I just went for my 2nd adjustment...Yes, it is getting better. And I have now tried the blue tooth phone option - Which was OK, but not great (though maybe it needs tweaking). Your battery problem may be from a noisy environment (?).....I now shut off my air purifier when I am wearing CI. Both...

Yes, you make a good point...I have the "wooing" with some things I now do (And yes, it appears to be now from the surgery) - It happens sometimes at night, when I roll over on that side. Also when I wash my ear (with a wash cloth), the wooing starts-up... It comes and goes....It really does...

California?...New York?...Orange counties are all over the country...where?

I had mine in December and was turned on 3 weeks ago...I had one adjustment...So far, I am not too impressed with it. But, I am patient and still have at least 2 more adjustments. I now hear about 1/3 of what people say, depending on their voices...Some people do not speak clearly...Recorded...

All my life I had deafness and noises in my ears. Sometimes they are loud. I never had an alarm clock or telephone...As a matter of fact I wish I did...I would not oversleep, and miss calls. But, I hear "Woooing" sounds, steady high pitched whistling types of sounds, humming (like a machine...

You mention medications after surgery...Other than antibiotics and pain pills were there any other?

I am an older guy, and I can tell you that everything gets a little more difficult...walking, sleeping, eating (you got to cut out a lot of things to stay healthy)...I cannot say I am getting an indication of dementia...I have misplaced things all my life....When my parents gave me my first key...

Right off the bat, the first thing I would suggest is setting up some type of screen in the waiting room that flashes your name when you are being called....This is the first problem I encounter in medical offices...I cannot hear my name being called. if you can have some type of word processor...

Thanks for reply...I did go for the test...They hooked me up on my left side with a good Phonak hearing aid (it had to be super-sonic) and turned up the volume all the way...I actually heard sound for the first time in 40 years (though word recognition was in single digits).. So, they feel the...

I always traveled for business. And many times I drove long distances. I grew up and lived in a state that restricted CHL greatly. So, I never really thought about gun ownership. If you remember years ago when that designer fellow Versace was murdered, you may recall they had an alert out for...

I am going tomorrow for an evaluation for a CI. I am profoundly deaf. One side is completely deaf. And that is the side they will do the CI. On the side where I have a little hearing, I have vertigo. I overcome it with exercise (I exercise every day to control it). My fear is with the CI, and...

Traveling in and out of NYC is a bit expensive and time consuming. NYC area is having a difficult time with train services. The train from Westchester to NYC is OK, but the subways in NYC are terrible. Driving is a disaster, as everyone drives in - so the roads are always jammed. Parking...

If anyone is studying ASL and wants to get together in Westchester County NY, please send me a message or post a reply. There are ASL classes in the area, but I do not know of any groups or get togethers in which people can practice in a social setting.

It is a sad way to find out. I had the same experience last year. I had a buddy from college for many years. He lived on the West Coast and I on the East Coast. We spoke on the phone at least monthly for years. I never really got to know his family. We had each others numbers memorized. So, no...

Yes, but commuting from here to Long Island or even NYC is a bit of a hassle. I don't know where you are located, but in the NYC/Long Island area, commuting is a big problem these days...The trains are a disaster, and automobile traffic is horrendous. Last week I drove to NYC (about 40 miles...

Yes, and I would suggest anyone and everyone take it... There are too many lost opportunities with deafness. The disability laws mean little. If you want to get ahead in business, arts, services, education...and whatever else, you are better off hearing. I've lost many opportunities in...

Thank you...

I do not know if she meant to be rude to you by screaming...I am profoundly deaf - I hear very little in one ear only, and it sounds garbled. So with a hearing aid I can hear some people, but not many...But almost everyone raises their voice to a scream, hoping I hear them. And I think they...

Thanks...

Thank you, I am in northern Westchester County in NY
