I can pick up many words, from voices I am familiar with. But if anyone is talking behind me or covered mouth forget it.

I wear hearing aid in my left ear all my life. I wore one in my right when I was in school til 1994. The doctor said that I qualify for it and he did explain how insurance works with CI's. He said I have to be really bad in both ears which is the case. I can pick up sounds no problem with the...

I am wearing a hearing aid.

I met with my ENT yesterday) Monday June 29th in Troy Ohio. I really like this dr. With everyone wearing mask etc, he spoke slowly and clearly enough and looked in my eyes asking me questions even though my husband was right there really made me feel good. I was able to understand pretty much...

Working in a retail store, 85% of the time requires phone calls or answers. I used to work in a grocery store as a cake decorator, most times I did not have to answer the phone for orders but there are times where I had to take the calls. Game stop is a very small store with only 1 or 2...

All xrays of any kind everything is to come off, glasses, hearing aids and jewelry. Because they show up on the xrays and removing them shows more clear pic of your teeth or anything than having something on you while getting it done. 1st off they should have told you to take them off. 2nd you...

I have turquoise and clear ear mold.

I wear phonak aid in my left ear as well. My hubby felt I should only do my right ear first in CI then do the left ear. I thought of doing the bi lateral both at the same time.

Does anyone on here have UMR United health insurance? I'm considering looking into a pair of CI's possibly and I was wondering if anyone had that insurance and if it was covered 100% or a fraction etc. Also Is it worth doing CI and sacrificing what hearing is left in my left hear that wears...
