Thought it would be fun to have a gallery of Hearing Aid and CI style pics. I'm posting in Deaf Culture rather than the HA and CI forum because it seems to be a Cultural thing. Most culturally Hearing try to hide their Earwear. Whereas Deaf show it off. Walk around any Deaf school or...

Just wondering if anyone else with zero residual hearing such as bilateral cochlear implants or part of the 5% Deaf population with no functional sound perception has these experiences. The explanation is that the brain converts sound pressure waves or vibrations to sound. Examples are...

Wanted to share this is available. They just agreed to pay my Medicare deductible for bilateral processor upgrade. About $3200. They won't offer it up front, that will offer payment plan first. When I told them no go, They sent me the paperwork for Financial hardship assistance. You...
