Good luck! And I look forward to your return!

Great thread gang, and thanks for that long post Dixie, gave me stuff to think about. I currently have a small mutt, not trained as a hearing dog, but he does the job really well. He lets me know if someone enters the yard or the alarm clock is going off, these sorts of things. I used to have...

Thanks JennyB! I am still in the adjustment stage, it is hard, overwhleming really. I tend to get overstimulated by sound real easy, and contiue to dislike all the back ground noise. My audi is adjusting my in the ear new digital as best a sshe can to sound digital. sorry for the thread...

No flaming from me, it is a difficult subject and there will be many opinions.

Hi, I dreampt of this last night so thought I should come back to this lonely thread and respond. I don't know that I have any of the answers you ask for, I suppose like many things in life, each case must be looked at individually. The children who get locked up and caged in their homes is...

I dunno guys, I am borderline severely moving into profoundly. I would prefer an analog as this is what I am used to, but here in Canada, ah, that was another thread!

I tried to get used to a bte digital, couldn't do it, just co8uldn't do it. this in the ear digital is more like my old analog, and I am still adjusting, haven't been able to wear it all day yet. Maybe I should paint my in the ear one, hahah. Actually, hmm, not a bad idea!

Sorry to hear about the shaky terms, but I understand. My ex-in-laws were all horrible mumblers and very inconsiderate, don't miss that. My b/f's family are a wee bit better, and my b/f's Mom has expressed interest in taking a sign course, cool eh!

I wear an in the ear model of Ha. I wish I could get it in a funky colour, this skin tone colour is so boring! I wear my hair up and down, depending on my mood. I actually prefer people see it, then there is a chance they will speak to me better.

Thanks! It is good to know I made sense to somebody!:lol:

I think there is a big difference between being alone (in presence of self) and being lonely (feeling a neediness for others). I don't mean to sound arrogant, I do understand and know the feeling of being lonely. but more so, I enjoy being alone and me-myself-and I make great company! Fame or...

I can offer no advice that hasn't already been said, but just wanted to poke my nose into this thread and give you a big pat on the shoulder for doing the best for your child. It can't be easy, but thankyou. (I grew up severely hearing impaired but undiagnosed until I was 19 years old)

It seems that every age has its challenges! I recall teething as one of the hardest I endured with my son. Glad to hear an update, and yes - she will grow out of it.

Well, my brother has a huge moustache that hangs over his top lip, sometimes I reach over and lift the damn thing up so I can see his lips. 1 X 1 with family members is doable, groups at dinner or socializing is next to impossible. My son, neice and nephew know some sign, so that helps. The...

I was brought up orally. I spell fairly well, but I pronounce words like how they are spelled, so my pronunciation is off, not my spelling.

Best wishes for a wonderful day!

Hate cleaning the bathroom. Especially with a young boy in the house. Hate dusting.

I could not give up HOPE.

My b/f lets me know when I say words wrong, there are a few of them but I can't think of what they are at the moment. Usually I say words like how they appear in writing, and miss silent letters and combos of letters and stuff like that. My speech impediment people tell me now just sounds like...

Actually, the first ASL course I took was at Mount Royal College In Calgary, Alberta and it was taught by a hearing person.
