What dhh programs? I went to speech therapy and that was the extent of it. I was fortunate in an odd way. Yep, integrated into the hearing world (my parents were really smart but they didn't know anything about being deaf). They did figure out what happened when I couldn't hear much. If we...

Prices change every several days and they still don't make any sense with oil as low as it is per barrel. The other thing that will affect the price is the corn garbage (ethanol) that goes in it because it takes more oil to process it to make it somewhat usable. We're around $2.37.

Whenever asked about getting an audiogram by an ENT, I said no, it's not worth it most of the time. So, I may have had one every five or more years. I know what my hearing was and what's the sense in going.

Where for art thou? I'm handy with a computer and a search engine. I may have some luck (and old contacts).

I'm not surprised about the stores, MelissaWatt, and I'd still walk away with the fee. Yup, paying for audiology services is a bit new (well, compared to my lifetime) and they should be paid for their time. With analogs and a little understanding of the aid, you can add the correct settings...

AlleyCat: Keep that sucker tuned-up and dry. If I can have an Oticon go through the washing machine and still work, there's a bit of hope out there. Isn't this just ridiculous? It's the American cycle. There was a product out there within an affordable range of many (analog aids) and...

I saw the request for an apology while reading or treading through the comments. It's a forum and a reasonably open one. Apologizing isn't mandated in the FAQs and "we" have no control over it. An apology is also pretty meaningless.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2014/12/30/horrifying-civil-liberties-predictions-for-2015/?hpid=z3 I enjoy O'Henry endings and this has one. Bon reading.

Restocking fee: Not all dealers or hearing aid dealers charge the fee and you have to ask. I've told enough people to find out what the return policy is before purchasing anything. I know times have changed and companies are doing what they need to in order to get more money from us. But as...

I won't call you crazy. We all have our preferred method of hearing whether it's through digital or analog HAs or even a bit of a current nemesis - the CI. It's a personal preference. At some point, the analogs will have been used one last time for replacement parts only. But that may be...

rockin'robin: I read about this recently. Thanks for posting this. I'm wondering if our own belief has to do with one's year of birth (or upbringing). I was born in the '50s and it wasn't uncommon to see my parents in the nude. They weren't doing anything other than preparing for work...

The slipping out of your ear tells me the mold has shrunk too much which means you'll need a new mold. If you have highly-powered aids (I don't the brand), you do need an earmold without a vent (vents are for maybe up to a moderate hearing loss) and you'd be better off with a full mold (so the...

This is just one article by someone who may not have the credentials behind it. I'd normally ignore it but it was sent to me. But instead of ignoring it, I checked out some other sites (this morning). I appreciate your responses. Jiro, someone on the website (the link) made the comment...

http://themindunleashed.org/2014/10/mit-researchers-new-warning-todays-rate-half-u-s-children-will-autistic-2025.html I'm just curious as to how many people believe this. If anyone is from around Tom's River (NJ), please let us know. Thanks.

This is really interesting. Jersey kills me but not surprisingly. Thanks for the data.

I've moved off of credit cards for most of our bills/purchases. I have one and only one card for years. I don't pay utilities with a credit card. I use cash more now than I ever have and we have friends doing the same thing. Lots of things are put out there under softened or totally false...

Hoh112: Welcome to the forum. Were you deaf or HoH at birth? I was born with an impairment and over many years but am deaf now as predicted. My biggest issue has also been people saying, "But you don't look or sound deaf." It's annoying for me but understandable. I also spent many years...

I suppose when I was researching it (from the beginning to the present), all I had was what I got - a headache and a hard headband with great understanding. I would've loved to have been able to test the device (assuming it is the same processor (with some advancements)) gad ... I began looking...

Miaou (that is adorable): In my earlier hearing days, I tried the bone-anchored hearing aid. They came with a headband and the processor squeezed my head so much, I felt it was in a vise. But the sounds ... I have never heard better in my life except having my head clamped was not good. It...

Angel1989: I know that since I'm wearing prescription (thin and light) glasses, the redness started. Nope, it's not scar tissue but will be if I don't get this resolved soon. Thanks for your response.
