Jenny, Are one of the signs of this affliction pulling on the earmold to see if feedback occurs? I seem to be doing this since I got the naida a few days ago. I am now playing a game in the morning that I like to call "Beat the Beeps". The object is to get the Naida in your ear before the...

I don't think there is anything designed for bimodal users. I ended up buying a DAI boot and cable for my hearing aid and a y connector from radio shack. I plugged the y connector into the Ipod and then connected the DAI cable to one side of the connector and then the personal audio cable for...

Deafdude, I agree with faire Jour.I If you want to learn more about hearing loss and implants, ask doctors and audiolgists. We can provide you with our experiences with implants/HAs but we don't have our AuDs or MDs. When you see your audioloist again you should ask them more about implants...

Ron, Good Luck on your Surgery keep us posted. For after the surgery my advice is: 1. Throat Lozenges 2. Sleep with extra pillow to keep head elevated or sleep in a recliner 3. Make sure you have pain meds ready. You may not need them but make sure you have them. Don't wait...

Good Post Faire_Jour. Deafdude, success and failure also apply to hearing aids.

I would let your audiologist know your ears are getting sore and see what they advice. New ear molds might be needed. How long are you wearing the hearing aids each day? Maybe you need to wear them a little less until your ears are used to them.

Alicia, Sorry your hearing has gotten worse. My hearing went from normal to severe/profound in 8 years so I can relate. I am getting a Naida next week. I almost got the Zebra but went for the Purple. Another option for you might be the Oticon SUMO DM. If I don't like the Naida I am...

I am getting a Naida 5 UP for my unimplanted ear to replace the Oticon SUMO I lost. (I feel like super glueing the thing to my ear, LOL). I have another mapping coming up after I get the Naida so I will be interested in seeing how I do with both the CI and HA. Does anyone know if the...

First off, CI surgery is NOT Brain surgery. Secondly, we do not know what the daughters unaided thresholds are so it is only an assumtion that the daughter has unaided thresholds below 90 db. I think it is great the Mom is so accepting of her daughter being Deaf and wants to make sure...

CBE, Good Luck with the CI evaluation. I don't have memieres but I have tinnitus. When my hearing reached the severe to profound range my tinnitus became worse and took the form of "musical hallucinations " during the day and at night the tinnitus was a variety of noises that kept me up...

I would encourage your brother to do what ever he can for his hearing especially with his eyesight failing. The criteria for Cochlear Implants has changed because it was found that those with profound losses were hearing better with cochlear implants than those with Severe losses with...

It is never to late to be proactive, hopefully the doctor you are being referred to can give you some answers. Good Luck!

Lucia, Glad your appointment went well. Thanks for sharing info on the nucleus 5. How does the size of the Nucleus 5 processor compare to the Freedom?

Dan, welcome to AD. If you have not done so already, let your audiologist know what problems you are having. Maybe your hearing aids need tweaking or need repair. I would also check what fitting range your hearing aids have. You can check by going to the Resound website. I have never worn...

Good article. I can relate because I was also shocked when I looked at some old audiograms and saw how much hearing I had lost over a period of 6 years. I am a post lingual adult and I am not sure if I would have made the same choice if I had been born deaf.

Jenny, I lost a hearing aid recently and I am so mad with myself. Unfortunately for me I did not take out any insurance and my travel insurance will not cover it. I am going to make sure I have coverage for my CI and Hearing aid in the future. Do you have any coverage for your hearing...

I have some questions about the naida. Has anyone switched from the SUMO DM to the Naida,Which did you like better? Can any of you techies out there tell me What is the difference between the SUMO DM and the Naida ? Has anyone tried the Naida contralateral to an implant?

Web, If you do a search for Beike biotechnology go to the web site and then click on contact us. You can ask questions in the comment section. You don't have to fill out all of the information that comes before the comment section.

I went to the company website asked if they could verify if ths treatment and was actually done. I received a reply and was informed that they had recently treated two patients with severe hearing loss and that the parents were happy with the results. The email also mentioned the company...

If someone is happy hearing SOME speech with hearing aids that is their choice. If someone chooses an implant because they want better access to speech that is their choice. Deafdude, one of the problems with your posts is that you feel those with implants are ripping off insurance companies...
