When I got my first HA in the early 70's it was thought that using only one was ok. I did have bi lateral hearing loss. I think it was in the early 90's that I finally got bi lateral HA's. And yes what the audi. told me was true, it never worked as well as the amplyfied ear, she was actually...

This is one area where my audi is great. She will program the device to my liking, if there are background noises that I perfer not to hear she will go in and change some setting that her mentor would tell her not to change because one needs to hear that. No one does not. It's probably why I...

The anchoring issue is finally fixed. Now programming is going on. I think that is going ok now. Her problem is the audiologist only works a couple of half days during the week and only those days so she's the one who has to accommodate that audi. When I participated in the freedom trials...

God gave me a wonderful, stubborn etc. child with Down Syndrome, ASD, PDA and hearing loss. She underwent open heart surgery for the ASD & PDA, bypass means they stop the heart to connect it, the biggest risk to her was the fact that when they restart the heart they sometimes lose them big...

The ABR was done 2 yrs ago. It showed better hearing then the response test. She has an inherited hearing loss which will get worse as she gets older. The testing was done by the U of MN. It included that, without HA's and with HA's. She's in the Envoy trials.

Congrats!! sounds good. Have fun learning the new sounds... Wait til you hear sirens from the street when you're 5 stories up in a building, then be even more amazed when you're on the 10th floor, and my most recent discovery, I can hear them from 18 stories high, I wonder what the limit is...

well good luck. Is this the next phase? My daughter has had the implant for almost 2 yrs now and is still working on getting it adjusted. Hopefully they've worked out all the anchoring issues. it's cool that you want to be one of the pioneers to. :)

a person with a mild/moderate and even just entering the severe range can get good results from ITE's and ITC's. If one is comfortable with them so be it. It is actually nice not to have to worry about wearing glasses and aides from what I've heard. What you like may not be what I like. My...

The quality between the mircle ear and Siemens is different. I've had Siemens aides and not have many problems with them, my mom had mircle ear and had nothing but problems on an at least yearly basis. I havn't been into my dispenser since the place was sold have any of your heard much...

I have a now 25 yo daughter who's used HA's since 4th grade. The first ABR she ever had (she is in a trial) showed better hearing then any of the other testing she had done. I thought that was kinda weird but thats what they told her the results were.

You know, when my youngest was born 18 yrs ago I had a few problems of my own dealing with the diagnosis of Down Syndrome....then add in the heart murmer that required surgery, then the hearing loss and so on. (she's actually been very healthy and missed many problems that kids with DS can get)...

Yes a parent with a child with hearing loss will hear about Ci's and may decide to go through the evaluation. Why not? The family you bring up evidently is not part of the community that is not dealing with hearing loss which is the group that I believe I mentioned, it's a family that does...

ROFLOL...I remember the find the HA's or find the parts thing. Luckily I didn't have to fing 7 parts. :)

Glad to hear he's responding. Since you stated the his hearing loss is in the severe range he probably does hear the feed back. and no when it is making that noise it's very hard to hear anything else. If you have the molds in correctly and they are giving feedback there really isn't much...

DD where do you come up with this stuff. Ci's really aren't that well known outside thedeaf/hoh community, tho that seems to be changing. But not all hearing parents think that ALL deaf children qualify for a CI.

Any child in a public school system that is deaf/hoh should have an IEP, even if it only states that monitoring will be done every six months. . Not every child who is in public school needs or requires an IEP. My 25 yo never had an IEP. She never needed an IEP. She is hoh. She managed to...

Here let me repeat "If someone really 'wants' to continue to struggle by lip reading and Ha's by all means should be their choice. Beyond that if they choose to go with a CI I wish them the best at getting the coverage they need to pay for it. I will not draw a line for them, no one should...

BAHA's are bone conduction aides. but my understanding with bone conduction is they work best for people who's heaing problems are from conduction problems (no ear canal or middle ear damage) rather then sensory. Myself and my kids were always tested for bone conduction, but we evidently...

My mom purchased aides from miricle ear in the 90's. She had to pay to get them fixed at least once a year. Finally gave up and got some frorm a different company. SOunds like they havn't changed much.

No it's water resistant. You can get it spalshed or be out in the rain but don't dunk it in a body of water.
