Ah good find guys. That makes me much happier.
Yeah my hearing in my good ear is very weird. I have menieres so usually my hearing is fine and an Audeo hearing aid (standard receiver) is enough. When I have a menieres attack though, it is not. They haven't released all of the details...
I currently have the Audeo (sp?) and there is no telecoil. That said it is a much smaller hearing aid so maybe this one will have it.
As for the two sides, I can only have one. I have a CI in my right ear (which is AB so the new processor coming out is going to have bilateral benefits with...
Grr why does Phonak insist on only putting a button on their RIC hearing aids. I would have to continue to carry a remote to change the volume. Also no mention of a telecoil in the feature list.
I'm definitely intrigued by the Rhondo processor and it may have changed my decision if it had been announced last year.
Anyways the best way to pick in my opinion is to just write down a list of YOUR pros and cons for each brand.
Examples:
Rhondo Pro:
Nothing on ear
NO cables
Cons...
This was useful for me to find out exactly where the holes in my hearing are located.
Left "good" ear: 550-3500 and 4300-9200
Right "ear" (CI): 250-8000 exactly as expected
Hmm I wonder if I can get sound recover enabled on my hearing aid for the 3500Hz to 4300 Hz gap but have it leave...
I also have a reverse slope loss though mine is turning into a reverse cookie bite loss it seems :(
Anyways you should read through this article for some interesting insights pertaining to reverse slope losses:

1. When did you have the surgery to get your cochlear implant? Sept 26, 2012
2. After you were implanted, how long did it take before you were able to see benefit
from the implant? Myself, 3 months. Everyone around me says that I was noticeably benefiting after 1 month.
3. What situations are...
Hi Kim,
I have some similarities to your hearing and have a CI in my dead ear.
I am 30 and lost my right ear to meningitis when I was 9 months old. I got along fine through until April of last year when my left ear started having serious fluctuations of hearing (basically menieres with less...
I'm going to second the stay away from Dan S. I asked him if he had access to a study on the Nucleus processor's hearing in noise performance and that did NOT go well... :eek3:
ECP, it sounds like you will be a candidate. How is your bilateral hearing in noise? I qualified with this...
I know exactly what your hearing situation is like. I have those same severe fluctuations as you and some days I can hear speech, some days I can't. I have had to go to the audiologists and neurotologist's office many many times to get tested in order to finally have tests that show the range...
Nice! I just got my compilot and zoomlink fm system. Oh man is it a huge help with hearing in meetings and classroom situations.
I think the compilot is naturally quiet. I need to turn up the volume more on the phone program.
I cannot posts links quite yet (still need 3 as of this post). Anyways the deal with the poll tax is that they passed a Voter ID law that requires a government issued ID. You can get the ID for free but in order to get the ID you need a copy of your birth certificate. MS' website shows that a...
The politicians that wrote the law have come out and said that it is specifically designed to close down the one abortion clinic in the state. It is not a law about women's health. This will result in many women dying as the women that can't afford to go to another state will have to resort to...
Hi Shpanky,
It sucks that you have lead such a hard life. I too was picked on in grade school because I had a trifecta of hearing loss, being very smart/always got good grades, and not being very strong. I was lucky and got into a boarding school for the latter half of high school and it was a...
