At least they can optimize it even more for the Oculus Rift DK2.

I was wondering about this. You might even be able to take some of the skins made for cell phones and cut them to size and fit them on the aids (provided it doesn't cover any holes, switches, etc.)

Personally I don't care much for the colored aids and molds, but that might be because I didn't grow up with that option and they didn't become popular as fashion accessories until I was in my late 20's. I'm mid-30's now and I doubt I'd get anything colored. My preference is to hide them as...

I admit, I stole it from the master of comedy himself. :P

You seem to be doing that a lot lately. I'm starting to think you like the feel of your face.

I had all the games from a SE deal on Steam but donated anyway. There's some seriously quality gaming in that bundle.

That's okay. One girl called me up and said, "Come on over, nobody's home!" I went over, and she was right, nobody was home! :(

Doh, I should've known that. It makes sense. I wish I took ASL classes when I was growing up. No idea why none of the adults had me take any.

It depends on the BTE's features. Some aids have features that are designed to make social situations easier. Usually they'll minimize or filter the background noise and put more priority on foreground noise and anyone who is talking nearby. CICs are capable of this feature, but BTE can be...

Yep, just one.

If they're hearing, are they oral, as well? If so, why not just say it out loud? Like "Miss Smith" or "Mrs. Frances" or whatever your last name is.

I wish there were bats in our area. They'd have a veritable feast with all the mosquitoes and gnats around here. I'm tempted to go out and buy a truckload and release them by the house to get them started.

Very awesome of you. I didn't appreciate the hearing teachers as much as I should've when I was younger, but I definitely respect and admire them today for working with and supporting deaf/HI students. Remember that if you meet some kid who is disrespectful and rowdy in your class. That kid...

Normally I wake up at 7 a.m. but this morning I woke up at 5 and was able to catch the sunrise this morning at 6:40. Florida is famous for its spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Here is today's sunrise, overlooking my backyard and lake. Click on each for the original size. Also a panorama...

Well, that's the thing, she's 15. Most kids that age will talk to anyone on the internet. When I was 17, I was on a local BBS (yes, a BBS!) and a girl from across town wanted to meet with me at 3 a.m. in the morning after only talking for 30 minutes. We did meet up, and she was lucky I was...

Ender's Game, which I thought was just as bad as the book, incredibly enough.

Have you seen the game being made based on that movie? It's going to be really great: Videos

I was going to say, seeing this thread, I was amazed that no one knew the eCigs are actually worse than regular cigs. As crazy as that can be. Then I saw the creation date of the post. I suppose back in 2009 it was still a new, and unknown, option to real cigarettes. There are better, and...

I wonder if it's just turning it on for a second or two to get a fix and then turning it off. Or maybe instead of a GPS radio it is using bluetooth, in which case the hearing aid would have to be turned on for tracking and locating to work. I'd be interested to know how they do it. In any...

It's going to be a while before that happens. The GPS radio in smartphones suck up a TON of battery juice. I can't imagine it being in hearing aids anytime soon. Not unless someone comes up with a very tiny battery with a monstrous amount of juice to give. It'll be a nice options to have...
