    Problems with Advanced Bionics Naida CI

    You all should really consider filing complaints with the FDA. If they get multiple complaints, they will look into this. The benefit is if they determine there is a design flaw they are more likely to make AB replace the processors even if yours dont fail or if they are out of warranty...

    The Walking Dead

    I missed the whole last season due to not having cable but my roommate steamed the season premiere from their cable account. So I watched it. This Negan character is so flat. no depth to the character at all. he is just a killer with no conscience and a huge ego. At least the governor and...

    Is There Any Way To Reduce Strain On My Ear?

    I see you got one, but this applies to everyone. before you go all lawyering up, call the director of special ed (or have your parent do it) and tell them you need an ASL interpreter and if its not in your IEP request a meeting to modify your IEP. This is exactly what the lawyer will tell...

I will be taking them off at...
