    Which CI is the BEST?

    My Razr is M3 and I get LOTS of buzzing with it. I read the manual and it said the T Ratings are the best. I still shouldn't be getting this kind of interference with mine, I suppose, but I do.

    Which CI is the BEST?

    Does that depend on the phone? I mean with a hearing aid, that is. i used to have an LG and it was so loud and clear. I upgraded to a Razr and it does the buzzing so bad I can't hear out of it either. I looked it up and seen it goes by 'T-Ratings' and 'M-Ratings' It says T3 or T4 meet FCC...

    Which CI is the BEST?

    wow, this is exactly what i needed to know! You guys really know your stuff and I knew you'd explain it in plain English, without all the hyped up marketing strategies! I decided I'm going with the Freedom unless my surgeon has a reason why I should go with something else. Thank you sooooo...

    Siemens Pure 500 question.

    I don't have that type of HA but I've had many different types and I've only had to have them adjusted as my hearing loss progressed. Almost everytime that happened though, the aid that I had was no longer capable of handling the new hearing loss and I had to get a new stronger one. Unless...

    Which CI is the BEST?

    Today seen my CI Audi for the final evaluation and I'm in there! Yay! I'm so excited! But now the big question is, which one should I get? They gave me a huge packet with info for Nucleus Freedom, Med El and Advanced Bionics Harmony. They all look amazing, I'm stuck... So I figured I'd...

    Have any of you guys bought a HA off fleaBay?

    The ebay guy will adjust it to your needs, it will just be an inconvenience to have to keep shipping it back and forth. Initially they will program it for you after faxing them your audiogram. But after that, if you need it tweaked you're on your own unless you need a repair. In which case...

    Have any of you guys bought a HA off fleaBay?

    Well, I bought a cheap one on ebay a couple years ago ($150) and got a killer deal. It still works just fine, I just prefer to use the one I got from my insurance as it's a more powerful aid. However, that's a lot of money, and you're right, it's risky. Maybe you can check with the BBB or do...

    Open House

    Ughhh.. I feel terrible. My daughter wanted me to go to open house last night and I outright refused. Last year was a nightmare. The school was packed full of parents, teachers and students and I couldn't hear a word anyone said to me. I had a full blown panic attack and left in tears...

    going to concerts

    I know what you mean. My kids and I went to see Linkin Park a couple weeks ago. As much as I love their music and know all their songs, it took me a minute to figure out which song they were singing, when I did catch on it was almost like it was more memory than hearing.. does that make...

    Batteries: Cost vs Life

    Exactly, it depends on how powerful your HA is, how long you keep it on, etc. I use the big 675 batteries and one lasts me 4-6 days. I haven't noticed much difference in brands, but I tend to go with Rayovac or Energizer, they're cheaper. If you leave them on when you go to bed then that will...

    inexpensive bte for a newbie

    I bought one off ebay a couple years ago when I was really desperate. It actually wasn't too bad for $150. I did have to take it to my audi and have her adjust it for me though... lotsa feedback, but she fixed that. She was shocked and told me I got a really good deal. I still have it...
