Certainly not MY dog?! My ninja, genius service dog? Oh, she must be banned ASAP :giggle:

What really did it for me is AB's implant's ability to simultaneously stimulate multiple electrodes. The others can't do that. This is as close to normal cochlea function as there is! My Dad is an Engineer and after reading all the technical mumbo jumbo that makes my head hurt, he said AB, and...

AB's new implant (Naida CI Q70) is awaiting FDA approval in the US. It is already approved in Europe and Canada. Estimated release here is early summer. Any AB implant recipient implanted after September 2012 will receive the Naida CI when it becomes available. If you get 1 processor, they will...

Meaning "yeah that!" or "I agree!"

THANK-YOU everyone!!! (except Jane Douche-All)

First of all; very rude to call her out in my thread when she was being nothing but nice and supportive. Second of all, a parent who would not implant their deaf child is DRASTICALLY different from a Deaf adult choosing to get a CI! She does not need to defend her positions. It makes complete...

This! My loss from 8yrs-22yrs was purely conductive, and I could always hear my voice just fine! It's why I can talk without "deaf voice." I didn't stop earing my voice until my sensorial loss increased!

Hahaha BleedingPurist!! I was SO overwhelmed yesterday the last thing I wanted to do was get on the Internet! Going to copy and paste: Well, I can hear!! Everything was very weird at first, sounding like squeaking noises that made no sense. But I could tell when my Mom laughed (I looked at her...

It's not often that someone on a message board comes in and rubs everyone the wrong way. But you definitely seem to have managed it Oc318.

Thank-you ladies!!! I'm SOOO excited!!!

I think the volume follows your programming, but check with your Audi, you never know. Mine is turned off, but that may be an anomaly, worth checking into.

That's a RIC aid, Ambrosia, also a good option for OP.

You will find more people with your type of loss and more help for aids that fit that loss on Hearing Aid Forums | Hearing Loss | Hearing Aids - Powered by vBulletin . Most of us here are deaf/Deaf and need much more powerful aids than you will need.

It's to give you time to change them BEFORE they die.

It was an error that turned it off on its own, but it shows on my Audi's programming, and she said she could turn it back on if I wanted, but I told her not to. So the fact that it CAN be turned off isn't an error or problem.

Has her Audi not done a bone conduction test on her? If he/she has, then you (or rather the Audi since you don't know) would know her type of loss (sensorial vs. conductive). If the bone conduction results are the same as the pure tone air conduction results, then her loss is sensorial. If the...

I know you know a lot about Naidas, but you can't say that the low battery warning cannot be turned off, because MINE is turned off. When hooked up to the Audi's computer, it tells her this. ETA: Now I see you took that from Phonak's website. Sorry. Anyway, regardless mine is turned off, so...

You can turn off everything. Start-up delay (which means there's no extended delay, you still have to wait a few seconds for it to power-up), start-up dings, low battery warning, etc. I have everything turned off on mine. The low battery one being turned off was an error on my Naida, it did it...

I'm glad it went so well :) Sounds like she won't have a problem wearing them from a physical perspective. Just remember it's normal for ER to be overwhelmed from the sound at first, so the Audi will likely have you work up to ER wearing it more and more time each day.
