn...

I'm looking into getting an industrial ear piercing [Google "Industrial Piercing"] meaning a high cartilage piercing, but I'm guessing this might not work well, because I wear Phonak BTE's. When I next can, I'll upload a pic of this just so you can see exactly how my hearing aid sits on the ear...

Sorry, please disregard this. My brain slipped and I realized that I posted it in general, not H-aid. Again, sorry. Please return to your internetting. :D

I have Phonak BTE Savias, and lately I've noticed that I've got some moisture in the tubing. I have a little cup thing with a scre on lid and a smaller set in removable cup thing that has holes in the bottom like a sieve, and you're supposed to place the aid in the smaller cup, placed in the...

Ok. So I know this woman who, ever since she got her hearing aids (Bilat digital in-ears) she's been having problems with them. I'm not sure what kind they are exactly, I'll have to ask. The other day she was down to one-- she is pretty bad without them. I don't know her exact loss, though...

So, I decided to go out and see the movie Sherlock Holmes. Looked OK, knew the basic story... except not. I failed to realize that the entire movie was British accents (I know. Duh.) and very quiet/whispering. The movie went like this: Person-dsngjhnerougnfvdnvaoiero HOLMES sdghiuhrfz...

OK. Hi. I am hoh, wear Phonak Naida BTE's with boots. I got them 4 years ago, and used a "box" type FM system (Small clip mic with transmitter for pocket/clip, receiver was in fabric box on desk) for 3 years before that. This'll be new for me, because I always seem to have many questions that...

Hi. I am hoh and wear bilat BTE's, Phonak... Naidas or something?? Still not sure :D I use them with boots and one of the old EasyLink microphones, and I have a few questions: Can I get a replacement audio cord to connect to my iPod/computer/tv so I can go back to using this stuff? I bought...
