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?

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...
