    Don't You Hate it When People Assume That Since You Have H.A.'s You Hear Perfectly?

    I went to motor Vehicle bureau recently and I explained to the woman behind the counter that I wear hearing aids and that even with them in I need hear to look at me when she speaks and to try to speak up. So what does she do? Looks down and speaks softly. I repeat my request, and again she...

    Don't You Hate it When People Assume That Since You Have H.A.'s You Hear Perfectly?

    I think the problem here is that most people just don't understand hearing loss and think that it's just a matter of amplification. When I talk to people who really seem to care and want to learn they are amazed by the different degrees of hearing loss or what a hearing aid can and can't do...

    Adjustment Question

    I think a lot of people complain about the transition from analog to digital because they don't know what to expect. To make it simple anolog aids basically amplified everything whether you needed that particular range amplified or not. Digital can be set up to duplicate your audiogram...

    Itchiness

    Miracell is suppose to be used everyday and claims to help with 37 skin needs. You put it on the molds very lightly and it makes it 10x easier to slide the molds in and later taking them out. A small bottle last forever if used properly, which means coating the molds lightly. I have never had...

    Ear wax

    I'm not so sure about squirting water into my ears. Seems like a good way to end up with an ear infection. Hearing aids, for me, seem to push the wax into the ear deeper so that eventually i need to get me ears clean. Although olive oil may loosen the wax it sounds like I still would need to...

    I use a product called Miracell. I put a very light coating on the earmold before I push the molds into my ears.

    Is anyone with a hearing impairment considered "deaf"?

    I have a profound loss in both ears, it is a progressive loss. Consequently I grew up in the hearing world and do not know sign language. When I am not wearing my aids I am literally deaf. I cannot communicate with others, although I can read lips somewhat, can't talk on the phone, listen to...

    For those with profound hearing loss...

    I have a profound loss in both eras starting around 80 and the falling off the chart. Without my aids I am all but deaf. My speech comprehension is much to be desired, but like I said, without the aids any hearing or comprehension is zero.

    best hearing aid batteries

    The fact that you just tell us that you have digital aids tells us nothing. You also don't mention whether you wear one or two aids, so how many batteries you go through in 2 months is meaningless. I tend to agree with you that duracells are much to be desired at least as far as quality is...

    Plug for Sonic

    The display screen doesn't do much good when they ask a question and they always ask a "Do you want..." question.
