Be glad they didn't make you get in it! My dad has this a lot, they send a wheelchair because he's blind and refuse to take him to his plane unless he gets in it. This is worse in the US than anywhere else, I assume either insurance worries or they haven't been trained to help him find the way...

I have been looking at various communication options for a while, wondering what might best suit my needs. I have concluded that full on sign BSL is probably not for me. Why? Well, because the essence of communication is to have someone to communicate with. I don't have friends who can sign and...

How well do you actually hear and understand? I can see that's an impressive audiogram and you can hear tones really well in all frequencies, that's way better than my aided hearing! But do you understand what you are hearing or is it still all beeps and robots? Hearing is only half of the...

I can't see it! :| I can see there is a thumbnail there but when I click to make it a larger size it just goes blank.

"But you heard that!" about anything and everything. No, I appeared to hear you droning on at me about goodness knows what because I nodded my head a bit here and there. I presumed that person was making small talk because he moved his mouth at me so I answered with a generic response which...

Not exactly technology, but related to it. Now that all the body worn stuff is going out of fashion I can't find these things any more. I don't mean the ugly as sin leather monsters you get from catalogues, but a lot of folk used to make pretty ones. I need something to hold the transmitter end...

How do people feel confident to get stuck in and play when they can't hear anything? My ears are going through a rough patch at the moment (fluctuating loss) and even with the hearing aids a lot of stuff is a total bust. I was at my recorder group the other week playing away but not hearing any...

My old ones never made anything any clearer but the new ones do.

Indeed, there is an assumption that a food can be classified as "healthy" or "unhealthy" across the board for every individual in every situation. Really? I have a bowel disorder that means I must eat only foods low in fibre, so if fruit and vegetables were prioritised it would leave me nothing...

To try to be a bit fair, it's not clear if the terp was booked for both hours and couldn't make the second because of this last minute chicken incident, or if via some miscommunication or other she was not booked for the second hour at all. It seems from the conversation that she was under the...

I've no personal experience but have you searched the net for blogs? If you search for "My cochlear implant blog" you tend to get more experiences from older teens and adults and they talk you through every experience they have as and when it happens. I think they usually want to implant your...

I was discriminated out of teaching in the UK. I was in the last batch of students still subject to the pre-training "medical" which required you to be able to hear a whisper with someone's back turned to you. I appealed my way through that one on the basis that it would be illegal 12 weeks into...

I had months of being told the buzzing noise in my ears couldn't possibly be out of my hearing aids it must be tinnitus. The Siemens rep came and started on me like I was making it up and causing trouble. The audiologist had been way out of her depth doing my fitting and kept insisting that if...
