I think you would be pleased to know that there is a mint condition 1977 Impala 4-door, copper, with the original wheel covers for sale at a used car dealership in town. Looks like it just got out of someone's garage after 30 years. Unfortunately most Caprices in town have been bought by young...

If I were dating a woman that is skinny and eats junk food all the time, it would not bother me so much, but if she is grossly overweight, eats junk food, and tells me to piss off if I suggest that she eats healthier, I definitely would not want to be in a relationship with her. You cannot...

I haven't seen any reports of immigrants buying up prime real estate here in the States, however, keep in mind that many folks do not own property outright...they take out big loans. Many of those loans are indirectly being bought out by foreign companies in Asia, so, in essence, the Chinese...

Unfortunately you are in a similar situation as many of us hearing-impaired...oops, I mean deaf, people.....surrounded by ignorant hearing people. If the Baha implant hurts your ears, that in itself is a safety issue, and you should not wear it. As for your mother...hmmm...unfortunately you...

It takes a few months or years of trial-and-error to get to a constant volume, at least with me. I trained myself to speak lower or louder in certain environments based on feedback from others. Not an easy task, but the person speaking also needs to be willing to adjust. There are some people...

To top it off, my son is mentally disabled, and was invited to participate in a pilot program for disabled workers at a bottling plant in town. He will be working part-time, and must join the union there. He was told he has to pay union dues, even though he gets no benefits, and will only work...

Thanks, Alleycat...I needed the laugh.

The concept of unions is a great thing. We needed unions back in the day for protection. I think that if unions were operating based on principle and that common sense was used, they would be very successful today. Unfortunately, as mentioned by several...that is not the case. Greed...

Uhhh....not to make you feel worse, but, are you looking for reassurance from the deaf community that being deaf sucks?....or that the Baha implant itself sucks? If you really hate the device, you don't have to wear it.

If you had an audiologist do the test, he/she should be able to explain the results. Just by looking at your chart, it appears that you have quite a bit of loss, gets worse as the frequencies are higher, your left ear is worse. For more details, google 'how do i read hearing test results'...

I doubt replacing a CI would cause this oddity....my money is on an organic anomaly. If the OP was near a magnetic field when she heard the sounds, maybe...

Thanks for asking....so far we haven't seen any action, even though we are only 3 miles away from the Robscott area....interesting how much damage they've had. Our power did not even flicker once either. Looks like it is just high winds concentrated in one area. Remember that tornado that...

The best person to ask is your ENT doctor, preferably one that has CI surgery experience. No idea what is going on in your head, but, your case sounds similar to another woman I know of that had a CI, and had it removed to prevent seizures, and suddenly experienced occassional bursts of...

True. Same goes for other disabilities & diseases. Went back and found your question: My answer is 'yes, of course'. I am sure many don't want to answer this for fear of making you look 'right'....doesn't bother me, since I am a man, and no matter what, I am in the wrong....right...

True, but they still do much better than those of us with any kind of hearing loss.

Meow Meowmeow.

All I am going to say is: When we are surrounded by others like us, we feel like an equal. When we are surrounded by others that are not like us, we feel inadequate and will want to be included, and will find ways to be included. Late-deafened adults have it much worse than those of us that...

Thanks for clarifying. One thing I would like to point out: If you haven't heard sounds in your bad ear for that long, introducing new sounds to it this late in life is not going to work out that well. Like people who emerge from comas with muscular dystrophy, when we are young and...

If you are like me, you probably asked your parents a question like "Why do we have to give up meat during Lent?" and were told "Because that is the way it is, now stop asking stupid questions". Maybe I should get a tatt. Probably should get one on the back of my neck that says...
