I agree with what everyone is telling you. Wearing them in a quiet room will tell you nothing except that they work. You need to be able to test drive each pair outside for a couple of weeks before you can make any kind of determination.

It's probably a lot easier for someone with a mild loss.

They also sell a device you can probably get at any drug store called an earmold air blower. It comes with a rubber bulb on the end that blows air, forcing moisture out of the ear mold and tubing. It world be a temporary fix until you get dry and store.

Just ask. What's the big deal.

So for those that do wear some kind of medical alert I.D. who wears a bracelet and who wears a necklace?

I don't think trying to go through a person's cellphone, assuming it can be found, would be a top priority in an emergency. Maybe once things settled down, but not right away. A bracelet would be something spotted almost immediately, it would be pretty hard to miss.

Isn't it amazing that when you tell a person that you are deaf that they just continue to go on talking to you?:hmm:

Lighthouse, I'm not a big fan of pain. If the hospital staff offers me something that could help me and I don't receive it because I can't hear them then maybe I should make sure they know I'm deaf.

Ron makes a legitimate point. What if you are just deaf. Forget about the CI angle, Say your deaf or profoundly hard of hearing. Would you get the bracelet then. As Ron said you're in an accident and your aids have some how come loose. Your conscious but maybe disoriented. The people...

Naidai's with boots I assume are referring to DAI. Since they are 4 yrs old they may not be capable of the direct connection that the new naida's provide. Your audiologist may be talking about new aids since the Naida's have improved a bit in the past 4 yrs. That should run you about $5000...

If you want to get one then get one. If you don't then don't. I don't see how having one can do any harm, but I can see how not having one when you should have one, can. But please don't tell me how i can count on medical personnel to do the right thing. It doesn't work that way, no matter...

Jiro, that certainly makes me feel better. And do only females do the full body scan of females?

Uh, how are you suppose to do all of this and still maintain your job.

Hoh, what you say has a lot of truth to it. That's why you have 2 ears.

My only problem is the guy doing the pat down could be some slob getting his rocks off. I'm sure comments are passed amongst his coworkers about who he got to pat down that day. Unfortunately, there's no way to get around it.

Let me compare my device to my competitors device and I'm going to let my competitors device look better. Common. You take the comparison for what it's worth. A commercial.

If you need nothing more then just amplification across the board in all hearing ranges then go for it. But most people have more complex problems. What you are looking at will amplify everything, whether you need it or not. Sound quality may suffer also. You get what you pay for

Sure you're not just getting seasick? Only kidding. Not that it's much help and I'm sure the aid being broken is putting a damper on your fun but next time ask the audiologist for a loaner to take with you as a backup. In the meantime try not to stress out to much over the aid and have a good...

The article seems just a bit vague.

It's not unusual for an ear mold not to fit properly, which can lead to discomfort or feedback problems. Fortunately it's not a common problem, but it does happen. But a 1 month turn around time is excessive. Your order shouldn't be put at the back of the line or your audiologist should find...
