jackiesolorzano: That's so freakin' cute when your son told you that. :)

contradica: Sounds are pretty much normal. There are still some things that sounds a bit off and makes me giggles when I hear 'em cause it's funny. :) I did go for my 2nd MAP today and the Audi was just so impressed. She kept repeating "Wow, you're doing incredible!" "You're doing...

jag: Yep, when I was first activated, my HA told me what I was actually hearing because everything sounded sooo odd from the CI. lol. Now I can hear solely on CI but I prefer having both on for now. I'm sure that will change in the months/years to come and maybe I'll go bilateral! Who knows...

Good luck, SuziMaria! Keep us updated!

Plus, another good reason to have this thread - is for those of us that keeps a blog about our CI journey. Maybe one day we're so busy that we just didn't blog about it and could easily come here and post those CI moments we want to share. We could look back later and see what we wrote eariler...

Awesome idea, Neecy! This is exactly what I wanted. :)

When I had HA's and had colds, it'd seem like I could barely hear. Ever since being activated [2 wks as of today!] I hadn't gotten sick but had lost my voice for nearly a week. I'll have to pay close attention to see if I'm like yall, not hearing well when sick with HA but hearing just the...

Hear Again: That's interesting. :) Had we lived near each other, I would be happy to have been around you as often as I could and helped tell you what you're hearing. You seem like a wonderful person to know and I hope we develop a friendship on here. :) I already PM'd you :)

Hear Again: I am the same, I watch TV and I'm able to follow along, despite the captions still being on. I may miss a word here or there but for simple shows like Hannah Montana, The Suite of Zack and Cody, That's So Raven [what my girls likes to watch] I normally don't watch but when I sat down...

Had another awesome CI moment yesterday at the Spa that my cousin took all her bridesmaids to. I decided on getting a massage, since it's my 1st one, ever. The girl told me that after I get undressed and get in the table thing with the blankets covering me, she'll knock on the door before she...

set2: Yep, I'm still wearing my HA in the unimplanted ear. At this point I must have both on or it feels like I can't hear [when in reality I can. but I seem to hear 10x better when both is on, make sense?] Cloggy: That's awesome! Everyone: Thank you!

I am loving these "CI moments"!!! While I have heard just about everything before with my HA's. I can't believe how much more I hear. And am still amazed with all the CI moments I had. Today, I went to my salon & was happy when I realized I could hear the owner ask me how I was doing and...

Hear Again: At least you're able to get the Ambien CR. I have tried a few times when my Tinnitus were super bad and it helped. But, my Dr. doesn't believe in prescribing anything like that so that sucks ass for me. Esp the last three nights, I have not gotten much sleep. :( It is hard being an...

Hear Again: I will be looking into it, thanks! I think I will prefer the braclet over the dogtag or pendants & whatever else is out there. I'll just have to get used to it, that's all. Just like when I first started wearing my ring the day I got married. Felt sooo weird for a few wks then it...

Hear Again: That makes perfect sense of why deafblind children and adults have trouble sleeping at night. I don't know why I didn't think of it before but yeah, totally make sense! Do you also experience problem sleeping? Have you taken Melation [spelling?] before? I have but 'cause I have...

Tami Sam: Years ago, while I was preggers with my oldest. I joined several messages board forums on AOL & email loops that were for young Moms. My husband has always known of this so when I tell him something about one of the ladies from the group, like when someone had their baby, or that...

Damnit. I don't watch Dr. Phil so I missed this. :/ That sucks 'cause I have read about the Deafblind triplets girls before and have been curious as to their progress. I read an articile about them somewhere on the net. They explained How much all 3 girls sees & their language developement &...

Deafdyke: I have gotten the "Oh, I'm so sorry. I'll pray for you!" Or "Oh you poor thing, I'll say a prayer for you, is that okay, sweetie?" Uhh? Like I'm gonna stop them from praying? [shakes head] I just tell them "Uh thx but I'm fine, I'm happy and doing well, what IS there to be sorry...

To those that responded about my Asthma/EMS experience, thank you!!! About medic alert id's, my Mom wants me to get one badly but uh what if it just says "Asthma, Deaf, Cochlear Implant [right ear] and Dr. doesn't realize that I cannot have a MRI? I'm scared that someone will end up still...

Tami Sam: I was also born a night owl too! My mom said that I also didn't sleep much due to my meds. I slept about 6 hrs every night. She hated it. lol. I love my sleep but stupid insomnia sucks!!! I warn you- this is long. I have Asthma. I've had it since birth. Been hospitalized many...
