Hear again, your experience with getting used to c.i. sounds almost the same as mine.I understand exactly what you are talking about when you refer to the echo.But i am nowhere near being able to use a phone or watch tv without captions.Music is good as is environmental sounds,speech is strange...

Yeah that movie is real good,i like what the guy says right at the start about how much good the corporation does for society and then cracks up laughing saying what a load of crap it was that he just said

sounds like something i read in the paper a couple of weeks ago,but what i read is different thing cos you cant buy it yet ,sony has bought the patent holder out

Well i have had my c.i. for nearly 3 months now and my audiologist said that they are " stabilising " it now.What wanted to know is how long did improvements in sound continue for other people with c.i.'s.My ear that has c.i. has been profoundly deaf for about 25 years so it took a while for the...

I once did 220 km/h in my old mazda Rx2 ,it did it easy( it was modified) ,could of gone faster too.And once i was doing 180 km/h in a 100 zone and i got pulled over by an off duty cop "how long you had you license ?" "4 years" "well you not gonna have it much longer" .He told me i would get...

I skateboard and always wear my aid,it falls off my ear in only the most extreme falls i take but otherwise it's cool.I also have a cochlear implant but never wear the speech processor skating though

I just loaned a personal audio cable from my c.i. centre.It's so good on an ipod.i'll have to pay $63 dollars for one though.Cool i'll be able to listen to music stealthly at work now!

My c.i. centre is Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne Australia.The whole c.i. thing is being paid for by the government and is not through private health insurance .

A years worth of batteries? Damn i wish i got that !!! :pissed:

Nah i didn't get audio cable with my 3g but i got accessory adapter but i'm not sure if it's for battery or plug in.I wonder how much personal audio cable costs?? Good to hear you can enjoy music,for me it has probaly increased my wellbeing more than being able to communicate better.If i...

Thanks Mayflower

Cool ,i don't care about it blocking out other sounds,all i really care about is my tunes!!! :dj:

HaHa!! I'd say a mobile phone plugged in could do more damage than mp3 plyer or walkman !!! :mrgreen:

I'm thinking of getting one.If you have got one or have used one ,whats it like? And how does it compare to listening to music through a sound system ?.Thanks :)

Most people probaly just watch MTV for the soft porn that it is :thumb:

Man i can't live my life in fear,all wrapped up in cotton wool !!!

Nobody wears helmets (unless you are skating huge half pipes). Everybody learns how to fall properly. If i was that worried about getting hurt i wouldn't skate at all.I probaly got more chance of getting head injury driving but you don't see anybody wearing helmets behind the wheel.Thanks for...

Iv'e been skating for 10 years and have never worn helmet,you don't need a reminder that you could get seriously injured ! I'll be ok, chances of area of head where c.i. is taking a impact are much lower than team contact sports.I went to see surgeon yesterday -everything is ok

Wow that is an impressive list Deaflibrarian ! Keep typing i will be forever grateful ! I told my surgeon before i decided to get c.i. that i ride a skateboard and i fall heavily (sometimes from heights) and occasionally that i hit my head -all on concrete.He said that it don't matter.I had a...

Well my audiologist told me that it makes it worse (tinnitus) in a small amount of people,and it makes it better in a equally small amount but majority stay the same . I always beleived tinnitus would be worse with c.i. as your hearing nerve is getting blasted with loud noise of poor quality...
