I have always been neutral in colors. I always got beige hearing aid with a clear mold, even my CI is beige with caps to match my hair color. I am bold with my hair colors and the way I dress, I don't feel that my ears need to make a statement too.

I wear a CI and a hearing aid or I will be by mid November when I am allowed to wear my hearing aid full time again.

I had a hard of hearing audiologist at one point of my many hearing aid tuning that I have had in my life. I actually preferred her over any of my normal hearing audiologists. What I never understood was how deaf and hard of hearing audiologist could accurately calculate the speech...

Hi!! Congratulations on starting your candidacy process. If you are looking for information on each brand, I agree with everyone above me. You can search the forums to read about who has what brand and their experiences with it. But you are going to find that regardless of the brand, most of...

To be honest, I am actually very surprised that DVR just shoved you off to the Lions Club. I was approved for two hearing aids for my one ear. One primary and one back up through DVR because I was under the income requirements. I am happy to hear that you are getting what you want but I still...

Here is a list of some of them that I was able to find. I have some more on my favorites list at work which come Monday morning I will put on here too. I hate when you can't remember how you found something! :slap: Alphabet Antics Kids Zone Learn English - British Council Free interactive...

It was totally unexpected!! I'm practicing with online games for kids with numbers and colors. I have to listen a couple times before I get the gist. My next mapping is on October 9th. Can I ask you if this is normal? On Monday when I got mapped, I came home listening to the radio, and...

Hi guys!! I wanted to share a moment that I had today. I went over to the library and I was tracking the book down that I wanted, then I heard someone announce over the loudspeaker, "(someone name) Please go to the circulation desk." The first time I was unsure. The second time they repeated...

:h5: That is GREAT!!! You are doing wonderfully!! You totally surpassed me :) I'm not at that point yet of hearing speech clearly. Although I had a little moment this afternoon. I went to the library with a mission of going right to the book I wanted. On my way there, I hear over the...

I concur with R2D2 too! I went back to work the next day and I thought I was going to have to quit because of the high shrilling sounds. I wish I had the time to take off to come accustomed to it. It will be here before you know it! :) Do you know when the mold is coming back? It usually...

Tousi, like my grandmother always said, quality not quantity :)

I discovered the trick when I changed from my direct connect and I noticed it didn't have a tight lock on it. So I put it on sideways and then rotated it up and it seemed to do the trick! I'm glad that problem is solved! :) I'm going to be on pins and needles waiting for your update. This...

Second mapping :) I have arrived with the juicy technical specifications of my second mapping! Jennifer my audi was impressed in the range that I was hearing. I took the advice of experienced cochlear implanter's and kept a written journal of what I can/cannot hear. My volumes levels have...

Just wait until your second mapping Kalboy, the static sound of cars and trucks going by will start to sound like cars and trucks. The first week was just robotic. My second mapping made things sound so much better, not perfect but I am picking up more things. I just played a guessing game of...

I have tinnitus but it is not nearly as loud or noticeable as it was before. It has a different pitch then what I am use too. If have both the CI and the hearing aid on at the same time it disappears. Its weird, some sounds sound like they are coming out of my nonimplanted ear when I have my...

Shopping is always a well deserved treat R2D2 :) I have to admit though trying on clothes requires some finesse without knocking the magnet off. How much higher is your comfort levels now with the new CI? Did the tinkling or dinky sounds resolve yet? That good that just one electrode was...

Now I am beginning to understand what the meaning of going soft is. I have three programs that I had to use for 2 days before going to the next one. I have maxed out the volume on all of them. The audi is going to ask me which one I like and I'm not quite sure how to do decide between the...

Hi R2D2!! You are a genius!! Perfect description! You have described the funny tinkling soft beepy sound perfectly!! Right now I am listening to Randall's ESL Cyber Listening Lab - For ESL/EFL Students website for some practice and every time a word is spoken I get the tinkling beepy sound...

Vallee!! I dove into my box yesterday. Funny, I got more stuff with the CI then I did with a Lincoln Log kit. I got my man bag all filled up and looking nice and nowhere to go! :) The only reason why I knew what levels I was at was because they had it set up where the audiologist had dual...

Hmm, you have private message the link to me if you want. I would be interested in something like that once I get to that point. How long have you had your CI?
