I went from skeleton to full shell and it's much better!!

Thank-you! I always love seeing your avatar as I have 5 African dwarf frogs! I raised 3 of them from eggs, they're 2 months old now :) Ha! Glad I could help :P Good luck on your evaluation! I just had mine less than a month ago and am already having surgery! I'll pray your process goes...

I decided on AB before finding out about the new processor. I will be able to use he new processor with my Naida.

Got insurance approval today and a date! Surgery is next Wednesday the 27th! Soooo excited!!!

I did, but it doesn't cover the ears.

You can soften it by blowing it with a hair dryer on warm, same with the mold. It will be temporary so work fast!

I know you can't use Ear Gear, so I'll skip recommending that lol. I would recommend a headband. I used a winter headband around my ears when I went skiing a couple of winters ago. It worked perfectly, even the several times I wiped out haha! (My first time skiing!) I now have some not-winter...

I don't think anyone knows yet, NaidaUP. We just have to wait for it to be released.

Does he qualify for a CI or is his loss still in the moderate range? He sounds like a good candidate based on what I've read, but he has to have a severe loss.

Google Audiogram and click images. One of the first results is a standard Audiogram with pictures all over it at that sound's specific frequency and decibel level. Anything above his 60-70dB loss can probably be heard by him. Likely not understood but he's only 8mos old.

Yeah all those sounds are faint. They're very noticeable though because otherwise it's silent in my head (aside from tinnitus). My loss is straight across except for a 5dB difference at 500 and 8000 hertz. I'm no response at every frequency but those two, those are 115dB. Yeah, deaf as a stone...

That's great Ash!!!

I have a profound loss and only hear my mom's dog barking within 5 feet of me, a man yelling within 5 feet of me, eighteen wheelers near me, lawn mower in my yard if I'm outside. That's all I can think of. I have 0% speech discrimination aided. I'm getting a CI soon.

Wow today was productive! Met the surgeon! He is very nice and confirmed I can have a CI in my right ear The Dr's Resident suctioned a bunch of blood out of my ears that was there from my eardrum surgery 4 weeks ago. Really gross because I got to watch the whole thing on camera lol! Looked...

1) How long have you worn hearing aids? 2 1/2 years 2) How long did you suspect you had hearing loss before getting the hearing aids? I had instant hearing loss at 8 years old, so 14 years. 3) How long do you wear your hearing aids each day? From when I get ready (put my aids in when I put my...

Hmmm, I'll have to ask about that when I go to get a new tube and molds!

Wow that looks really interesting!

Isn't that just a skeleton mold?

You can rarely be allergic to the casing.

You have to have severe-profound loss in both ears to qualify for a CI. What you would qualify for is a BAHA. You would get one in your worst ear now, and then when your other ear goes you would get one in that ear. BAHA is not just for SSD. Go to this message board, The BAHAUsers Support FORUM...
