Great pictures! I felt like a creeper lookin at them all without adding my own, so here we go: ^ Me ^Madalynn and Zoe

I ended up setting them to print at a walgreens across the street from her house (oh how I love the internet). She'll have to pay a couple of dollars when she picks them up still, but it's better than paying it myself and then mailing them. I half-heartedly offered to pay for the prints, but was...

@CSign - Omgosh, ouch! I'm thinking about how my husband's aunt wants me to print out pictures from my facebook and mail them to her so she can make his grandma a calendar. Problem is she has facebook and a computer and is too cheap to just print them off herself which only costs a couple of...

Ooh okay! I have already decided that I would love to give bimodal a go after reading the lovely responses here and doing some more research of my own. My initial concern would be that she would only be 'hearing' with one ear and the other just getting random sounds with - I didn't understand...

Merry Christmas!!

It's awesome that they're working today! Merry Christmas!

Deafdyke - I get confused as to if you are saying she should or should not get a CI because she has residual hearing lol. I do understand that she's not and will not be the only one without access to those higher frequencies, but if she is legally deaf and qualifies for a CI and a CI would make...

Yeah I was told the same thing about the speech banana, she would just be missing like 's, sh, f, p, t, k' kind of sounds, but if you think about it that must be very confusing too. Bat could be bats, bath, back, batch, bass, etc. That's why they are talking about just doing 1 implant to help...

Why should only kids have fun with bright colors? I think the green is super cute, I'm sure it'd look fantastic :D

Why not try an off the ear device if you're worried about it making your ears stick out? I have to admit I was a bit skeptical when I first saw pictures of themonline, but I recently saw my first CIs in person while waiting for my daughter's dr apt a couple of weeks ago and they are no where...

We would 'like' to keep her residual hearing in case of newer and better technology that would need it - but we are willing to risk losing it because her hearing is so poor already and she needs better access to sound *now*. I'm curious how they would test speech discrimination in a 1 year...

I have ottoferm for her given to me by the audiologist, it's a thick white cream and it doesn't seem to help the "gliding" process much, I think it feels more sticky than it does slick. This morning was a little better though, I put a bit more of the cream on it than I had been - she still...

Thinking about all the crazy holiday madness that is about to unfold in the next couple of days!

About to go make the husband's lunch for work, he's on 3rd shift this week. boo

AB is the hardest on residual hearing, but I think they're coming out with a new implant soon (or so one of their employees recently hinted) that will be just as easy on the cochlea as the other 2. All 3 brands are really great regardless and the surgeon you choose should be able to tell you...

Just curious what you consider zero benefit. Zoe hears the low frequencies with her Naidas turned up all the way (not sure in both ears just yet) but does not respond to ANY high frequencies, meaning that she hears stuff, just nothing intelligible (from my understanding). Would you consider it...

Thank you for replying! They are Phonak Naidas on the loudest volume for her 75-100db hearing loss for her first pair of HAs ever which seems like a lot, but I suppose you're right. She doesn't mind them when they're in at all and doesn't really try to pull them out, she just likes to poke at...

Today I'm thinking about how I wish I had more energy. Only 23 and tired all the time /facepalm

This might be an odd question, I don't know.. but my daughter (16 months old) just recently got her first pair of loner aids (as you might have seen ^_^) and it is a fight every time I try to put them in. I know part (and maybe most?) of the struggle is because she HATES being held still. But I...

Sorry if this is a repost, I looked and didn't see it but I may have overlooked. Start American Sign Language (ASL) Has anyone checked this for accuracy? I'm just starting the **free** course :)
