    Why are you deaf?

    I had to many ear infections, to many rounds of tonsillitis, to many sinus infections, and to many sets of tubes. When I was in my 20's they did a tonsillectomy, adenoids, and sinus surgeries. They found 3 small and 1 large rhinolith that they felt were leading to Eustachian issues.

    RadioShack declares Bankruptcy

    I loved the place for years. I could always go and get stuff for bread board projects when I ran out of something at the last minute. A couple years ago they just pulled all the stuff I went there for and stopped shopping with them. I never spent more than $10 at a time with them.

    which do you choose the hearing world or deaf world?

    It comes down to what you are conformable in and if you can make a living in your world. If there is not a community where you live that you fit into to can you be truly conformable? I'm able to do a lot of my work from home. When I’m at home most likely I do not have in my HA or CI. Part of...

    Dash Cam

    If all you need is a single cam I don't see why not us a normal one and wire it into a 12 volt source that is always on. Most do not draw a lot of power ans should not be a problem if you battery is good an you drive daily. I know they make a system that has 4 cameras and a central DVR. I...

    Dash Cam

    I know they make a system that has 4 cameras and a central DVR. I dose not have an internal battery, but it has a very low amp draw. My brother has one in his semi. I sent him an email who knows when he will email back.

    Something very similar happened in my family years ago and the family is still at odds. My grandparents had 1 living kid and 5 living grand kids. The will read something like... Person A, B, and C split the first 3 million. Person D, E, and F split the next 3,000,000. The next 5,000,000 went...

    The owner has the in-canal HA's. He has had them for the 6 years I have known him, I know we had a discussion about it 6 years ago when I was hired, but don't remember what he said. The operations manager and a couple of the lower managers are HOH. The rest of the management are hearing. I...

    Messed up situation at work. Need some thoughts.

    I was thinking that if I got her out it would be easier to break up with her if that’s what it came to. Right after I cooked this morning she started with my new 3D printer and what table I was going to put it on in my shop. I just could not tell her it is to big for a table and sits on the...

    Messed up situation at work. Need some thoughts.

    I'm sure they are hiring, but I think most of the production staff makes $11 to $14 an hour. It's not to bad for the city we live in. They found that hiring deaf people works better for them as they have a drive to work and can be very hard for them to find good employment at other places. We...

    Messed up situation at work. Need some thoughts.

    I don't mess with my CI much; I set it up and go. The only time I mess with it is when I switch over to blue-tooth. I find it to be a huge pain in my butt to change the volume on my CI all the time as once I start playing with it I keep playing with it. If I'm blue-toothed I just change the...
