My old HA's were water resistant, meaning if I got caught in the rain they were ok but I couldn't really swim in them. I LOVE having my Neptune CI though, I can take that into any water for as long as I want!! Can she hear at all without her HA's? As long as she has some hearing, she should...

I drive 3 hours to my CI clinic over the one that is 45 minutes away. I've just had a better experience there and do some other doctoring at the clinic farther away. You have to remember, this is your ear and you have to do what is right for you. If you are not comfortable there, find...

Because you are not removing all the hair by pushing it aside. If you don't want suggestions, don't ask for help. These are things other CI users have had issues with and this was the solution that worked.

We were talking about cutting a very small spot of hair, that would be covered up with the rest of your hair, maybe a spot the size of a quarter at most, to improve your magnet connection.

You need to move aside as much hair as possible for your headpiece. Also, some people with very thick hair will have their stylist shave a small spot on their head over the magnet if it's really thick. Also, it's only 2 months, it could very well still be swollen. Give it more time.

Has anyone gotten any updates when that site will be back up and running after their upgrade? They said "Tuesday" before they started the upgrade.

Actually, that is not quite true. While there are some "pre-packaged" plans for smaller groups, most group plans do pick and choose coverage. The basics are the same, ACA standards now, but some companies choose not to cover somethings other companies do cover, etc. Even under DME, there are...

Are you sure about that? Most insurance companies do cover replacement parts under durable medical equipment. Often you have to pay upfront and then they reimburse you and usually there is a set time they will consider replacements, say one year for a battery, 5 years for a replacement...

Costco employs audiologists and the aids they sell are mostly rebranded aids from known manufacturers like Phonak

Don't you have a warranty on the battery?

It probably would work if I wore a hat. I really dislike wearing hats though.

I've often been frustrated with the AGC as well. I think mostly what has happened in the CI industry is that they were first there for those that had never heard and programming them was more about getting some environmental sounds and speech. Along the way, post-lingual users were CI...

Assuming this is a research study--what is the focus of the study?

I had that problem when I wore HA's. It was frustrating for sure. Since your ears are so small and the moulds are custom, any changes to that are going to make them uncomfortable. I had similar problems when I would get ear wax build up. It's so nice not having to wear anything in my ears...

No, that will not work. The headpiece will come off when you are sleeping, plus, being conscious to understand the input is important.

No one can really answer your question because one HA might be better for one person and another better for someone else. Not sure how it works in Spain, but in the US you can do a 30-60 day trial before you have to pay for your HA's. You could try each of them and see which works better for...

The more time you can give your CI work without your HA, the faster your brain will adapt. I would do the opposite, 2 or 3 hours with your HA and only if you REALLY need to use it. Some audis simply turn you on at your first activation. They want you to just get some noise in that ear. As...

IDR 80 with CV medium...it wasn't envrionmental sounds, it was a humming/buzzing sound...I think it was actually the processor noise I was hearing...not that it matters. I have an IDR of 75 and it's perfect for me. Again, see above. I'm a couple years into my CI's and have had tried many...
