Kik- I do the same thing. I have a severe-profound loss but my right side is worse than my left...not by much. So, If I'm too overwhelmed I take my left out ( its the better ear *but* my aid is currently getting upgraded to a UP naida instead of the SP) since my UP is in my right and the SP...

The only way I would really need a hearing dog was if I moved out on my own. I live at home and my dog currently alerts me to noises by barking and if there is someone at the door I know cuz he will be barking at the door. Waiting on my apt to install fire and smoke alarms with strobes and I...

When it was giving me headaches to lip read SO much and was frustrated not hearing people I went and got hearing aids :)

I'm still waiting to see the endo-_- so no insulin for now just crazy carb counting that's not helping at all! I sometimes dislike Canadian health care despite it being "free" ...I am going to ask for the pens tho since I can't be on a pump for a year or so or else my insurance won't pay for it...

I found a really good site and good community to help with questions and such ...i've been posting there a lot which is why i've been absent here. I've learned SO much about diabetes in a month and SO much stuff I didn't know glad I found a good source of info straight from the source :)

Is anyone here type 1? I'm actually LADA (latent autoimmune diabetes). LADA is a form of type 1 and somewhat type 2 but most call it slow onset type 1 or type 1.5 ..lol

It was centered near me in otttawa. It wasn't that bad..shook my bad and was like wait a min i didn't set my alarm clock..lol so then I knew it was an earthquake..it rocked the bed but nothing fell in my apartment. Dunno about my aunts house..she's down the street but a bit closer to the plates...

I don't think someone needs a hearing dog with a moderate borderline severe hearing loss but thats just my opinion. I have a severe profound loss and get by without a hearing dog as does almost everyone else in this forum. I have a dog and if the door knocks and such he barks so I know but thats...

Took a lil break due to some health issues and just needing a break overall. I now have type 1 diabetes so I needed some time to adjust and such but glad to be back and lurking on some of the postings :) :wave:

:giggle: they're actually pigs with :P see the lil curly tails sticking out of the "mud" :P

Yes! Make sure you have a set of bte's with room that you won't max out if you say lose 20-30dB. Since my first ha at 19 I'm now 24 and have had 4 different bte's due to maxing then out because my loss is progressive. I started out mild/somewhat mod to now severe/profound. So my advice is get a...

I'd have to agree. I have a friend who's profoundly deaf since birth and she had a deaf accent and did intense speach therapy and no longer has the deaf accent. If you work hard it can go away...

No ECP knows what she meant ...Adults also have neuroplasticity. It's been proven that when an area of the brain suffers damage that the tissues and other areas surrounding it take on the load and adapt. So, yes adult brains do indeed have plasticity. Furthermore, a child suffering a stroke is...

ive always told the truth and same sometimes share too much...also not sure if people have picked up on it but my username was changed a few months ago due to a stalker..most people should know me old screen name from my posts ... :)

I get people who look at me sometimes I guess because they're in awe of a "young" person having hearing aids...I don't let it bother me...only if people are rude do I say anything. Also those aids are pretty far in ..so I doubt people will really notice them...I wear bte's that are purple lol...

Anyone else have it and if yes how do you deal with the pain?

I know! Damn now I know for next year! ill try and remember..we stayed at kingston plantation? Wasn't too bad...sucked as it was far from the boardwalk though!
