does NOT cover hearings aids, BAHA or Cochlear Implants!:devil: (I had to try out that icon :) Anyhow, how do others get implanted without the insurance??? Are there state programs that you can apply through?? I don't think we can pay 30k at this time:deal:

I have often thought about teaching The problem with teaching the deaf is I have been mainstreamed my whole life and do not sign!:eek3: If I only knew then, what I know now KWIM? :ty:

I think this is great!! This way there will be no doubt who's obligation/responsibity the child is!

candidate for Cochlear Implant? How does one qualify? My insurance will not cover ANY type of hearing aide/ device so how do others pay for it? I really think this would be the route to go in my left ear (95db loss) Right ear has 60 db loss Also, if I find myself removing my HA at the...

I think being naive is bliss! In others words, I would rather not know what I missed. Being told later makes me feel bad/sad that I didn't hear it KWIM?? Although, if it is important and I NEED to know - that is a different story KWIM?

Thank you for your feedback! I have taught *m* preschool in the past and I enjoyed it. Problem is: LOW pay!!! It seems the only things I qualify pay $10hr:eek3:

I am trying to decide what I am going to do when I "grow up". I have been working in customer service, teller, loans, new accounts banking for the last 10 years on and off. However, I feel like I feeling incompetent and self conscious as I am having a very hard time hearing people. Shouldn't...

Thank you all for your feedback! I am going to seek a second opinion. I understand not qualifying for the BAHA. However, I don't think it makes sense that "my brain would be confused" if I had a CI in profound/severe ear while I wore a HA in my moderate ear KWIM?? Also, I know my...

consultation for the BAHA ( since i have 90db loss in left ear and 50 db in the right) I don't really qualify since the "good ear" is still borderline. Anyway, I asked about a cochlear implant in my (dead ear) and the Dr said that the sound is much different than the way my better ear hears so...

Oticon Epoq I will go for a " test" drive next week, the day before my BAHA consultation!

They are hearing children. It is just interesting that they go to a preschool with A beka cirriculm. My boys have spanish once a week Why don't they offer sign language?

I had to look at the time of my post cuz I know I wear a hearing aid :) Excuse the "typo"

living?

Funny thing is I always tell family/friends that I can be a private investigator cuz I may miss the conversation at my table but I could tell you what people at the next couple of table are talking about just by reading their lips!:giggle:

are being taught Spanish in preschool vs sign language!

Please don't laugh but with the new totally implanted devices how does one actually turn it off?? Would you never get total peace and quiet?

I accepted it a lllllonnnnnnnnggggg time ago. I tell people all the time.

Well, sadly on the left side I am deaf and on the right I am HOH. I can hear at about 60 db on the right. That is part of what makes it so hard. I am EXPECTED to hear KWIM?

That is rough!! Interestingly enough it took my parents a few years to figure it out AFTER I had menigitis. I TRULY believe that if my toddler came home from three week hospital stay and in a matter of a month or two seemed CONSISTENLY disobedient (ignoring "no" etc) I think I would have...

I can hear, I am not without sound However, I have a tough time and I realize that I feel insecure (always afraid I am going to misunderstand or miss the "joke" or not respond correctly. Lately, I feel like I am afraid to talk to people because I will not be able to hear them (when they...
