No hoichi, no one can see the future. But I do know that my daughter actually gave me a hug today, and said she understands now, and is sorry for wasting her whole summer playing on the computer, when she was supposed to be playing/talking with her friends and working on rehabilitation with her...

Bottesini, No, I do not hate you. ;) I'm not saying treat your kids badly, because that IS abuse. There is a big difference between discipline, and abuse. Discipline is invoked to provide focus, and proper behavior. But everyone's personality is different. Unconditional love, with no sense...

First off, she desperately wants to hear, but she is not motivated to do what is necessary to make that happen. She is an incredible student in school, and wants to be a doctor when she grows up. She has the grades to do it too. I even talked about this with both doctors, and they agree. She...

Well, after having an implant for about 5 months now, my daughter has milked this enough. The Audie said she has only been wearing it for about an hour a day, which is not enough to get it to work properly. I kept wondering why she hasn't been improving like she should be expected to. Well...

^^^ Oh C'mon, everyone's got $1,500 just lying around. :shock:

^^^ They do make those cell phone holders like the ones for the cup holders that bend like a snake so you could attach your phone, and mount it just below eye level, like at the bottom of a tv screen. If not, Google Glass?

I'm not really sure if that's "exactly" how they do it, but she kind of implicated that in not so many words. i think they don't really want to say it, for fear of people getting upset. From what I know, in general, electives are as you said, first come first served. But hey, we signed up last...

The little boxes and glasses they provide, is very expensive for the theaters to buy, and theaters where I live have no accommodations at all. So..... Just to let everyone know. I am an engineer, and I just can't help but take action when my creative thought process gets rolling. This issue...

This is a humorous story I can't help but put out here for everyone to see. It's not really a big deal, since the issue was resolved quickly, but the initial responses I got were not just a little perplexing, but almost laughable. Ok, as many of you know, my daughter is almost completely deaf...

Nah, don't sweat it. My daughter got a HA. She was like, "Cool, now I can here stuff." Then, went on her merry way. Now, what we got nervous about, was when she had to get a Cochlear Implant in her other ear. That was nerve racking from surgery to activation. Even now, I constantly get on her...

That's my point. You'd be more likely to be struck by lightning in a population of over 300,000,000 people that walk outside everyday. The statistical probability of a cochlear implant causing harm is far less than the possibility of even a cell phone, because the radio waves in an implant are...

As a Nuclear Engineer, I'll weigh in a little on this one. First, there is a statistical possibility that a cell phone could cause cancerous cells to form, since it does emit microwave radiation, that is just "barely" powerful enough to cause harm when living tissue is in direct contact for...

UPDATE: Ok, more problems with the TV streamer. I couldn't seem to get it to turn on easily. As far as I know, you're supposed to just be able to go to the remote, and select TV, and it should work, but it doesn't. I found the only way to turn on the TV streamer, is to disconnect the Audio In...

Update: Ok, my daughter had her next mapping done today, after almost 2 months. This I believe is her 4th session. Three good things have happened, and also one that had me feeling like a mean parent, but turned out for the better. 1. He remapped the whole thing. Virtually all of the...

It's good to know you are doing better with the guitar. I've noticed recently, my daughter has very thick hair, and the coil seems to fall her head quite easily. She has a number 3 magnet on there, and I'm wondering if I can get a higher one. Can they be purchased, or do need to have the Audie...

I'v become quite the fan of Costco HA's. It's no secret either. Especially since my experience with the Audie at our local Costco was very good. When my daughter needed a hearing aid, I was able to get the Costco Kirkland Signature 5.0 for her at almost half the cost of what the Audiologist...

Never mind. I figured it out. I was using the digital RCA cable that came with it from the Zone 2 out on my receiver, and plugging it into the RCA jack on the back of the Streamer. So, I grabbed a double RCA to single 3.5mm jack, and used the 3.5mm on the back of the streamer instead. Started...

Ok, this is ticking me off. I have Zone 2 audio outs going into the TV streamer, and Zone 2 is on, so the signal is going to the Streamer. Now, I hit the button on the back of the streamer, and the light flashes like it should. I turn on her Sound Processor, and the little blue light flashes...

Nah, don't worry about hijacking the thread. It's all good. In fact, any input I get on others experiences, including questions that may seem a bit off the wall, are still more than welcome, since it's basically a learning experience for all of us. On another note. It seems my daughters advance...

Quick Update: Today my daughter started finally hearing my voice a bit. It has taken a few weeks, and two mapping appts so far, but it's coming around slowly. The rumbling and beeping of sounds are now slowly turning into robotic sounding words. And to top it off, she is gaining some pitch...
