I had an unfortunate experience with some bottled Iced tea. Let's just say there was something in the tea that should not have been there. I had to call the manufacturer and I decided I was going to try again to use the phone with my CI. Well I tried hooking the TV/audio cable to the phone and...

I would suggest that if you can understand male voices better choose a book with a male narrator. If you understand female voices better then go with a female narrator. I definitely would not choose a book narrated by a child. I was also activated August 8 (Wow! a busy day for ADers) and...

I would seriously consider working with another audiologist. If you don't trust them I would not want to work with them. You will have to try hearing aids and they should be programmed according to your most recent audiogram. If the audiogram is older than 6 months another should be done. By...

R2D2 and Kalboy, Glad you are doing well after your surgeries.

Vallee, Welcome to AD! Glad the CIs are working well for you. BTW, your Surgery and Activation dates are the same as mine only I am not bilateral.

R2D2 Good luck with your surgery tomorrow. I am amazed you get to eat breakfast. I could not eat after midnight but I was able to have a glass of juice in the morning. Contradica, Glad you continue to do well. Keep us posted.

Glad everything went well! Keep us posted.

I was activated just over two weeks ago and I have the following programs for my Nucleus Freedom: 1. Basic 2. Adro 3. Autosensitivity 4 Louder Program I go back in less than two weeks and I really want to try the t-coil. I would like to try the t- coil with ADRO. I am also going to...

Good Luck with the Surgery Tomorrow!

Love the T shirt ideas, Hear again. I am thinking about having one made up that says Batteries required.

R2D2, I have no regrets! I am already better off hearing wise. I am a happy camper.

Whoa! On my first day after activation I was amazed to be able to understand quite a bit of what I was hearing on the Car Radio. I had a Talk Radio Station on and It has been a long time since I have been able to understand what was being said. I also now know why it is called a mouse CLICK...

Contrdica and R2D2, good luck with your upcoming surgeries!

Michelle, Glad things went well for you! The tinnitus and dizziness should get better as the swelling goes down. When is your Activation?

Good Luck tomorrow Michelle!

DD, I also would like to see anyone who could benefit from a CI be able to get one. I think you identified one thing that might stop some people who could benefit from a CI from getting one. Not all CI centers are going to be as willing to try off label use as there are ethical issues and I am...

:ugh: DD, for the love of god not this trendy device argument AGAIN! CI centers are not implanting anyone who wants a CI. There are FDA guidelines that must be followed. The current guidelines were established after it was shown that those with profound loss with CIs were hearing better than...

It sounds like your ENT is not as informed about CIs as they should be. The only way to know for sure if you are a candidate is to be evaluated at a CI center. GOOD LUCK. I would try SUMO DMs, they are STRONG!

MIchelle, Welcome to AD. Good Luck with your surgery! Keep us Posted.

Hi Everyone! Thanks for all the positive thoughts. R2D2, I have the Freedom implant.
