I do not know how to sign personally but I want to learn. One thing that's been apparent to me is that it's not common place to automatically teach the deaf or the hearing impaired how to. In fact, when I was in high school, I volunteered to teach deaf children at a local grade school. They...

"Elective Disability." Loss of hearing and deafness is not elective. I'm super shocked that term is being used. 1. Do you have a complete loss of hearing? No - deaf in left ear, profoundly deaf in right. Have about 20% hearing in my right. 2. Were you born deaf? Yes...

I noticed you wear Oticon aides.. do those models have the in the ear mold speaker while being BTE? I'm just so curious about others who have the same issues with the sound quality difference. I have no hearing in my left ear and I'm profoundly deaf in my right ear. Also wondering about...

I'll have to ask my audi about the bed shaker thing. Thanks!

I have my own little wish list of things I wish for.. unrealistic or not! :P I would love to see people wear closed caption (cc) reader boards around their necks. Just like my setup on the tv at home. I would love it if all hearing aids were blue tooth capable - no streamers. I would...

This is so interesting. I'm wondering now if that could be part of my hearing aid debacle. It plays with sounds too much! Compressing sounds I don't want compressed, etc. So, you can set digital up to sound like analogs? I'm going in for another apt on Tuesday and would love to be armed...

Hello, I haven't posted much but I could really use some in sight from others who may have had some experience in this area. I was using an Oticon Epoq for a few years but I have had some MORE hearing loss during that time and need MORE power. My audi selected the Oticon Chili .. I didn't...

Hi, my name is Rachel. My story.. well, when I was a child, they figured me to be "slow" rather than doing the obvious, checking my hearing. Because of this, I did lose some of those earlier learning skills. Once they caught on though, I caught up with a vengeance. I'm completely deaf in my...

It's a challenge ... but, I just found that telling someone right off the bat that I was hearing impaired, wore hearing aid, blah blah blah was the key. My husband struggled with my hearing in the beginning and he admitted to having major frustration and lack of patience at times. Now we have...

Glad I found this place! Place to relate... My name is Rachel and I'm 100% deaf in left ear and 75% in right - wear aid in right. Progressive hearing loss. They considered me "slow" when I was a child as they didn't automatically run hearing tests then. Have a good career. I stuggle all...
