What's DAI? Unfortunately, insurance In my country doesn't cover baha so i have to get the money from my own pocket.

i've been working as an operating room nurse for the last 4 years. SSD -- profound on my left ear. i didn't actually tell my employer that i had hearing problems when i first started because i was afraid they wouldn't accept me. :(

hello everyone! i've been deaf on my left ear for the last 20 years without using hearing aids. it wasn't until a year ago that i got tested because that was when i was really having trouble understanding people especially in a noisy environment. that was when i found out that my hearing loss...

well, it's just being introduced here in my country and i've been chosen as one of the first recipients of it here and because of it, Med-el will be giving me a substantial discount. i don't know exactly how much coz i haven't contacted the company but my doctor said about 50% off the price of...

Which one of you here has the Bonebridge? My ent just told me that I'm a candidate for the bonebridge. I'm really excited and at the same time scared and nervous about it. I don't really know what it's going to be like to have binaural hearing. But from what I read, it's not really "binaural"...

enlarged vestibular aqueducts.

I'll check with the audiologist too. Thanks for the advice! :)

My ENT told me about using CROS aids but i didn't think it mattered much because my right side has normal hearing. She also suggested doing the BAHA but the technology wherein there won't be an abutment protruding through the scalp hasn't reached my country yet. She wants me to wait for that and...

hi there! i've been using my nitro 301 bte for about two weeks now. i can't compare it to anything as i have little experience with HAs. but i was wondering if someone here could help me. i have profound unilateral hearing loss on my left ear and normal hearing on my right. since wearing the...

geez. you didn't have to be so harsh. i was just asking. =P

hi! i was wondering who else here takes Ginkgo Biloba, magnesium, zinc, and methycobalamin tablets?? my otolaryngologist have had me taking these for the last 6 months. oh and i also had intratympanic steroid injections a month before taking the tablets so, i'm not sure if this is a result from...

good luck to you! my doctor said i'm not a candidate for CI because i only have unilateral hearing loss so it's HAs or BAHAs.

hi. i have profound hearing loss on my left ear and normal hearing on my right. i've had it since i was a kid but it wasn't until my teens (16-18yrs. old) that i realized that hearing with one ear is is not normal. i went to an ENT and found out i had severe-profound hearing loss on my left ear...

hi. i was wondering if you were using HAs prior to having a BAHA? i also have profound deafness on my left ear since birth but i didn't go to a doctor until i was 15 --- now i'm 25. my doctor recommended this to me but she wants me to try HAs first. i'm on trial fitting now. i think it's good...

i have profound mixed unilateral deafness. my doctor recommended this for me too but she said i have to wait until next year to get one coz there's a new advancement in BAHAs that won't require to have a titanium screw on the head. so we're waiting for that.

i got my first injection today! it was very uncomfortable and i felt very dizzy as the steroids were injected so i just closed my eyes and tried to think about something else. the doctor also instructed me not to swallow for 30 minutes!! i couldn't help swallow 2x or 3x during the first 30...

i got the sick leave! :) i was sooo worried she won't let me go because of short staffing but she did. i'm so happy! can't wait for my ITS injections. btw, it's funny how news travel fast in the OR. It was just yesterday afternoon when i asked for my sick leave and now almost everyone's asking...

i'm happy to help! it's not easy to work in an OR especially with profound hearing loss but i think it is rather the ideal setting for someone who has it because inside the OR theater, it's really quiet and probably the only person who talks is the surgeon so you can really hear what's going on...

hi guys! i just came back from visiting an otolaryngologist. she made me get a ct scan of my temporal/mastoid area and she found that there's a certain part in my inner ear that's enlarged. this is causing abnormally high pressure in my inner ear which is probably causing my deafness. she...
