Thank you, I've always relied on lip-reading, so I always make sure to let someone know to face me when talking. As for battery, I always carry them with me for my HA, just have to carry a little more tho lol. Stacie

Thanks, I can't even feel my BTE HA, so that's great to hear. My ativation date is set for June 21. :)

I've been told that, and they also told me since I speak very good, it will also help. I hope I do great with it! I'll let you know lol. Thanks Stacie

I'm already used the BTE, tried the Freedom on too and felt really comfy. Stacie

No deaf community at all. Thanks for the luck Stacie

I agree with you, my parents did a wonderful job with me by teaching me how to speak. I love how my parents works together so I can achieved the best I can with speaking. I don't regret it one bit and to me that's the best thing that's happened to me.

I read a lot of your posts about your little girl and very happy that things are going great for her. Thanks Stacie

Thank you, I will be sure to ask questions. My expectation is low and even looking forward to hear my family and friends sound mechanical, so I can have my own little jokes lol. I researched everything I could on CI, the pros and the cons. Hopefully I have more pros. What kind of CI you have...

I wish you the best of luck with yours and be sure to let me know how yours went! I'm nervous and excited, and sure you are, too. lol Thanks Stacie

Thanks everyone, I will keep it updated and will list all the pros and cons lol. I'm even going to make scrapbook of it and videos. I do have a question......with the headpeice, can you feel it or don't even noticed it's there? Thanks Stacie

Hi, all I wanted to start a thread as like a journal for all to read and give me tips and support. My surgery is set for May 24, 06 and it's getting closer everyday. I have progressive hearing loss since I was 2 and worn HA in my left ear for 25 years. I have no residual hearing in my...

I agree with you, HA are very costly and every insurance should cover the cost of those who really need it. And the battery! I went a whole year without HA until I found better insurance to pay for it, never again want to go without sound. I like it too much :) I'm getting CI soon, surgery not...

Very happy for you and your family. Best of luck as it keep improving.

I having CI soon and thank you for the luck. But don't you waste one minute worrying about me and if I post thread about it, be respectful to me and I will you. You also have a good day too.

I do have realistic expectations about the CI. I do my best to make my family and friends understand as much as possible about CI, that it wan't going to "poof" make me understand right off the bat. The implant doc said I was a good canidate, b/c I speak very well. Hope he's right! Thanks for...

I go this Friday to find out the result of the ct scan. If it's all good in the ear they want to do, then it's set for the 24th of this month. I hope, I hope, I hope! You like your Freedom?

I accept myself as HOH, always have and always will. When I get my CI, I'm not dropping the deaf culture, I've never been part of it. I love myself and I love to hear sounds, whatever they made be, love to talk and listen to others. Just because someone opted to get a CI does not mean they don't...
