I'm trying to catch up with reading, 15 minutes wow. I think my activation was around 2 hours. I's sure it took long because of the bilateral activation. I will say now my mapping is around 15 minutes. It does not take long since I know what I want in mapping and it works well. Don't be...

My favorite sounds are children laughing and giggling. Sounds that bother me are: 1. Loud noises in action movies 2. Toliets flushing 3. The ac and the dishwasher I must say I love just being about to hear sounds I have either never heard before or slowly lost over time. The greatest...

I teach in a building that is not part of our school it is a modular building. To me it looks like a metal storage shed or a trailer. It has sliding and wood paneling inside. It is not very comfortable, cold in the weather and hot in the spring. I have to walk outside to pick up my students...

I spent most the year trying to find out where the birds are. I am really amazed as how loud and "noisy" birds can be. I teach in a portable and I hear them all spring long through the walls(never before CIs). At first it was a sense of aw.....I hear the birds....then it went to.....do they...

yes I can hear the birds sign. I haven't heard them since I was about 11 or 12.

What brand do you have? With advanced bionics, there are so many different ways to fix a mapping. You might need some electrons turned off or a setting lowered. You need to communicate with your audie. If you still are not getting more comfort, then ask for an audie from the company to come...

My ten year old daughter already had her first shot. She goes back on the 17th of December for her 2nd shot. After a lot of research and knowledge of family history, I decided to have this set of shots for her. After reading all the debate, I still agree with my decision. Oh and my insurance...

By the way thank you for your comments. Miss Katt is fortunate.

I just got done reading all this post about how terrible my posting was. I expressed my opinion after reading this post. If someone hates CIs then why seek out the CI section and post? If this poster has a right to express her comments, then I do as well. As for the others who jump on the...

disagree learning to speak and being deaf is not easy. Development of phonenic awareness and phonic skills is very difficult.

What is wrong with voice too. Hey, I am a deaf individual, why should you tell me that I must learn sign. I would never tell you, you must learn to speak or lipread. My choice and my parents choice, it is wrong for you to tell them they must learn sign. There are many reasons and unless you...

That's okay it is your opinion too. As a bilateral CI user, if someone said this to me, I would be upset. I see myself as deaf first, CI second. Each of us deaf individual have different opinions on modes of communications. Why I respect ASL, my primary form of communications is oral and...

Pictures look good. Be careful going back home.

I am interested in how the two different CI would work. I know as a bilateral, my ears work together and one is not complete without the other one on. I look forward to this development. Keep us informed.

I said she was entitled to her opinion. The I wish they would take out their CIs - come on - It is just as wrong for a person with CIs to say I wish he would get a CI.

I have bilateral cochlear implants and love them. If you hate CIs don't post in the CI section. You have your opinion and I disagree with yours. this is not meant to flame, I was taken back by your posting. Why should the deaf children take off their CIs just because you dislike them? That is...

I know what you mean. Now I have to stay with my job because I don't believe I would be able to get another insurance because of the CIs. So a downside.

I have very good health insurance. I'm a teacher. My insurance has a max of 1300 out of pocket expense. Once I reach that amount, my insurance pays 100% of remaining cost. Since I had surgery in July, my insurance paid 100% of all cost after my 957, for the remainder of the year. or any family...

It is very exciting to read about Miss Katt activation. I know the joys of a new experience. It is amazing that children love the simple things like banging on the piano and adults want the complex music sounds. ( I do). One key my audie gave me, they can focus on individual sounds in mapping. I...

I paid $957 for bilateral cochlear implant surgery. It was worth every penny.
