All my issues are fixed. Thanks NaidaUp for your information regarding the ComPilot and Audio Boots. They were very helpful. Taking the information you have given me, my audiologist and I did some testing around. We were able to fix the ComPilot and the issue was the loop. She had a backup...

I have an upright freezer for years. Just as Mike has stated, as long as you don't open it every 5 minutes, and just pull out what you need for the week. You'll be good. The chest is actually better, because cold drops. So it will stay in the 'chest' and you won't loose much temp. As long as...

Ladies!! Chill out!! :laugh2: There is no need to nit pick every single detail. If I didn't understand, I would have asked for more clarification. But I knew what NaidaUP was talking about all along. No need to make a big issue about what the American and English expressions are. My...

NaidaUP, I have a feeling what you are explaining regarding the ComPilot, might be my problem. The Loop might be an issue. I would definitely be surprised if the loop broke so easily, as I am not rough with my gear. But I will look into that. I reconnected the loop and made sure it's all the...

My audiologist has it. No worries there =)

Good to know and thanks! I have an appointment on the 30th of July with my Audiologist to get this and the ComPilot issues I have fixed (the ComPilot just stopped working out of the blue, I couldn't get it to reset or work). I rather go to her prepared and equipped with the information, than...

In the beginning of June I got new Naidas Q50 UPs. :P After that time I had a friend of mine in England order Direct Audio Input Boots for them from Connevans. I finally got them when we met up in Oregon for the weekend. I followed the directions and what not. But I got a problem. I can't...

I was told I am a good candidate for it. But, my hearing loss has been pretty much the same my entire life. Hardly ever been any changes. I can hear well with my hearing aids, I speak extremely well. Between my mother and my grandmother, along with going to speech therapist for years. I do...

You basically have to 'shop' around til you find one that takes your insurance. Plus trying to find one where you will be comfortable with, besides I talk to women better than men. LOL Hell, I got a female primary doctor. *shrugs* I find women tend to listen better and pay attention more. I...

I have medicaid/medicare and my audiologist was able to get both of my hearing aids for $738. My insurance covered the whole thing. Sorry to hear that you spent so much on those Oticon. My medicaid gave me a hard time for getting new hearing aids. I've tried 3 years ago when they were 5...

I got my new Naida Q50 UPs a month ago and I love them. I myself have severe/profound Bilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss. A few good suggestions are made here already. Try for a better hearing aids. I have tested Siemens and I hated them, they were never clear and they were never strong...

Hiya! How did your appointment go? any more news? As for me, I had a long day. Spent some time with my daughter and finally able to sit down just now.

I had old analog hearing aids and I didn't know anything about T-coil back then. So I used my normal hearing to try to listen in to the call. I was still learning how to use a phone and wasn't familiar with the sounds that comes from it.

Back in the late 80s, early 90s. I had this one old guy that was a friend of my family by the name of Fred, he got me hooked on computers. He used to tease me with his damn computer. he had found a sound clip of an actual telephone ring. He'll play the sound clip and actually make me get off...

We got hearing members within our community. If a deaf person got a problem with it, it's their problem. Not yours.

my sense of smell is insane. I can smell things others cannot smell. I think it has to do with the fact when I lost my hearing, I honed my other senses. I can tell who's around by sniffing the air. I always make my friends freak out. I used to work at a Senior Citizen Complex as a Cook...

I think you need to tell your parents about this issue. So they are aware of the situation. If you are loosing your hearing, it is a life changing thing. I personally also think you should go to an ENT and get your ears checked for what type of ear infection you have. Sounds like you get...

And so does the other 98% of the young crowds. I hear people's car radio from my computer room on the second floor with my A/C running. I can feel their bass from their car stereo. I think we all listened to music loud in our younger years, but that doesn't mean you will loose your hearing...

They had Caller ID back then!! I got in trouble from it! Back when I was younger, those old phonebooths. LOL this one place we kids used to hang out at had one of those old phone booths. we couldn't get a number to work, so for the heck of it, we'd call 911 and when we heard someone on the...

Welcome to AD. And don't think you are alone. You can always talk to us and we can relate. Many of us have dealt with people putting us down, whether at jobs or within family. We have to build a tough outer skin so things don't bother us. While we tell ourselves we immune to it at times...
