Yeah, you are very, very right. I am trying, but according to my school, I have to pick it up at the Disabilities Office everyday and drop it off at night-- and this leads me to believe they will not allow me to take it with me during the summer. (Which is very important, because I have a...

Do you find that the tool they give in the starter kit to get them on is necessary? (It seems like it might be, but it seems like you could save a lot of money by going with the refills rather than the starter kit.)

Oh, and so may be this is stupid-- but what is the difference between a normal FM and a "tour guide system". I keep seeing them marketed as two different things, but as far as I can tell they are basically the same-- or at least the tour guide system is a sub-group of FM. Thoughts?

I think I am going to be purchasing an FM system (I have yet to hear back from my school about whether they are going to do this or I have to, I think I am going to though)-- does any one have one they are thinking of selling/not using any more? (keeping in mind I am a student, and thus very...

Oh, and any product reviews/opinions on Gentner FMs? (They are less expensive, but I assume that comes with some trade offs)

Yeah, I find it shocking that people are just "going green" now. I was raised not to buy stuff you don't need, recycle/compost everything, don't wash your cars, don't buy what you can make, try to avoid using heat/AC whenever possible, drive as little as possible, etc.. I thought everyone...

Oh, and btw, apparently--yes, FM systems only work in certain countries. In the US certain FM frequencies are set apart just for ALDs (and theatre microphones, etc). These frequencies are not accessible/usable in all countries. (You may wind up listening to the radio or something I guess)...

So, I have recently moved to an area that gets much much much more precipitation (in every form) than I am used to (and the rain, snow, etc often starts unexpectedly). I am a little concerned about my HAs getting messed up (I know, I am so paranoid-- because I simply can not afford to replace...

Definitely. I got my hearing aids very late in life (due to monetary resrictions-- hearing aids are pricey!!) and when I got them the noise was just too overwhelming. I couldn't take it. (I felt terrible, because I knew my parents spent a lot of money we didn't have on them.) But, I am slowly...

Yeah, I have had many problems with my disabilities office before. (The woman basically thinks if you aren't in a wheel chair then you don't need her help-- she always calls the phone in my dorm room even though I told her I don't use it.) I wish I could use circular seating (because I rely...

Wonderful to hear that you enjoyed it so much. What do the demographics seem to be for the summer programs? (College students or a lot of older people; mostly hearing, HoH etc?) And what is a normal day like in the program? I am very interested! Tell me all the details you can! I can not find...

I am vegan(no fish, meat, eggs, etc.. no animal products at all), and it is not hard.. people always talk about how you have to 'be careful about getting vitamins' etc as a vegetarian/vegan.. but it is a total cinch. I probably get more vitamins, etc any way because I incidentally eat more...

I tried dating a meat eater... it grossed me out. I tried though.

I spent the last few years with a guy (who was the best person ever-- but changed)... a few weeks into dating told me 'hearing aids are ugly' ... that was just mean. Guess it was good I didn't wear them around him, 'cause it meant I was never really listening.

Lloydhearingaid.com ..not that you can really rely on any test that isn't done in a sound proof booth..

Ok, so I wear BTEs, but I am having some problems in my lectures (a lot of my professors have accents, or can't quite seem to get the knack of facing forward when they lecture, not walking behind me, etc) I was considering getting a FM system (I may also be studying abroad, where I will...

If your hearing aids get bumped or tapped (such as putting your hair behind your ears and you finger taps them slightly, or putting your head against someone's shoulder, etc) do they reset? Mine turn off for 1-4 seconds and then turn on again at setting number 1-- it is hard to tell if it is...

I am HoH and I desperately want to spend the summer at Gallaudet learning ASL (I have done some classes before, and I have found ASL more natural to me, but I feel like the only way to really learn it is to be truly immersed)-- but the programs are soooo expensive. So you know of any...
