Hi guys I've been using the seimens Pure ha for the past 3 weeks. I'm just wondering what accessories you use for them. Does anyone use the charger that us available? I'm currently going through 1 battery a week. Is this average? Does anyone use the minitek? Can someone explain to me when n...

Your more than welcome to PM me n we can chat :) I tried to PM you but your profile won't allow it.

I completely agree with u! I've had my aides for two weeks now and I'm surprised at what a difference they make. It is a lot like getting glasses u don't realise how much you need then until you get them. I've noticed when I take them off I can't believe how quite my world is! I'm sure I will...

Sounds like I've got a lot to learn. I've started looking up Auslan classes to start learning more about the deaf culture

Thanks for your kind words Stephanie however I am able to talk. What I was saying is the sounds of your own voice when u get hearing aids it's a completely new sounds and can be strange to start with. To everyone else I sounds the same as I have always but to yourself it's very odd

Wow calm down this is supposed to be a supportive place..... I'm not saying that my voice has changed. I'm talking about the way things are sounding to ME!! As in the everything sounds electronic and robotic. I know this is something I will get used too but at the moment I have to push myself to...

No u haven't rambled at all. It's all very helpful! I've just moved jobs to where I'm using emails and the occasional phone call to organise people before surgery. I think this has helped my stress at work alot. I keep think I should just post on Facebook "Yup I have hearing issues n need...

I think I will get my audio to change my setting currently it's set to auto and I can't control the volume hence why I think I'm struggling with it. I think they should def warn you about the toll it takes on you to start wearing ha for the first time Sent from my GT-I9505 using AllDeaf App...

I'm struggling with headaches and getting hearing fatigue. Sometimes I find the need to switch off even if just for 20 min to relax in a quite world. It's been difficult as I work as a nurse and struggle to hear doctors n other nurses if they r in a rush. Esp if they have an accent. Hoping...

Thanks seb. I think it's starting to get easier but sometimes I find it overwhelming n have to take them out. Great idea to keep a journal about ha.

They are digital I'm pretty sure. They are the seimens pure.

I'm sorry robin I didn't mean to offend you. :)

Hi Laura I've had them for 5 days so its all so new to me. I have an appointment with the audiologist in a week and a half to do some tuning. The ha are set on automatic? I have no choice to turn them down. I've not been told what kind of hearing loss I have at this stage. They think it's due...

Thanks matt for the reply. My audiologist set my hearing aids on automatic so I have no control on how loud they are. Do many people use automatic? The hearing aids a received are a seimens Pure. I'm not sure how they rate on everyone's scale?? They r a level 5!? Thank you for all the tips on...

Thanks Chicago blue. It's such a big change to my life. How many people on here found out they had hearing loss later in life?!? Does it tend to get worse? My audiologist is unsure at this stage how quickly if at all my hearing will deteriorate.

Hi daza Welcome to all deaf!! I joined today and I'm looking to make friends that are HOH aswell. I've only just been diagnosed as HOH in the last 2 months and just received my first bilateral hearing aids. I was diagnosed with moderate hearing loss In my right and mild hearing loss in my left...

Thank you for your reply bebonang. Is it better to start ASL now? Do most people's hearing get worst?? Sent from my GT-I9505 using AllDeaf App mobile app

My hearing loss is moderate. I've only had my HA for 4 days so far and I've been doing my best to wear them all day but find I'm so tired from this. And I've usually got a headache by the end of the day

Thanks you both so much for your reply. Sorry robin I'm unsure what an LA is? I'm so new to this. I'm hoping that I will learn to forget the background noises. Is this what most people experience?

Hi my names Megan and im 25. Two months ago I went for my first hearing test to find out I have moderate hearing loss and needed hearing aids. here in Australia the government fund them until you are 26 so I was so lucky to receive a pair before my birthday. My family seem to think I've lost...
