My audiologist likes to make his own hard ear molds and often "sells" his brand with a promise that I would like them as well as that they would last longer. I had them as a child and didn't like them. I have worn a semi soft/hard for years and a hypo allergenic brand. I love it but I also...

I have a full earmold ( no dome and will not work for me ) and recently in this last year my inner ear has become very itchy. The earnold is fairly new and is starting to show signs of pitting from the itchy ear as I have tried to treat my inner itchy ear with Neosporin and Hydrocortisone. Is...

Crocheting baby blanket for my first grandchild. :)

I am from Stafford, Virginia. Its the longest home I have had since my husbands retirement from the USAF.

When I get stuck in traffic I usually will just observe what's going on around me.. if I know its going to be a long wait in traffic I will call ( fact time )my mother or with my bestie ( hands free of course ). TTPBM: Are you close to your siblings?

All~ Went back to the Audi. Showed him the difference and was surprised. Called the manufacture who made them and offered me another pair free of cost. These came back in a pink flesh color and much better than the previous white silicone I had been using. They still could not offer as to why...

I am still wearing my analog Rextons mini for my profound hearing loss. Love them. Simple and no technological gimmicks. There’s a gentleman out of Florida that seemingly can repair hearing aids, Hal Fishbein ( not sure on the correct spelling of last name ) and also if you can get your...

42 years of wearing earmolds experience but I came home in new molds and found that one turned yellow. I understand that over time that silicone will change color as well as wax from your ears will make your molds change . Anyone experience this ? Just frustrated with the Audiologists who can’t...

Good ole okra seafood gumbo with rice and fried shrimp on top.

Hello all, Does anyone have a recommended app that allows a hard of hearing person to use a couch to 5 K app? I am interested in running and trying to use my iPhone as an helpful tool to achieve my goal. I get the feeling I may just have to find a personal trainer for this help or try to do...

Some boutiques, yes, especially in small home towns. Its nice, small and quaint. Now that I have my passport I am ready to find some out of the country. TPBM~ Do you have your passport and where would you go?

I come on here once in a while.

Thoughts and prayers are with you .
