    My old hearing aids...

    LOL.. Now we're even using capitals in "Sighted"... From Deaf, to "Sighted" to "Gay" to "Bisexual" to "not a psychologically healthy way to raise a kid" which is the appearently the same as "being pathologized being a man" or "being a Dutch speaker."

    Regarding which side: Isn't there a marker in the display when you turn the processor on?.. On the right / left side.. Not sure (Talking about Freedom..) But it's not an issue since there are earplugs on the BTE's, so they only fit one way... Before that we had different color on top of the...

    There are covers for the microphones that can easily be changed between colors. When using the three little batteries, the cases for these can also easily be change for color. WHen using rechargeable batteries, you need to pick a color, or buy lots of them.. (Expensive) In the end I think that...

    Excellent info... We have done similar things. The thing we also tried.. very briefly was wig-tape, but Lotte hated that... And it would come loose anyway. Basically, having them off the ear makes life so much more comfortable for the child, and nothing to worry about for the parents...

    If your children have role models for ASL and speech, there will be no problem and they will grow up with many languages. For us, we didn't have a role model for ASL once both of us are hearing. We focused on speaking Dutch at home and Norwegian outside the house.. We do have a feeling that...

    CreatedNat.. A thought... just have 1 brand of CI in the house. If your daughter would have a different brand than you, it would just create chaos. Plus, Your (future) expertise on the CI will benefit her as long as she has the same brand.
