I left the sink on in the bathroom today- I got up, went to the bathroom, washed my hands, and made some coffee. Around that time, I got a text from my downstairs neighbor saying she thought I left something on. apparently I had forgotten to turn the sink off after washing my hands. Our...

So I already asked one person this, and now I'm curious if anyone else can weigh in. My hearing aids have thin tubes on them and full, soft ear molds. But the thing is, I HATE the thin tubes. They bend, and change color, and dig painfully into my ears. Plus I can't find the tubes mine has...

So, does anyone have one (or more) of these? I'm thinking about buying one, but can't quite decide. They are rather expensive, and I'm not sure how they would fit/work. If yours are corded, are they long enough to reach the back of your shirt without yanking your aids out? Do they fit well...

Next year I'm living in an apartment owned by my college, and when we went to tour, I notice that the fire alarm was simply a standard house alarm stuck to the ceiling. There it no way I'd be able to hear it, let alone through a closed door, and it has no blinker or any kind. Is it withing my...

So I got on the bus this morning to go grocery shopping listening to music with telecoil hooks and my aids on T. The bus started going and suddenly there was this loud, high pitched whinging. After a few moments, I realized the noise coincided with the movement of the bus. Like, when we sped up...

I just got my new aids! Phonak Cassia MicroPs. Purple and all. Even though I have a moderate/moderately-severe loss, they still have a slim tube on them and it seems to work alright, but I've never had one before. And they're so small! That's my thumb in the one pic, they're tiny for power...

I recently got new(but wrong) hearing aids, and with them, my audi got me the completely in canal moulds. Basically just the little part that goes in your ear, like a custom ear bud. She didn't tell me about this, and just did it. I've always had the full or skeleton mold, where there's...

Our ceiling is leaking. Pooooooop. Three leaks in the bathroom, enough to fill a bucket every two hours or so, and one in the bedroom, fills a big drinking glass every 45minutes. It's almost midnight. What do we do? :shock: Uuurg, hate this!

Hey, I'm getting a shiny new pair of Phonak Solanas Monday! Anyone else have these? I'm getting the MicroM BTEs, and I looked at a picture of them, they look so small! I have a moderate hearing loss, and my last pair were analogues, which where huge and chunky. I wonder how these littler things...

Has anyone else been told that they have a hypermobile eardrum? Most of my joints are very hypermobile, so I was not particularly surprised to hear this, but apparently it was kind of a big deal. My audi called all her med/grad students into to room to look at the computer and they did the test...

Anyone else getting a beat down? We currently have half an inch of ice here, plus sleet on top of that. Here're some pics from earlier this morning.

I do not know how to sign. I was educated at an aural school growing up. I've had a TTY for a long time, but at my university, the phones in our room cannot dial out. Recently, my family has to get rid of our cell phone data plan, so now I can't use the AT&T IM relay service on my cell phone...

Hey, quick question as I am an impatient person, lol. How long does it usually take for a new set of aids or ear molds to arrive once your audi has ordered them? Thanks!

Hey, I'm pretty new here to AllDeaf.com. I have moderate hearing loss in both ears, bordering on moderately severe. :D I'm going to school to be an exceptional needs special education teacher in Indiana. Nice to meet you all!

Hi, I decided to join this forum because I am about to switch from analogs to digitals. I've had my old analogs for a long time, it was getting caught in the rain that finally did them in. We couldn't really afford new aids until just recently, so I'm about to get them, and don't really remember...
