WHAT?! What type of audiologist does not have a makeshift hearing aid mold to hook up a hearing aid to so they can conduct tests? I agree with R2D2, I had to go through about 5 different types of tests in order to get approval. When they had to do the speech discrimination tests on me, they...

:fingersx: My fingers are crossed for you :fingersx:

Woo!! Is it all closed up now? Does that mean the steristrips comes off and you are free as a bird from that point on? I never got it either :) I use to put it in one of those air tight glass containers, it think they are called humidors, it would wake my mom up from a sound sleep if I...

Wow thats easy. I never got dizzy or had balance problems either but they needed to know if my balance was the same in both ears.

I'm glad to see that everything is okie dokie up there!! :) Have you gone through your balance test yet?

Dude, I would have been counting my lucky stars lol!! Thank god it till works!!

It is hard being the only one that you know of that has a hearing problem. It was not until I started researching cochlear implants until I realized there is tons of other people out there just like me!!! I wish I knew about this a long time ago. I grew up mainstreamed orally all through...

This grinding teeth business just prompted me to ask my mom what is the most annoying sound to her. She promptly let me have it. She hates when I forget to turn my hearing aid off and it sits there whistling forever, dripping water, and nails on a chalkboard. I think I am going to do a mass...

Hey Grendel, I can relate you in more ways then one. I am not much older then you are, I am a ripe age of 27 :) I had severe to profound loss in both ears that was diagnosed at the age of 3. When I was 12, I lost all the residual hearing in my left ear. Hearing aids brought on this darth...

Thank you so much for that translation :) I really appreciate it :)

I agree, I use to spend hours hunting down stories like this. It is great. I think if I went blindly in getting the implant that I would have been much more nervous if I didn't have this to come back to or at least loaded up on xanax lol... I guess some people don't realize that we can...

:fingersx: I got my fingers crossed for you!! :)

LOL!! Steve Irwin has fully informed me with the great outback has to offer me in the 6-8 feet legged variety which has prevented me from taking that leap :) I don't know what kind of cockroaches you got over there but the ones that New York has are pretty big. So are there rats.. :eek3:

Oh god, its that time of year again with the crickets. I haven't heard the crickets in I can't say how long. I don't want to hear them either. I have a phobia for insects. Other the hand, congrats :) :D

Thank you very much, all I was able to understand was by lipreading calling her baby beautiful and somehow I didn't think it was about that. I don't know any sign what so ever.

I just got home from the city of brotherly love :) and I left my stitches there. Since the incision is still numb, I hardly felt them take out the stitches. The doctor said everything looks great. He was happy to hear that I hardly had any side effects from the surgery. I must have been so...

Maybe they learned together because that is exactly how mine looks :D but your hair looks nicer :)

Man if I didn't know better I say the same doctor did our surgery :giggle: My surgery was done at University of Pennsylvania, where was yours done?

Could someone translate what the film blog says?

My incision is located in the crease of the back of the ear and then when it get to the top of the ear and goes straight up for about an inch and a half. There will be a picture posted on my blog tomorrow. My mom took pictures but I can't stomach looking at them yet. I don't do well with...
