Well no duct tape....damn....but it was close...I had to hold the test coil on as it didnt have the replaceable magnet. She figures I am just still swollen and that will get better but I am using the highest one right now and it is holding pretty good.

Man my magnets around the house suck ahha....i cant do anything close to that fun... Hope they got a extra super duper one at the Audi on Thursday otherwise....duct tape it is

Thanks for the best wishes. I received the Med-El implant....I think I posted in your thread over on HearPeers as well And good luck you Adam

No I dont do drugs... jk Yah man first time....will be a crazy ride im sure

Well it has been a pretty quick few weeks since my surgery and I am going on Thursday for my activation appt. I am feeling pretty good now, still some tenderness around the ear but that is to be expected. The scar has lessened significantly and I am hoping it will completely flatten out...

Congrats I go next Thursday for my activation...glad its not sooner as i am still sore to the touch on that side. Looks they are doing you just over two weeks...here the standard is 4 weeks after surgery.

Hey Deaffy Great to have you back...As I am just about 2.5 weeks post implantation surgery I look forward with great anticipation to even gaining a fraction of what you can "hear" now. Of course your experience is what I hope and pray for, but I am keeping my expectations low so I am not...

Suspected unknown viral infection... Ears plugged up during a bad cold, the ringing started and I began to "Say What?" Two more noticeable declines over the next year and half or so to the point of being severly/Profoundly HOH/Deaf. A precursor to the cold was a trip to the DR during...

Hey AJWSmith...welcome... Its never too late to post something worthwhile. I started losing my hearing at 27 (3 years ago) and have progressed to the point of being severely HOH/Deaf. I have not reached out to the Deaf community in my city so like you I look to the folks on Alldeaf for...

As a recent Sunnybrook implantee I can offer a little insight as to my great personal experience there. My initial appt was with an audiologist, not a nurse, infact I haven't even met a nurse in that dept. A surgeon, some student doctors, two audiologists, a few administrative people but...

See Im not the only one....haha but yah im still too swollen to get anything I have around the house to stick...

You beat me to my post lol... My interpretation of the legislation (albeit biased) is that it would not be illegal so long as it is mounted to the dash or similar. As soon as i unclip it and hold the unit in my hand then it would be illegal.

They show something like this on the Lexus SUV commercials I have seen recently. It looks like they have the turn by turn directions (maybe more) right up on the windshield.

No I think you are on the right path here...I didtn realize you could wifi chat between two devices without have a router or something. I figured it needed internet access to use the apps. Ill have to get my brother to try one of these out on his iPhone and let me know how it works

Ontario Distracted Driving Law Actually for about the last year and a half Ontario has had a "new" distracted driving law which governs all this stuff. Namely talking on a cell phone or texting. The following excerpt is from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation website "Ontario's ban...

lol I figured...wasnt sure if that was like OMG that CI is like so BAHA lol Yah Im a loser haha

I know some people have talked about using a small whiteboard and marker to communicate with a deaf driver....this is just a 21st century way of doing that.

Like I said I being the driver wouldnt be texting at all I would be talking normally. I know where you are coming from, but in my opinion it is the lesser of two evils....major distraction by turning my head completely away from the forward position to lip read or a quick look at the unit...

Ok so for me, communicating to other passengers in my vehicle can be quite difficult especially when I am driving as I dont want to take my eyes off the road long enough to lip read the person talking to me. Quite often this results in the look of death (j/k or not really) from my fiance as she...

Yah...they were really tight and right on top of the bone where it comes closest to the skin behind the ear meaning the slightest pressure and they were digging right into the bone... Not sure why they didnt use the steri-strips, perhaps because some people are allergic (my dad is, he got...
