Interesting the original poster to that forum has only posted one time. The site does not appear to have a lot of activity but I'm not knocking that. There is not enough information in the single post to really understand the persons history to agree or disagree with his comments. Please...

What is to say that the stem cells will grow into the hairs within the cochlea like what is found within a good healthy cochlea? Will they get the building instructions from within the cochlea that the already had the defective hair. This could mean that the new hair will be just as defective...

One more suggestion. Most cars, you can push the shifter from Drive to Neutral without pressing the button. Some cars will go all the way to Reverse without pressing the button. Try it in the driveway. Shift to Drive and push forward on the shifter without pressing the button. If you...

Sorry you are having problems with your car. There are so many areas that could be causing the problem. Is the Service Engine Soon Light on or any other unusual lamps on when the engine is running. NOT after the engine stalls. Once the engine stops running, many lights should turn on. SES...

I would like to suggest a new forum be opened for "Stem Cell Discussion". I believe this would be a great addition to the All Deaf Web Site. My current concern is the Cochlear Implant and Hearing Aid Forum recently has had a lot of off forum posts regarding Stem Cell Topics. While I...

faire_jour, I think he was trying to be funny. I really hope he has a realistic outlook on stem cell research and what it will take to make it an option for treating hearing loss. I've been thinking about the stem cell thing and whats to say that just because I have a CI now, doesn't...

I agree that Bilateral CI's are probably not going to be that common but are getting more and more common. I know quite a few users who have bilateral CI's. Most users have had little to no hearing before and are just happy to have the ability to hear sounds again. They may be able to...

To hear the buzzing with the T-coil setting, you would have to wear your CI while sleeping. If you did that, you could leave the CI on microphone and use a regular alarm clock. I don't sleep with my CIs on and my vibrating alarm clock works great. If I fall asleep with it in place, the...

I use the phone on the T-coil setting. I have a mixed setting for T-coil 2/3 to microphone 1/3 so I still get some input through the Microphone but 1/3 normal volume. This gives me the ability to still hear what is going on around me but not overpowering. Some MAPs are set up for T-coil only...

I've been pondering this idea of how to explain how I am able to hear all the different frequencies of a Piano or the constant change of a siren frequency that someone with "normal" or "aided" hearing has said they can hear. I have Bilateral CI's and can honestly say that for me, they are so...

CI's right after the shower then glasses.

Pinky, Sounds like you are doing well after 3 weeks. Being able to tell the difference with the sounds is good. I am Bilateral CI and I can hear both airplanes and helicopters but I can also hear Harley Davidson motor cycles without the loud pipes and neighbors mowing their lawn across...

Left side deafness for 15 years. 13 of which I was unaided in the right ear. Not the greatest at localizing sound. Like others, I used sight for localization. Single Left CI 2 years when Right ear loss went above 90-100db. Sound localization still not great. Bilateral CI for 6 months...

Hear Again, Do you mark your batteries for left and right to keep them with the same side all the time? You mentioned if you put the battery in the other side, it works right? Do you have a friend that can look at the charger when the batteries are in the slots. I have had battery...

CI Moments. There are lots. Almost every day I have something I hear that reminds me how nice it is to be able to interpret sounds. Just today, I heard rattle inside a part I was inspecting at work before I was installing it for a test. The rattle had nothing to do with the problem with the...

Candy, Sorry to hear you are having to deal with Menieres and the fluctuating hearing. I wish no one had to go through the fluctuating part of the hearing loss that Menieres brings out. I really hope you don't have the vertigo to go along with it. I know all to well the total...

Overthepond, First off, the best person to ask if anyone has questions of their mapping session is their audiologist. You have electrode 14 turned off. Do you have discomfort when setting the T or C level? If the T is OK but the C is where you are feeling it, they might be able to play...

Definently under a week. 3-4 days. Mostly due to the lack of feeling on my ear. Felt like it should be hurting but couldn't really tell. After my second CI, I was better at staying inclinded following surgery. No problem with the first, just more neck/shoulder swelling. Neck muscles...

Deafdude. I understand what you are asking. Trying to give you a method of trying this out. I don't know if it works but give it a try and you might have to look for a while. Get an old record player that plays vinyl records and one with the several different speeds. 16, 33, 45 and 78...

Vivie, I don't use any of the special programs. I have not run into one that works better than just the base settings with manual controls. I have worked at trying to make sure my map is as good as I can get it. I for the most part use manual controls as well since when I have them set...
