A good friend of mine developed late onset schizophrenia, early 30's I think it was. Sorry to hear of your friend, mental illness sucks. As echoed throughout this thread, I doubt it was caused by the CI implant.

I get the itchy ear thing too. My ear wax is kinda clear and thin and a dries crusty. If I scrape it off, it often leaves me ear sore, and itchier than it was before. I have found that abit of polysporin on a q-tip to rub in my canal at night helps alot.

Every night I look forward to taking my HA out, ah - silence. Easier to meditate. Never sleep or nap with them in.

I wear one HA, should be wearing two (both ears are close to the same). I am told if I were to wear two then I would have better sound direction ability. As it is, I am horrible at it, and worse at guessing. It usually sounds like it is coming from the opposite direction than it is.

Hey, I am sorry to hear you were denied. A big hug sent your way.

I figure if I live everyday as if it were my last, I will have no regrets. You just never know when your time here is up. My sister was at her peak health wise, she died of a brain anyurism while teaching a exercise class.

Plans for the summer? Spending as much time outside as I can, including late night bon fires, lazy picnics, water fights with the neighborhood kids,meditating in the garden,sun and moon bathing, and star gazing. I get one week a year off with no work and no kid....my man and I are going to...

Wow. Good on her for allowing herself to forgive.

I am laughing so hard, all these things posted have happened to me. Lynch the mumblers and rude hearies! Ha ha.

Good comeback, I am typically pretty polite, but I have my days! On the bright side of things, at least I still look young enough to get this comment, haha!:lol:

Well, I had to try, haha. Cheers!

Ok, how about this one then, "but you are too young to be deaf"!

Hi! I am curious, what parts of the digital aid wearing make you 'iffy'. And, do you have any tips or advice? Thanks for posting.:ty:

Hi, your post really hits home with me, I am currently slowly, very slowly adjusting to digital aids after wearing analog for 24 years. I am finding that if I am tired the overstimulation I am experiencing with the new digital aids is intolerable. I wear them for short amounts of time each...

Yup, gets frustrating at times, especially when they tell you to turn it up or get a new HA. "Well you speak so well" gets annoying too.

I think an open marriage would require huge amounts of communication and emotional maturity. I don't like the idea for myself, but friends of mine have an open marriage, and at times it does cause problems for them, they seem to work through it. At one point the woman started falling in love...

That is a strange one, not quite funny, but almost. Weird people everywhere.

I don't know, I can't possibly think or imagine all the implications of taking it. I can't think of a good reason why I would be such a benefit to people or Mother Earth that I should prolong my life expectancy. If given the choice this minute I would decline. Death is not to be feared, just...

I only know the word bullsh*t in sign, maybe one of you can teach a class of us!

I disagree. She agreed to become Christian / follow his ways, now she has realized that may have been a bad decision on her part. One that she cannot live up to, it is not her truth. I would suggest counselling.
