I share your anger and frustration at Campbell's audist attitude -- but it was a a teachable moment. For that reason I think Ms. Mathers response was fantastic. I'm sure a lot of people learned from her response. The whole world could use more politicians like Ms. Mathers. We need...

:hmm: Locochicko, if that is what your boyfriend is thinking, than perhaps it would be easier for him to walk away whenever a shopping assistant comes by to talk. I do think that its important that he give your concerns more importance than what he thinks a passerby might be thinking -- no...

Happy Birthday Sunny! Stay out of trouble! :P

Congratulations! That is great news! Glad your mom was able to come in to help and I hope you are able to talk with your husband very soon.

Arsenic in our food supply? How did that ever happen?! That got my attention! I found an interesting article at Mother Jones that gives some good background info. It looks like originally, back in the 1940s, everyone thought that arsenic added to chicken feed in it's organic form would be...

I'm not interested in fighting but I think this was an overaction to someone just asking for a link. The reason I'm posting is because from what I've seen this is the kind of post that will shut down the thread for EVERYONE. If you don't want to provide a link, just don't. No biggie...

That paragraph at the Open University’s web site was very terse. The last sentence in the paragraph did say that the cochlea was affected: I don’t think it was a typo, or that the author was confused. There are many web sites and articles that support that description of how the...

Interesting. I use to work with a man who was an opera singer and who use to work in the 2nd or 3rd tier circuits or the C and D houses. (Not being an opera buff, I’m not sure I expressed that correctly -- but hopefully the idea is coming across. :) ) When he started to loose his hearing he...

:laugh2: I highly doubt that! But I do agree that this is cool info. I've read that the ear/brain functions and interfaces are among the most complicated ones in the human body -- and I believe it! :) Great web site. I’m sort of familiar with the web master who put that site...

I find neurobiology fascinating and I wish I knew more about it. If I woke up tomorrow and was 18 again, I would explore going into that area. So, if I can rephrase part of your post to make sure that I understand it -- the human brain is efficient and if it can’t use a piece of brain real...

Botts, thanks for finding another source. Jillio, the posts I already made explains that the auditory pathways work both ways, that is, the auditory pathways are both afferent and efferent. I'll repost what I already posted as I don't have time to dig up more sources now. Auditory...

My post were influenced by another issue. In general, when someone has an uncommon physical issue, what can they do to make sure that they have received a satisfactory diagnosis and good advice? In the USA, in this day and age and under most existing insurance plans, I think its unlikely...

Joyce, I think we are on the same page. :) I'm glad you were able to find someone who could diagnose what your symptoms mean. I hope she gave you suggestions on how you can make it easier to hear and listen in various situations, and ideas on how to find more suggestions -- e.g. web sites...

I sincerely believe that you misread the links.

I'm not a parent, but would putting vinegar on the pacifier cause an unrecoverable trauma?

I think tinnitus and fluctuations in hearing are considered completely separate symptoms.

Well you are probably not going to like my initial reaction, but I'll share it with you anyway. I suspect that if you didn't have electrode tests that it's not 100% conclusive that you have CAPD and that your audiologist can't be 100% certain where the areas responsible for the CAPD are...

Since you have had CAPD for a long time, you may not have realized how much you have depended upon lipreading and context. I know in my case I didn't really understood how well hearing people heard until my 20s. I certainly understood that they heard better than me, but I didn't realize...

Joyce I'm just curious and you seem very open so I hope you won't mind the question. This web site said that in diagnosing CAPD an audiologist will include these tests: Did you happen to get those group of tests? Would you happen to know if the tests are specific enough that it can...
