Keep your eye on Rush Limbaugh in a couple ears and you most likely will get what you asked for :) My center has told me a majority of their patients are in their 70-80's so they are out there.

Congratulations!! How long will it be until you get your new ones?

Woo hoo!! Thats great skeptic!! Doesn't rain sound so cool? I now know why people find it very soothing. What is next on your list to hear?

CI Moment!! This morning I was at work passing through an office to get to the fax machine in what I call a walk in storage closet. Passing through, there is a woman I work with name Pat concentrating so I sprinted passed her because I did not want to bother her. Pat is a cool chick, she was...

I had surgery done on August 27th, I'm pretty furry and filled in now. I will take a picture and post it on my blog. You might have a surgeon that does minimal invasive surgery which I have seen pictures of very little if any shaved off. If I put my hair back, I would put the ponytail down...

Here is a picture of how much I had shaved off, be forewarned it isn't a pretty picture. This was a week after my surgery. CHRONICLES OF A BIONIC WOMAN: Here is my ear...

It is interesting where the sounds fall on the audiogram. Like water for me, I can hear through walls LOL! I haven't taken notice at the leaves yet but I am sure I will be soon. They are starting to fall here. I haven't heard any birds yet, I'm not much of a morning person that slaps the...

Fuzzy, I was under the assumption that you were checking it out. I look back when I was 21 when I was told that a cochlear implant would be a better alternative for me because I would start to have episodes of tinnitus so loud I couldn't hear, I flat out refused to consider a CI because I...

Say no more, I have the perfect site for you!! Say It In CI

It is natural to be a little scared, but I had the time of my life researching all about CI. It was a intensive because you get so caught up in all the information, the stories, the difference experiences people have. The best part is that they are all people like us with their own story to...

I'm a wee bite late on this thread... I want to say congratulations on becoming a candidate. The test that the audiologist performed was your best aided conditions which shows that if you didn't lip read, you would probably miss a lot. I wore digital aids for years in just one ear and I felt...

Keanusmom, you just cracked me up laughing hysterically. I know the songs from Outkast and listened to DMX in my hearing aid days, so I can imagine how you were like dang, my song is rapping LOL!! The only one I had an issue with listening to is B.O.B by Outkast. His mouth just flaps way to...

Thank you so much!! That just made my day :) How are you feeling with your ci evaluation coming up soon?

Golly R2D2, this past two weeks have been one hell of a whirl wind. I can't even remember what I had for breakfast! UGH! Nuff of my whining though.. You are due for a mapping soon I believe. From your progress, it sounds like your ear is doing wonderfully. How do things sound comparing...

If it is the one that played Paige, it might be Joely Fisher that you are thinking of. If that is the one then thank you so much!! :) I take that as a huge compliment.... :ty:

R2D2, whats the scoop on your new ear nowadays? :wave:

I would have horrendous bouts of tinnitus before my CI. Since then I have noticed that my tinnitus is barely audible with and without my CI on. I have heard of it making it worse but I thank my lucky stars that it has been relatively quiet.

Have a great time and drive safe!! I'm sure it will be a great experience all around with mom and the family! :)

Vallee that is wonderful!! I can't wait to hear my niece belly busting laugh lol..

Now you have my wheels turning Tousi....
