    Mouthpiece could let the deaf "hear" through their tongues

    Hmmmmm....... Tastes like rock music. Very strange.

    Heavy sleeper!!!

    The phone in her room is a cordless extension. I wonder if there is an app that will will flash the light on her phone really bright. I think there is. That's a good idea. I know the sonic alarm clock has an outlet for her desk light, but she doesn't like white. Shame it only comes in white.

    Heavy sleeper!!!

    Ok, my daughter is almost fully deaf, and to top it off, she is a heavy sleeper. I'm talkin' you could crash a 747 into a nitroglycerin plant, and she might actually roll over in response (typical teenager). Ok, it's not that bad, but getting her up for school is a real chore for the Mrs and...

    Gene Therapy Trials

    I just happened on this video on YouTube, and felt it worthy of posting on here for all of you to see.. I heard Kansas University was doing these trials soon, but did not know when. I've been following this research for years, and apparently the first human trial has now occurred, and it will be...

    I know I asked about the TV streamer earlier, but wanted to know something a little more general concerning the blue tooth options for using cell phones, etc. I know for a long time, the blue tooth programming options weren't available pending FDA approval, but I read recently they were...

    Getting hearing aids

    Hey there from Port Orchard Washington. I do not have hearing loss, but my daughter does. She plays the piano, and wants to be a doctor someday (an MD of sorts). When she lost her hearing, it was devastating. She too, has very small and sensitive ears/ear canals. She has had to take quite a...

    I'll be keeping an eye on this thread vicariously, until you get that TV streamer. I'm really interested to see how well it works.

    Ok, I might as well ask some more. Why the heck not? It seems very few people have reviewed the Nucleus 6 on the web (since it's new), so you're my guinea pig for info. lol Did you get a crate full of accessories? like the TV streamer? Or the mini clip-on microphone? Have these items even been...

    You can hear the mini fans in your laptop? That's really impressive, because those are usually very quiet. And don't be disappointed, laptop speakers sound bad, period. I'm surprised you're doing so well, so quickly. It's only been what? A few weeks? Wow!!! I have so many questions, but...

    I wanted to clarify something. Did you say you got the N6 processor? If so, are you able to enjoy music at all, without it sounding like buzzing and hissing noises? I only ask, because my daughter plays piano, but won't touch it since she lost her hearnig. The hearing aid just isn't good...

    Blue Tooth question for CI's & HA's.

    Right now she has NOTHING, other than a loaner HA from the Audiologist. We are waiting for the insurance company to review her case to cover the implant. We are wanting to get her the N6 processor if possible, because it is the best quality sounding processor available through the Cochlear...

    Blue Tooth question for CI's & HA's.

    Ok, so the transmission from the TV transmitter and the Unite microphone are probably proprietary FM then? If that's the case, then can I use the Unite microphone with the Linx HA, and N6 CI together, without needing an extra item clipped to her shirt when using it? I ask this, because...

    Your favorite movie scene?

    All those moments will be lost, in time.... like tears, in rain.

    Blue Tooth question for CI's & HA's.

    Starkey also has some new direct link blue tooth HA's. Will these also work and pair with blue tooth used in N6? What I get concerned with, is possible lag between the two different types of devices which could cause them to be audibly out of synch with each other, since one is a cochlear...

    Taking my daughter to IMAX???

    It is a separate movie done by Christopher Nolan. What I want to know, is whether or not it would be worth taking my daughter to see this with a semi-useful HA? I guess I'm just hoping the incredible visuals of IMAX may overtake the need for understanding every word spoken in the film...

    Taking my daughter to IMAX???

    I have a B-day coming up next week, and the wife asked me what I want for my B-day. I told her I'd love to go see the Sunday matinee for "Interstellar" in IMAX. Ok, the hard part is. I know my kids will want to come along, but my one daughter is profoundly deaf, and has a semi-useful loaner...

    Blue Tooth question for CI's & HA's.

    Ok, this is kind of an odd question, because it always seemed to be on the back burner for me, since I'm more concerned with my daughter getting the treatment she needs to begin with, but here goes. She will be getting a Nucleus 6 implant soon. Most likely in the new year. Hopefully sooner...

    Cochlear Insurance question

    Yes, I do want to know how much I will be responsible for. That's for certain. Thanks.

    Cochlear Insurance question

    ^^^ Yes, I am assuming the same. I called my insurance and asked about HA and CI coverage. Of course, all I got was the standard agent on the phone who says my policy normally does not cover it, as stated in the policy. My assumption is as you said above. After her appointment yesterday, the...

    Cochlear Insurance question

    Yes, I asked about a high power HA for the left, so when we did the audiogram, he tuned his machine to work like a high power HA at various frequencies needed. At 80db, she had only 30% word recognition, and at 90db only 40% max. We are getting her a high power HA for temporary use while they do...
