Thank you all so so much!!!! My appointment is 1 pm tomorrow ~ I am way too excited LOL!!! I will tell you what I end up with ~ at this point I'm not sure! My family doesn't get why I'm excited. They don't even understand I have any hearing loss at all geesh!!! According to my family, the...

Thank you :) I know I'll get over it ~ and who knows I may end up wanting one of the colorful BTE's in the end!!

What is a mini-canal aid? My audiologist's office said that's what I'm getting, not a CIC aid. Something about the fact that I wanted volume control and feedback reduction and they said a CIC can't do that. I'm confused now. Well, how much does a mini-canal aid show? I'm still excited...

I saw someone once who had a cane (to help her walk) that was filled with dry or silk flowers. It was beautiful! Designer hearing aids sound cool but I'm still nervous about people seeing that I'm wearing one. That's why I'm planning to get an in the canal one - I thought I'd asked for a CIC...

I wouldn't check on AllDeaf at work either! I used to go to Ebay at work but I got too nervous when my boss kept coming in. My co-worker in the same room also got on ebay all the time but her computer faced the back of the room and mine faces the door. Not fair! Personally I don't like the...

OH MY GOSH LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :giggle: :fart: :rofl:

Those are cheap!!! I wonder if they work? If I someone says they do actually work, maybe I could get one to go with my one I'm getting this week thru a retail place. I only am going to get one for now because of the cost, and b/c my insurance co won't help to pay for them.

Thank you all so much! 2 1/2 days....I already have something planned for that night - trip to the park and a small outdoor concert. I can't wait!! I will be sure to have aspirin in my purse though LOL :wiggle:

I use my ip relay thru instant messenger. I like it! Even though I only have mild/moderate hearing loss I can't hear out of a cell phone or regular phone even amplified ones are hard if there's any noise around. I love the my ip relay. Stupid prank call people better not mess it up!! I...

Cool recipe! I used to live in New Orleans. I miss it!! When I was a kid (like 4) I refused to eat red beans and rice. Don't know why! Boy do I miss the food there! Up here (Ohio) no one can get it right. Cajun here means vinegar. I don't know what that has to do with cajun!

So I finally got brave enough - I'm getting a hearing aid! I've needed them for a while but because I was too nervous and didn't have the support of my family (well still don't) put it off for a long time. I finally got sick of having to ask people to repeat themselves and getting really...

I can't lip/speechread President Bush. I watch him talk and can't figure out what he's saying. Thank goodness for captions! Anyone else have that happen too? Maybe it's cuz of his accent, I dont know!

Hi Athena! :cool:

This is so cool!! I'm getting HAs for the first time in about two weeks and I am feeling better about it since I saw all these pics and different color HAs. I want purple!! My doc's office better have it!! If not, I'm gonna ask him to order some. I don't know how it works, but I do know what I...

Nope. The person below me watches Fear Factor on TV.

:wiggle: Hi aslstudent, Im new here too but I really like it!

Again didn't know where to post this so I put it here! My hearing goes thru periods where it gets worse quickly and this is one of those times. I do have a moderate hearing loss and am waiting for more tests to get HAs. Over the past few days I've noticed that all speech is taking on the...

I'd move to Hollywood and try to make it in the movies :dance: hehe! Dunno how Id get there - walk! 3000 miles is a long way though.

Thank you Vampyro. I had no idea. I'm going to turn on the tv sometime when one of those educational programs is on (usually about 6 am LOL) and see if the other captioning things work. Thanks!

OK I dont know where to put this thread so I'll put it here! I was at the mall and working on training my hearing dog (I'm training my own lab to work as a hearing dog to let me know when the phone rings, when people come up behind me and stuff like that). So I want her to get used to being...
