So I just purchased a webcamera because many of my friends have wanted to chat online through one. Some of these friends sign which obviously isn't a problem, but I have a few friends that I knew before I lost my hearing who want to "chat" through it. The problem obviously is the fact that it's...

Hello all! I'm currently studying to get my degrees in art education and Deaf education (two bachelors at the same time-yes, I'm crazy). For my Issues in Art Education class, we had to read a whole bunch of articles, choose one and write a 4 page paper regarding an "issue" presented. We have to...

Do any of you NOT really have any ear wax? I know that sounds weird...but my ears don't seem to make any (even when I clean my ears with a Q-tip, nothing is there!) Is that weird...or normal? There's not normally anything on my ear molds either when I pull them out at teh end of the day...

Hmm. Ours is only open mon-fri 8-4. I'll have to investigate that law...I think it's crazy that the center isn't open longer-especially since we have over 15000 students here! I think that's because we have a hospital within walking distance-however I really can't pay for an ER visit, so I'll...

No, doesn't hurt on the outside just all the way in the inside (you know where that piece of cartilage sticks out on the inside part of the outer ear-go right to the side of that, and all the way inside the ear-THAT is where it hurts-all the way inside of my head and once in a while it feels...

WOW! haha...thanks! i'll head to the health center monday to see the MD there...

he said because there doesn't appear to be any fluid that he could see (my eardrum wasn't red or anything) and the tymp didn't show any fluid behind the eardrum it shouldn't be an infection of at least the middle ear. he didn't really say anything else though.

again i don't know. ear wax wise...i don't really make any. i clean my ears and there's never anything. i figured the pain would just go away because the audi looked inside with the light and did the tymp and he said he didn't see anything. so keep waiting for it to go away. it's not even like...

not really. i can breathe through my nose fine-it's a little stuffed because of the cold, but nothing out of the ordinary. it's only in my right ear also...my left one is fine.

Thanks. yeah i plan on calling the office if it doesn't get better. by the way, my ENT (the one who was trying to figure out what was wrong and said to just "wait and see" and all that stuff)-yeah he got fired. have you ever had any ear pain like this?

welcome back! missed seeing you around here! as i've learned from you and everyone else...if your audi insists on doing something that's not right for you, time to find a new one! hopefully it all works out well!!!

I've been using a humidifer (I thought the same thing-I also thought maybe it was all of my coughing just irritating it...it's been over a week now though of waiting for it to just "go away"). I shower at night before bed and in the morning I normally put my aids in, then put my winter hat over...

i've been doing that...i've actually been sleeping with the water bottle because it helps ease the pain enough to sleep...it lasts for about an hour then it comes back. have you ever experienced this? is this normal with hearing aids? (i've had them since sept...this is the first time though...

Quick question for you all. I just finished having bronchitis (I'm still coughing, just not as bad)-I wasn't sick in any other way through (nose, fever, sore throat, nothing-just a nasty cough). Anyway, last Friday my ear started hurting insanely. By Sunday I realized I wasn't hearing much out...

that ROCKS! very artistic, creative and wicked sweet!
