I'm interested in the fact that you said therapy helped. What type of therapy are you referring too? Also did the rodger pen work well for you? thanks

Has anyone had a good experience with Rexton hearing aid at Costco.

I wear a CI and I have a hearing aid. I can hear someone talk if the room is totally silent and one person is talking. If there are two people talking I don't understand a word. I actually like hearing more from my CI than my hearing aid. I am pretty good at hearing my family but not many other...

I have a similar set up a CI in one ear and a hearing aid in the other. I too haven't solved this problem to my satisfaction. I have done it with a loop system but it just seems like too much electronics. I used to use a direct link with just my CI. Now I use just regular headphones and plug...

Hearing on the phone is difficult to impossible. The closed caption services are ok in an emergency but they too seem to have difficulty understanding. When someone uses a cell phone it often says in auditable. It would be amazing if I could get closed captioning and face time together...

Absolutely. I relate to everything you posted. Interacting is difficult and I find myself avoiding people. I instead find myself focusing on being an artist. I do worry about how much I'm isolating. The interactions that I have with people I worry more that I don't understand them and I say...

thanks for your information I was worried that they charge additional costs based on how long long ago you bought it.

Costco says they replace lost hearing aids for free. Has anyone had to use this benefit. Is the replacement absolutely free. How long is this option of a free replacement good?

welcome sites like this do help. a hearing loss can really make you feel isolated. c

My tv stopped working so I needed to get a new one. I needed a tv that I could use with my Tv ears or actually the better version of TV ears. A german company that makes them. The plug I needed was an RCA plug and the tv had to have an audio analog out. The new flat screen tvs have a digital...

I have a system where I keep my hearing aides and cochlear implant. Nothing makes me as crazy as when I can't find them. The cost to replace them is insane. The even bigger immediate problem is I can't hear without them. What usually is the case is that after wearing my hearing aide for what...

I related a lot to what you said about your CI hearing. I was implanted in 2014 med el user. While I am grateful for the CI it is difficult. I am grateful to hear some noises and for some of the aide that it brings. The inability to not pay attention to other noises is difficult. In a lot of...

My hearing loss is surprisingly similar to yours. Only difference is I now have a CI in the one ear that had no response and wear a hearing aide in the one that has some hearing. My loss was over a twenty year period and I was lucky to have been able to get through college and most of my working...

I have an opus 2 and I'm eligible to get a new processor. I was considering going with the rondo as I don't really like the opus 2 hanging on my ear all day. I heard that people don't hear as well with the rondo as they do with the opus 2. I was just looking for some feedback from people who...

Like others said hearing aides aren't like natural hearing. Hearing aides make florescent lights loud and peoples voices not so much. Hearing aides seem to take all sound around you and make it into virtual sound soap. Normal ears seem to pat down sound you don't want and bring to focus sound...

It is understandable that you got depressed. Change of any kind isn't easy. Loss is difficult. My hearing loss was slow but still caused lots of depression along the way. Life isn't easy. There are good days and not so good days. The trick for me is to try and make the best of what ever...

Has any one ever heard that the insurance company will pay for a new external processor CI. There have been improvements and I was wondering if they allow for upgrades. Another question I have is Do other CI users find that if they don't wear their CI for a day or two they have trouble hearing...
