I had my husband try to figure out how to accept PM's and he said he may have done it but is not sure. I have no idea how to send a PM or set anything up. Please let me know how and I will be sure to do it. Thanks!

Yes we are in the NW Houston area. That would be terrific. We have a good pediatric audi for our daughter but don't know any audis for adults and my father in law just moved here from Cali so he doesn't have one yet.

Thanks! I will look into DARS and thanks for the advice on the Miracle Ear and Beltone. I thought the same thing about Miracle Ear and will tell my father in law about it. I didn't before b/c he was so set on those Miracle Ear aids great-grandpa has now. I had never heard on Beltone so thanks...

Does anyone know if TX has some kind of program that covers the cost of hearing aids? I am really asking for my father in law. I have a Deaf daughter who wears one aid and so this info may help us get help paying for her to get a new hearing aid sometime in the future. However, right now I am...

My daughter wears only one hearing aid and it's on her left ear which has a moderately severe hearing loss. We used a loaner aid for a couple months for the right profoundly deaf ear. It did not seem to benefit her at all. She didn't even know if it was on or off. In sound booth tests and in...

Completely off topic here... Jenny, I just read your post on your blog about Christmas. My daughter right now seems to really enjoy our large family gatherings even though she is the only Deaf person there with an all hearing family and extended family. However, after reading your post, I can't...

Yes we have been teaching her ASL since we got her home in September 07. She is doing very well. I home schooled her last year for kindergarten to help with adjustment and bonding issues. She has been in public school Deaf Ed program since the beginning of this school year for 1st grade. From...

Wow! That's for that info. I had no idea. My daughter has only had this hearing aid. She got it in May and it is her first one. I don't know what she is hearing but she seems to be hearing a whole lot more since the audi turned up the volume on it a month ago. We believed she was profoundly deaf...

My 6 year old daughter has a Phonak Naida hearing aid but we just got a note from the school audi that they are using a school loaner aid for her while she is at school and then switches it back to her Naida when she goes home. They said the reason is the loaner aid has FM capabilities built...

I just found out that this coming Saturday, June 7, is Deaf and HOH Awareness Day at Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. I can't find the cost of a discount ticket though. The website says you can buy a discount ticket there but doesn't say how much. Does anyone know how much it costs? We can't afford...

Looks like we should be able to get the Naida for around $1,800 (if they stick to what they told me in the finance department). They told me I would save 40% if I pay for my daughter's hearing aid in full instead of making payments. So the first quote for $3,000 is only if I make payments. My...

How much will the Naida cost you? I called the audi Friday and now today too and couldn't get a hold of her. I am going to ask her why it would be $3,000 for one Naida and what all is included or if that is how much she charges for just the hearing aid. I am waiting to see what she says before...

Thanks for the links. I will check them out. The only schools for the Deaf I have found near us (we are near Houston) are all oral schools and well.....I want one that uses ASL. Anyways, I will check out the links you found for me. Thanks!

I think my daughter is a 65 in one ear and 95 in the other if I am understanding the results correctly. So yeah she seems to have a similar hearing loss as you did. That kind of surprised me when I read that I may be the only mom on the forum with that view of ASL that you have seen. I guess...

I just got the results from her ABR in the mail today. I really don't know exactly what it all means but here is what it says: Right ear: Synchronous neural responses to air-conducted clicks were questionably seen in the right ear at a high intensity level (95dBnHL). A questionable response...
