I am looking into a CI also. Haven’t gone to do the eval yet. Need to get an ABR done first. I’m looking at AB though since their HiRes 3D implant works with MRIs up to 3 Tesla which I do get on a semi regular basis. This was important for me. At one point I was looking at cochlear but AB had...

I have a set from starkey that my work got me. It's a binaural headset as well instead of a monaural. I can turn it up a lot louder so it drowns out the background noise.

Hi! I haven't been back on here in quite some time. I have a pair of new hearing aids (Oticon Opn S) and with this whole mask thing i'm looking into getting a roger pen with boots for my ha's so that I can hear my customers properly. My audiologist suspects that I have ANSD. She is looking...

A type 1 diabetic can't "control" insulin. Type 2's are insulin resistant but t1's its because we don't produce insulin at all...I can eat the same things anyone else can as long as I cover it with the same amt of insulin a non diabetics body would...

Sorry haven't been on here in forever! I have the medtronic pump as well now. I got the cgm as well last month. It's called the dexcom. Medtronic has one too the sof-sensor and now the enlite in the states. We already had the enlite here in canada but apparently according to others its not as...

I saw a show once where the girl had a bump on her neck was having hallucinations etc ...dr asked if she had travelled anywhere and had a hunch on what it was..put vaseline over the little hole/bump and an hour later she started screaming because whatever was in there was coming out and it ended...

I think that's great! I love stuff that is waterproof :) saves me from ruining stuff that shouldn't ever be near water :P

I live in ottawa ontario canada and we rarely close schools for weather and we cancelled all busses and closed our cheer gym which never happens either lol Was -38 Celcius which is -36F which unfortunately is common in the winter...these are the days I flat out refuse to go outside in..it was...

So 6 months ago I was dx with type 1 diabetes and it's been hell trying to control my blood glucose numbers and keeping them all the time in a good range. I went on a cruise not long ago and that was basically a sh*tshow of trying to keep good numbers and limit my food intake. I check my blood...

What I'm getting is NOT a standard glucose meter. It is a CONTINUOUS glucose monitor. You wear a sensor and the sensor checks your blood glucose levels every 5 min. There's a reason I put the links in for people to read because it's not just a regular meter and a regular meter wouldn't cost...

Oh definitely not! There's a lot of medical devices that our health system doesn't cover. My hearing aids for example are not covered only given a certain amt per ear as a discount. My grandfather uses a CPAP machine and same thing only a certain amt is given as a discount. He actually buys his...

Hey everyone! As some of you know I have type 1 diabetes. Keeping my blood sugars in a good range is pretty hard sometimes. I don't feel low blood sugars most of the time and something called a continuous glucose monitor would help me with that by alerting me of low and high blood sugars...

This happened to me..had the ABR and it didn't show nearly as much of a hearing loss which is why I was having a hard time getting the CI. CI audi pretty much said (first time) I was faking how bad my hearing loss was ...needless to say she got a NASTY letter from my audi!
