Yep. I agree. :hug:

The dangers of vaping "I don't know what it is." from China are acknowledged. That is why "made in the USA" (or UK) is very important. I have three e-cig batteries charging on a USB hub plugged into a two prong. Yeah, it is growing faster than studies can be done on it. It is purely...

I can't get nicotine in local stores, but online it is available. "Vaping" has become an obsession for many. Check out these people: E-Cigarette Forum And this thread: anyone at 0% nicotine and still vaping?

I recently made a half-hearted attempt to cut back on smoking, using an e-cigarette. One thing lead to another, and I realized that my smoking was contributing to progressive loss. Dr. congratulated me, and told me that I should switch to 0mg. He put me on a short course of prednisone, and...

If you read that story and start thinking you are confused, don't worry. It is the couple who are confused. I think anyone in a society obsessed with sex and gender will be confused at times, but that case is just beyond bizarre.

Your persistence in seeking satisfaction awes me, Naida. And has motivated me to get a higher level of satisfaction and comfort with my hearing loss.

There are also family rights issues. My son has been in jail a number of times, with the glass window and telephone. The telephones are clunky old things, with no t-coil. There is only one cubicle with a door, and some of the families are NOISY! It took a loud hissy-fit in the waiting room to...

Ladysolitary-- I am doing the e-cig at 0mg. It really works, except I am carrying that cig in my left hand and taking a gulp every five minutes-- much more than a real cig. I have a few nicotine cartridges, but getting to hate that bite at the back of my throat from the nicotine. It does...

Your excitement and joy shows with every word!! :dj: :D Congratulations!!

The same hearing people who reject Deaf culture are also going to be judgmental about tats. A double whammy when they are of the "suit" mentality. Don't do it. A long sleeve black shirt is going to get boring after a while if you are of the tat mentality.

That is called feedback. It is only abnormal if you don't like it. :D I recently got mine changed so that I have to try really hard to get feedback. If you do this, you might get some occlusion, it is all a matter of personal preference.

That is what it looks like- as if there are no alternatives. There is nothing about any effort to teach sign or lipreading as his hearing deteriorated. Counting years, it was one year between HA's not helping and CI. It looks like he quit sports as part of the emotional reaction to his hearing...

My father was a beekeeper, and even back then local honey was known to address the root cause of pollen-borne allergies. The process of desensitization, through broken-down pollen particles.

He may be absorbing more receptively, than you realize. Remember that receptive language skills develop before expressive.

I am wondering what your audiogram looks like. Maybe you can resolve that problem. If you have a t-coil in your HA's, do you use it? Audis are notorious for not educating their clients. You could also check with a temporary help agency-- sometimes they have jobs like culling files, filing...

:laugh2: Paper does have a future!! :D Actually, the proper literal translation for le papier ne sera jamais mort is "paper will never die."

This has buttons. Yeah, my son had one with touchscreen, and it did not work well. I ended up getting him a special pointer-- I am amazed how long he had it before he lost it. I think I will start using both thumbnails. Closer to ten fingers. Might switch to predictive text.

I would!!! :laugh2:

You are hereby delegated to invent the sign for your favorite word. :giggle:

I just got a Samsung Freeform. I use my thumbnail for typing. My carrier is US Cellular. More people prefer to text to me nowadays. It is rated m4 and t4. Picks up a weak signal better than previous phone. Previous phone I had had for years, and they recommended it at the time for HoH...
