That would be helpful during my DDS appts!

Reading this thread is making me more anxious to get activated. I am so curious as to wheter if my music taste will change or if I will still love music just as much or what?! Hurry up June 21st!!! :]

I was never embarrassed about the whistling. I'd just simply explain if someone looks at me and lets me know that it's whistling or asks me why it is doing so. Now a days it hardly ever whistles unless I'm about due for a new ear mold, one sign of when I need to get it replaced. lol. I myself...

Steve: Another Audiologist, who I have never met will be doing my activation on the 21st. When I was talking to friend of mine, who has CI & also has the same Audiologist & had the same surgeon as I did has suggested that I maybe postpone my activation until my Audiologist is back. I'm not...

SpaceyUFO: I didn't realize you're from New Zealand! Wow. 'sigh' I'm sorry you're having to deal with all the troubles you're having now w/ getting the CI. Sucks that where you're at has socialized medicine & is just sucky! I wish you the best of luck in finding a way to win your fight &...

VamPyroX: I hope you're just using that as an example. I just got implanted with a CI a few weeks ago & no way in hell would I ever give up sign language! I may have CI but I did not get it to "become hearing". I got it to help me hear on that side since I am unable to use my hearing aid on...

All you have to do is find people who are nice, people who likes a lot of the same things as you & stuff. If you don't have that much of schooling left, then just deal with it & go sightseeing and do some fun stuff! Ask someone you know from one of your classes if they'd like to go to >insert...

I'll pray for your Mom. But I want you to know that, please don't worry so much. If your Mom finds out she does have Asthma, they can figure out the best way to control it and she'll be able to live her life pretty much the same as she always has! This coming from someone who has had bad...

Like Hear-Again, mine is way to loud to ignore!!! Plus the type of Tinnitus keeps changing at times. And both ears has different type of Tinnitus. It really sucks! I can ignore the minor one as long as it's not super loud. But if I'm kept busy or am focused on something I can pretty much try...

Dark-Half, glad you're starting to feel better! Sorry you had to go thru the nasty vomit crap. :/ I was one of the lucky ones, I didn't feel nauseous or vomit not even once. I believe it helps that I received anti nauseous meds via my IV a long with the versed and something else, I don't...

Oh and I forgot to mention in my last post - I'm already kinda struggling with hearing out of my HA but that is only 'cause of the dang 'T' masking speech at the wrong time, like when I am trying to talk to a hearing person & the 'T' would just kick in and take away my ability to hear speech...

R2D2: Like Hear Again said, I didn't realize you were considering going bilateral & can't wait to hear your bilateral CI experiences! I am very excited for you!!! I myself am struggling wondering if I'll be happy with one CI and one HA. I hate things to be 'uneven' so I wondered if I'll try...

Hear Again: I just re-read what I wrote you earlier and I apologize, I realized I didn't make sense- I was typing so fast without thinking and just never noticed til now. heh. But it's obvious you understood what I was trying to say. Why is sentence tests easier than one word test? I...

set2: Do you know when you're having your CI surgery? Congrats on choosing the Freedom. Yanno what I like to say? "I choose Freedom 'cause I like having the Freedom to have the ability to hear!" ;) heh. Which ear will you be getting implanted? My RT ear is implanted & my Left is intact, I...

set2: My 4 yrs old daughter & I are both attending my 6 yrs old daughter's K graduation. My husband has training for his job that week so he will most likely miss it. He said it's better to miss a K graduation over a HS graduation as he wouldn't miss that for the world. And I will video-tape...

Hear Again: Often time it sounds like my Italian Grandma talking fast for hours and hours on ends. I remember I'd cover my head and scream outloud to the walls "STOP!!!!!!!!!" but of course it doesn't! It drives me insane! Unfortutely, I had it before the CI surgery though and haven't really...

R2D2: I wonder why AB wouldn't choose to advertise it being water resistance? Is it to cover their asses in case it actually does break? :]

Hear Again: I've been caught one too many downpour & had to quickly cover my hearing aid & look funny as hell running across the parking lot/yard with one hand covering my ear. Before 6 yrs ago, it used to be both hands would cover each hearing aid so I'd look extra funnier back then. lol...

Hear Again: I'm 28 & have two little girls [well not so little anymore, being 6 and 4!] and just the fact that kids can run under the sprinkler with the Freedom makes me happy 'cause I now don't have to freak out if I accidentally get wet or if I decide to enjoy a moment with my kids and run...

Either I'm misreading or you do better in sentences over single words?! Amazing! Way to go, Hear Again! :]
