I think he wore phonaks before... i'm not really sure, It's been a long time but i think he wore the same kind i wore when i was a little kid, with the picture provided in my first thread.. and with the difference in sound, that is what i was worried about, i wasn't sure if they would be the...

So, I have 3 hearing aids that i don't use anymore. #1 hearing aid-- i have a hearing aid that i wore ever since i was a little girl, it is about 12 years old. I don't know what kind of hearing aid brand it was but i know it was made by phonak. It looks something like this: #2 hearing...

yep, thats dried blood, when i went in to see my CI surgeon for a post-surgery checkup, i had some dried blood in my ear and he cleaned that out for me and after that i was okay. But don't mess with your ear especially when you JUST got out of surgery. just relax in bed, watch some tv, take a...

I think its great that you're getting your baby a colored hearing aid! I completely wish that i could have a colored hearing aid as a kid, I would've totally LOVE my hearing aids! but i was stuck with beige colored aids up until i was in high school!! But right now my ear molds are clear but it...

true, i love to spend quality time with friends or family on the road while driving to our destination :) the person below me loves to jam out to music and dances in their underware while nobody is home :giggle:

false, it dries up all of the juice from the grill! the person below me likes to sunbathe in the pool while taking a relaxing nap.

I talk everyday, ever since my parents put me in speech therapy they could NOT shut me up :giggle: But i use sign with my mom and my deaf friends, boyfriend and interpreter. My boyfriend can talk, but he doesn't talk as much, he signs more than talking. whenever i don't understand something...

nope, not on that list, i live in ohio... why is it that insurance covers for CIs but not for HAs? i think its completely BS.. i mean HAs are just as expensive as a CI and an important device to daily life. I mean i understand a CI is more expensive than an HA but i still see HAs and CIs equally...

haha I used to love to do that as a camper when i went to deaf camp as a little kid! they get to swim for about 30 minutes in the morning on Monday, wednesday and fridays. The polar bear swim would start at 7:00 and end at 7:30, giving them only a half hour to hurry and change their clothes for...

my CC/subtitles are always "on" on my tv. I can't understand anything without the CC/subtitles. The CC/subtitles don't normally show for commercials, as commercials aren't normally that important. But for TV news station they're always so slow and it's always and have been a problem. I was...

I need to get a new tubing for my ear mold! the tubing has expanded a lot on my CI ear hook and every time i try to take my CI off, the ear mold tubing would pop off of the ear hook. I almost lost my ear mold a couple of times! :shock:

well the thing is we thought the camp examined all of the cabins before we arrived, and we also double checked everything before the kids arrived. And we thought everything was fine up until last monday or tuesday when the kids started to complain about having bug bites. We thought it was just...

Well the camp that we went to told our director that the bed bugs wasn't that big of a deal and that when the parents came to pick up the kids, they would have a explanation letter to the parents of what had happened with the bugs and what they do to get rid of them, meaning they washed...

yup! i got the bug treatment yesterday, they used the lice-treatment package for my hair to kill the bed bugs that i maybe would have. Plus they went to the laundromat to wash all of my clothes again.

What a crazy week. I have lots of stuff to tell you guys! I left for camp with my boyfriend :giggle: on saturday evening. We didn't get there until about 4. We had a staff meeting at 7 and after that, a few of the staff, including me and my boyfriend went to grab a quick pizza run and all of...

nope.. The only thing i can't do with my implants is go swimming with it. Even though the implants are water resistant i still don't like going to the pool and risking my implants getting wet. But other than that, my CI doesn't stop me from doing anything, Heck, in high school i was in the...

You can probably use a device called ICom. It allows you to connect to different devices to be able to hear through that easily. I only used it once when i was on the 30 day trial, but I liked it a lot. I personally don't like the FM system, i always had bad experiences with it. It's either...

Go see an ENT or an audiologist, they might help with whatever you're experiencing with. To me sometimes its the weather, with the pollen and stuff like that can sometimes bother the ears. Trust me, even with the CI i experience myself the sensitivity being too high or too low.

oh okay! any updates on the guy today?

She used a spoon to eat the milkshake/smoothies. my mom got her a panera smoothie and had to put it in a big cup for her to be able to eat it with a spoon. I got her a milkshake. I think she's not feeling good because of what she got today from both me and my mom. i don't know. maybe...
