Holy crap, I need to log in more often! It's been a long time since I've been back! I would love to go, but I would be terrified of going alone, being that I don't know anyone and have no one around here that'd be interested in going. Plus, being that it's March 7th already, I'd have to see if...

I am about to go on Clomid whenever I start my next cycle if I didn't get pregnant on my own this month. I am irregular & while I do get my monthly now thanks to being on birth control pills for 3 months only to help regulate it. It did it's job but my visits still comes late so I have a hard...

It is different for everyone. I got mine when my girls were about 11 months old, then skipped the 12th month, then get it again at 13 months. Skipped the 14th & 15th with my oldest, turns out I found out I was pregnant with my youngest when my oldest was just about to be 16 months old. With...

I think my Mom said that my 1st spoken word was 'mama' then my 1st signed word when teachers came to my house to work with me on learning signs before i started school was 'apple' :) As for my two daughters, both learned 'mama' then 'ily' when their hands were able to do it well. Those two...

I still have two of my old ones somewhere in my room. I'm not even sure what I should be doing with them. I was going to give it to my one hearing best friend, who had a thing for my hearing aids as a joke and tell her "Here, you can have 'em, as I no longer need 'em" and see her reaction. But...

Hi Pinky. Getting a CI doesn't really have anything to do with improving one's english grammars. There are plenty of Deaf people, many who has hearing aids, many who ha Cochlear Implants, and many who doesn't wear HA's or CI's and their English grammar skills are good. It depends on the...

R2D2: I was able to hear storms before with hearing aids and wondered the same thing you did. Now, I know exactly why, as they sound so extremely close especially right overhead like you said. I love storms even more now! I have always loved storms even as a child, but now I look forward to the...

Nope, I've been wearing hearing aids since I was a baby, and haven't ever been shy about it. It actually makes more sense when people see 'em knowing that my Deafness is why I don't always pronouce the hard-to-say words correctly. :)

Not always. I had gone to Miracle Ear for a few years before going the CI route. The one audi I saw for about 6 yrs was wonderful. He never pushed me about anything, always understood and was supportive of whatever decisions I made. I obivously no longer go there, being a CI'er. I shall stop...

Quick CI moment during a very sad time in my life. Friday June 13th, I found out that one of my childhood best friends died. Her funeral was Saturday the 21st. My CI moment was during the funeral when my Aunt's pastor came in to talk about my friend. I was sitting in the middle row, so like...

Ha, I hated Beltone! I used to always stick my tongue at the Beltone lady. :P Then again, I was just a little girl who was pissed at the time how I had to keep going back over and over and over regarding countless problems with earmolds & hearing aids.

Some of the Audi I had growing up sucked ass! But the Audi last year & this year was the best I've ever had! Sadly, she's moving to FL so all you FL CI''ers are going to be very lucky to have her! :P I met my new Audi today and so far she seems great. :)

I thought I replied a long time ago to this, but guess I forgot. I am a bilateral CI'er, as in I have two CI's. :)

Hey there. My surgery was 5/8 and I'm still experiencing the tasteless crap. I'm very annoyed. Certain foods like p'zones [from Pizza Hut, which I love, but can't taste very well, and it leaves a strange feeling in my mouth for awhile. . . kinda like when I eat something spicy. That's how it is...

Sorryt o hear that your CI is broken. I'd be sooo heartbroken if my CI were to someday break and warranty was up!!! But my husband has assured me that we'd figure things out for me to get my replacement no matter what. Whew! Anyways, what you're hearing, those various noises in your head is...

Just like as the others said, sounds like you need a new map session with your audi. Tell your audi everything you told us here! S/he will be able to help fix that! And I'd probably hold off on listening to heavy metal for a bit til you've seen your audi and got your new map. Good luck! :)

Hi. I've recently became a bilateral CI'er. I was implanted with my 1st CI in May '07. Activated in June '07. I loved it. I love having a CI and my experience as a CI'er has been awesome so I decided to go thru the whole journey again and get my 2nd one which I had just gotten earlier...

vallee: This is great that you posted that, it reminded me of last year when I was newly activated and went up north to my in laws' cottage for the 1st/2nd time as they had just offically brought it the day I was activated. Anyways, I noticed that I was hearing something but figure out wtf it...

2nd CI activation! Hi everyone. I got activated today by my favorite audi, who is sadly moving to FL. So those of you in FL will be receiving a wonderful audi!! :) Anyways, all I have to say is WHOA! This activation is soooo different from my 1st CI's activation. First off, when they...

Ha, my ears used to itch at times when I wore HA's. That's another big bonus for me having CI's and not having to deal with itchy ears and sucky earmolds again! :)
