Does anyone here use Siemans "Pure Carat" hearing aids? Do you like them? I just got a promotional mailer from an audiologist who is closer to me than my regular person. They are going to have a Siemans specialist come in a couple weeks and they are offering appointments. The "Pure Carat"...

I wondered if any of you great cooks here use a slow cooker. Any recommendations as to which ones are good, which ones not so good? I've seen some where you can use the insert on the stove to brown the meat or whatever first, before you slow cook it, and that seems like a good idea. I'd be...

On Facebook, "The Patrick Miracle" site just posted info about a 2 year old deaf, male (neutered) Staffordshire terrier. The owner turned it in *requesting* that the dog be euthanized because it's deaf!! The shelter evaluated him and he did very well. Non-aggressive, somewhat fearful/alert...

Does anyone here use the Rexton Bridge hearing aids, with or without the remote control? I've been trialing the Oticon Chilis and while they are better in some respects than my Phonaks, they are not $4000 - $5000 better, so I won't be buying them. I was in a different audi's office this...

Someone on my poodle list posted this. The video is not captioned, but is a graphic example of what can happen to a small dog picked off by a hawk. This little one lived to bark about it, thankfully, but you can see by the wounds and stitches how serious the injuries were. Just a warning to...

For those of you who change your own tubing: where do you buy the tubing and the little foam wind protector dealies? (I have Phonak Savia Arts.) How do you do it with the little metal clamps inside? Can that be done by the HA user at home? I used to change my own tubing, but now have those...

At LoveBlue's excellent suggestion, I'm starting a thread for audio suggestions in the NoVA or greater D.C. area generally. Mods, is it ok to ask for specific names or offices, or should the specifics be via PMs? I'm OK with it either way. I like my audi well enough. She is in McLean, if...

I mentioned in another thread that poodles were so smart, they need to have things to keep their minds occupied or they will figure out things to do all by themselves, which might not be what you want. Casey has just proved the point. We have a small covered kitchen wastebasket that has the...

Hi everyone, I've been reading for a few days, so time to introduce myself. I'm a 60 year old, late deafened woman, now retired from the Foreign Service. I lost my hearing gradually over the last 30 years; hearing loss was accelerated after I lived in Ghana and had to take the anti-malaria...
