Well, after having an implant for about 5 months now, my daughter has milked this enough. The Audie said she has only been wearing it for about an hour a day, which is not enough to get it to work properly. I kept wondering why she hasn't been improving like she should be expected to. Well...

This is a humorous story I can't help but put out here for everyone to see. It's not really a big deal, since the issue was resolved quickly, but the initial responses I got were not just a little perplexing, but almost laughable. Ok, as many of you know, my daughter is almost completely deaf...

Ok, this is ticking me off. I have Zone 2 audio outs going into the TV streamer, and Zone 2 is on, so the signal is going to the Streamer. Now, I hit the button on the back of the streamer, and the light flashes like it should. I turn on her Sound Processor, and the little blue light flashes...

Ok, after months of petitioning the insurance company to change their policy to include minors suffering from SSHL, the change was made (to my amazement), and my daughter received full coverage for her implant. She did well, and recovered quickly. She had a few days of normal dizziness, and...

Most here know that my daughter just got her CI surgery last week. Well, the other night, she bumped her head pretty much right where the implant is located, and if course it hurt. She didn't bump her head hard enough to get a lump on her head, but I can't help but wonder how durable these...

My daughter now has her surgery scheduled to receive the Cochlear Contour implant in 1 month from now. She will be getting the Nucleus 6 processor, and a few accessories, like the TV streamer, extra batteries, etc. This had been a long process, but somehow I feel like this is just beginning...

Ok, my daughter is almost fully deaf, and to top it off, she is a heavy sleeper. I'm talkin' you could crash a 747 into a nitroglycerin plant, and she might actually roll over in response (typical teenager). Ok, it's not that bad, but getting her up for school is a real chore for the Mrs and...

I just happened on this video on YouTube, and felt it worthy of posting on here for all of you to see.. I heard Kansas University was doing these trials soon, but did not know when. I've been following this research for years, and apparently the first human trial has now occurred, and it will be...

I have a B-day coming up next week, and the wife asked me what I want for my B-day. I told her I'd love to go see the Sunday matinee for "Interstellar" in IMAX. Ok, the hard part is. I know my kids will want to come along, but my one daughter is profoundly deaf, and has a semi-useful loaner...

Ok, this is kind of an odd question, because it always seemed to be on the back burner for me, since I'm more concerned with my daughter getting the treatment she needs to begin with, but here goes. She will be getting a Nucleus 6 implant soon. Most likely in the new year. Hopefully sooner...

I have question about insurance coverage for cochlear implants. My doctor said he will most likely be able to get the insurance to pay for my daughters implant because she is post-lingual, and only 14yo. If insurance is known for paying for implants pretty commonly now, do they also pay...

Just thought I'd let everyone know, I decided to join this forum, mainly to understand everything going on in the world of the hearing impaired. I personally am not hearing impaired to any degree, other than may a tiny bit of tinnitus from working around industrial equipment most of my life...
