Another one I forgot to mention is called Streamtome and it is subtitle supported. So you can watch movies on your iphone with subtitles. Here's how it works. If you can watch the video on your computer and he computer is running on wifi. Then you can view any files on your computer on your...

First of all I haven't been all that active on here lately so some of you may not know of me. I use to be much more active here. So I'll just tell the basics of my "Story" so you know what kind of experiences I come from with deafness. I've always been HOH and wore hearing aids from the fourth...

In my case the only thing I've had to pay for out of my pocket is gas to get back and forth to the appointments (About an hour and a half drive for me). But other then that I haven't had to pay for anything.

I get the jokes but there is some seriousness there. In some legal situations you do have to prove that you are deaf. For example in my state at least once someone says they are deaf and request an interpreter. Nothing they say without an interpreter can be used in court. In some...

I know it's taking a long time but it's still going great. Just side tracked. I'm sure that's understandable. I've only been activated about 5 months so I'm still experiencing the new world of sound. Anyway I'll tell you a little about my design and how it works. Look at this image. The...

Sorry I misread it. Ron Jaxon

I never thought of the CI as a focus of "Interest". It either works for you or it don't. If you have a 13 year old CI and considering the surgery (rather then just not putting the sound processor on). And you're going into surgery anyway. I'd seriously look into an upgrade. I don't think the...

I don't know if there is as far as "Law" goes. There should be though. Most people can understand how someone can be "Legally blind" but still have some ability to see (Things close, far away, see shadows and light, etc...). But most people can't understand a deaf person who has some hearing...

Well I'm almost 40. I had to use BTE when I was a kid and that was in the 80's. Ron Jaxon

Yea, I put new batteries in this morning and I'll likely have to change them tomorrow evening sometime. The rechargeable are not yet FDA approved for my N5. Ron Jaxon

Most of the posts you read here on this forum that are against the CI are from people who do not have one. Some choose not to get it and that's all fine. But what bugs me is when they don't have one and act like they are experts about them. If they say, "I won't get the CI for the fallowing...

How do people of the Deaf community feel about parents making the decision for young children to receive cochlear implants? My personal view on this is I'm not now nor have I ever been a part of any deaf community. I was deaf for 20 years but I didn't spend much time with other deaf people. I...

I'm using SlideIT. Many thing it's a copycat of SWYPE but in reality it's the other way around. SlideIT was out first. You can also buy SlideIT (about $7) but as far as I know Swype isn't available for many phones. YouTube - SlideIT 2009 - Main features

That's to bad. I talked to someone else who couldn't use it either and they shared an interesting solution. They used some kind of phone answering machine and recorded things to listen to. For example a recording of someone reading a short story. Then they would call and listen to it over the...

I just thought I'd start this thread about using the phone with the CI. Before I get into this I'll first state the obvious and that is the fact that not everyone will be able to hear over the phone with their CI. So there's no need for this thread to be about that matter. We all know that we're...

The Freedon is a little trickier then the N5 because the N5 has those shells (To change the color of the processor) that you can put over them and just stick my holder to the shell. The N5 shell covers the entire body of the processor. The freedom doesn't have those. I have a friend that has the...

What model do you have? I'll look into it and see what I can do. I'll tell you all a little more about my design. If you have a CI on you'll know that it won't likely fall downward because you're ear is in the way. For the same reason it also can't move forward (As in toward your face). So the...

Oops. Typo. Fixed it. LOL

The issue about audi's feel they need to "fix" people is just false. That doesn't happen. Ever. There is a single reason anyone would go see an audi in the first place. Because they want to hear or to see if there is anything that would allow them to hear. So what the heck does an audi have...

Yes, I picked up some of them to try out. They are nice but don't work all that well for my need. My idea for them was to attach my holder to them so they won't have to be stuck to the actual sound processor or hearing aid body. It works a little with them but because they are elastic (Kind of...
