Have you tried CARE Credit? It is a great way to get hearing aids without paying for them upfront. There are also state funds that you can look into that may pay for them in full to keep you employed. Where are you located?

So I paid my ENT and audiologist a visit today. My audiologist is bringing in some Phonak Nidias for me to try out. She says that I might like them better than the ReSound Veros that I just got 2 weeks ago. My ENT is suggesting that I get a cochlear implant in the upcoming months. Much to...

That is so cool. I love bully breeds! I rescued both of my boys as well. I got Gravano at 8 weeks old and Luciano at 12 weeks. I do a lot of donating with several of the rescue groups in my area.

I am on Facebook and Twitter. Believe it or not, I have never used Skype. I might be willing to give it a shot though.

Welcome, Erick. I will try to be of assistance in giving feedback. At the moment, I am currently researching apps that would act as a stenographer for meetings. I am hard of hearing and have difficulties catching everything in my meetings. I was in hopes of utilizing a laptop with a...

Hell is much safer! :-)

"Murder Mitten" is a term used by a lot of metro Detroiters due to our glorious crime statistics. I just added the "Hell" for sarcasm's sake. :lol:

I agree with your suggestion. Lately, what I have been doing is using the search function with key words. For example: Michigan / Detroit / Murder Mitten / Hell I have had some luck so you might want to give it a shot.

How about them Cowboys, Ronnie? :thumbd:

I picked the ReSound Verlros over the Oticon Chilis because the ReSounds had just come out a few years ago with some technological advancements. I am hoping I made the right choice. :shock: As for the pitties, YES! I have two boys! Gravano is almost 5 years old and Luciano is coming up on 7...

I might be interested, Ashli. How would the interview be conducted? Where are you located?

Thanks, Smithtr! Looking forward to getting to know everyone. :ty:

Good morning, Dogmom. How does he like the Resounds? Any issues with them at all? My engineering background is more mechanical, but I take stabs at everything for the most part. I love learning new things.

Good morning, Erika. I do know enough ASL to get me by. Eight of my aunts and uncles were born completely deaf , but they across the state and I have no friends that are deaf or hard of hearing so I don't use my ASL at all. I could definitely improve and I am motivated to do so. Oh, and...

Thanks, Sarfarigirl! It has been 8 years since I have had new hearing aids, so I am struggling a little with these Veros. I am hearing new things and I believe I am not hearing some things as well. I have a few more weeks to determine whether or not I should return them. :|

Welcome, Wolfgirl. Congrats on graduating soon. Be proud! It was tough, but I actually miss my old college days.

I just shot him a "Welcome" on his introduction. He is always welcome to hit me up on AllDeaf when he likes. I am always within reach of my cellphone.

Welcome, Ronnie.

I actually am about an hour away from Flint, MI. I actually played against MSD in my High School years in Soccer, Basketball, etc. I am trying to find a network or community a little closer to me so that there is a convenience factor of not having to drive too far after working long hours. I...
