Just remove the processor from your head, that's what I do. With the ones that have bars that come over the head, the more padding the better, don't want to crack your head to bad. :)

Maybe you could ask the moderator what happened to the edit buttons, if you could edit the first post to clarify that you were mistaken perhaps the discussion will cease. :)

If you read skullchicks original post (which she has now stated in the post following you that she had misunderstood something in the blog so wasn't following the thread she started, in hopes that it'd drop down the list and disapear I imagine) and actually go read the blog you can see where the...

can't find the edit button. But what I meant was I pulled down the liner then i filed(or took out) a very small amount of the Styrofoam lining about the size of the receiver, making a small depression, so it would sit in that small recess rather then being pushed against my head. then I...

I don't blame you for getting frustrated with the way the topic of your childs deafness was represented from the start here. I believe it had to do with a recent study posted saying 'some' babies/toddlers recover 'some' hearing (unaided). Your blog was supposedly proof that hearing does...

I've had my mc endorsement for about 5 yrs now and still ride. Why would I stop? As for the helmet. I pulled down the lining and filed off just enough of the lining in the spot where the implant sits to relieve the pressure. That helped very much. I also had to cut the bow of my sunglasses...

So name them, I must have missed those people, all the parents postings I've read state that their child is still deaf. Like Cloggy said, his daughter is deaf, but she hears. Same with myself.

Cochlear has a one time loss/damage replacement doesn't it? So your insurance might not need to be used. I thought I was told they had a one time replacement. Anyone remember? .......I've had mine for 2 yrs maybe it's almost time to get some insurance on it. :)

A very strong and articulate young lady. :)

Yeah that's what I said. If you choose to think you are hearing well with HA's with a profound loss with your hearing aides more power to you. As I said "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...

Adam, if you have insurance (not gov provided there are no exceptions from Medicare or Medicaid from what I was told) you might want to go through the testing for an implant if that's what you are thinking of. I heard around 70% of the HINT sentences, was your audiologist using single words...

The friends you have in hs will probably not be the friends you have throughout your life. People do change, you Shel no longer live in the hearing community, you 'in effect' turned your back on that community when you embraced ASL and the deaf community. Your needs changed from what you grew...

As one who was over the line (heard to much) I don't think I would draw that line for anyone who is ambiguous, gov. and insurance agencies have already drawn a line if you really need one, and personally hearing around 70% with HA's really sucks, those decision makers should live that way :)...

I clicked the link and got a page that says the blog is open to invited readers only?

so? WHy experiment with many different HA's when one already has some newer ones and they are supposedly powerful enough for ones hearing loss....one wastes so much time trying to find something that in the end does not live up to ones expectations.. but if that is 'your' choice don't...

:) Adam any time Ci's are mentioned you will get controversy here. It's ok tho. As for yourself. If you want to look into the CI and see what it can do you could try going to places like the Cochlear website and joining their discussion groups. They have people who have received...

Having been an 'ambiguous' candidate I'm happy that I did not have to rely on your 'insight' when going the CI testing route. Why should a person with severe/profound loss continue to struggle with different amplification products when one has a better chance at clarity of speech with a CI...

I find it amazing that some think that all schools for the deaf are going to automatically be wonderful and great places to get an education. That they will automatically provide things that they had never provided before. Nope, until someone who is informed of their rights under an iep pushes...

oh that's what i meant but I guess my mind and fingers didn't work well together...glad you did clarify the point. :)

The turning it off thing will happen eventually. :) Actually according to my now 24 yo being able to turn the HA off when a teacher is going off on a rant because a couple of the guys were pushing to see what they could get by with is awonderful thing. She'd just reach up and turn them off...
