What is wrong with me? I got my first ever hearing aid today and I love it, I mean it's absolutely wonderful. But it makes me appreciate the relative silence I've grown used to. I now have a moderate hearing loss in both ears which is progressive (Meniere's). Every time I have an attack...

Is anyone near Cincinnati? I'm Haylee. I'm HOH and learning ASL and I don't have anyone to talk to who can use ASL! I have to talk to myself! :)

What is a mini-canal aid? My audiologist's office said that's what I'm getting, not a CIC aid. Something about the fact that I wanted volume control and feedback reduction and they said a CIC can't do that. I'm confused now. Well, how much does a mini-canal aid show? I'm still excited...

On my CC on my TV I have choices of C1, C2, T1, and T2. But the CC only works on C1. Why are there other things if they don't work? While I'm at it, what do all those things mean? Thanks!

Help! I'm Clueless. I'm getting hearing aids later in the summer - my tests aren't scheduled until early August because of my classes. I had one recent audiogram done and consultation already. I have a moderate sensorineural (spelling of that is probably wrong?) hearing loss in each...

Hi I'm new I'm Haylee (or JulysRain). I'm hoh and progressively so w/in 9-10 years will be profoundly deaf. I've got basic ASL skills and am learning it via online courses and books. The only class offered around here is one I tested out of (basic stuff). I'm waiting on more testing to get...
