I was also bullied back in elementary and middle school. Students had no idea how to deal with me so they just treated me like snot. I remember a time in high school I was wearing the FM Trainer, which apparently, if you don't know what exactly it is, also looks like a tape player with...

I don't, much at all. They don't offer me much benefit. My hearing aids actually just seem to friggin amplify every HIGH pitch sound there is (without them I hear all low pitch-which I prefer), and within 4 hours of wearing them, I have the worst head ache and feel like I may as well have ---i...

Because I like silence the most. But i can only savior it when I'm alone. And I am completely socially withdrawn, so my next step is to get the cochlear, which is going to improve my hearing by 60%, at least. Point being, in order for me to finally get on WITH my life and HAVE a life outside of...

My back and arms.

Right now I do C) just use headphones. I'd use a stereo, but the quality isn't as clear as it is when I wear headphones.

I only wear my hearing aids when I will be in some sort of "important" public situation. If I'm going to be at a meeting, a doctors appointment, or school situation. I really stopped wearing them a lot since I switched to online classes 4 years ago. I probably only put my hearing aids in several...

Exactly what I've gone through. Took ASL classes, but didn't really get me past the basics or anything. No one i'm surrounded with uses fluent ASL either- instead, it's a handful of teenagers who believe taking ASL courses are 'cool.' (something I"ll never really understand why the hearing world...

I've been HOH pretty much my whole life. I've never been clinically diagnosed with actual depression, but somewhere in my teens (around 17 yrs old), I was really depressed for about a year- not sure it was HOH related or just because i hated the people I was around 5 days a week. However, I did...

lol, I feel ya. Finding a hearing impaired occupation is ridiculous though. I'm good at typing, so I've tried getting data entry type jobs, but they all, also, want someone who can use the phones. Fail. However, unlike you, I'm in the process of getting a cochlear implant so I can have 'more' of...

Agreed. I did more research over the past hour and just read the same comparison chart... completely elaborated and answered all my questions. Definitely did not see much of an improvement between the Freedom and Nucleus on that chart either- sad. I'm definitely going for the AB. Plus, there's...

Ok, so, this friday, I am to specify which cochlear I want. My choices are between the AB's Harmony HiResolution, Med-El's Maestro, and the Nucleus 5. I have read all the 3 booklets I was given, made notes to compare, gots questions for my doctor, but still, I need some insight from people...

Hi, My name is Nichole and recently just turned 25 years old. I've had a gradually progressing sensori-neural hearing loss since I was a kid (cause unknown). One ear is profound, the other is severe, and I'm now going through the process to get the cochlear implant. (Currently have my CAT/MRI...
