I'm thinking of getting the wet nose alarm too. What's best about that is there is no Snooze button. :D My shaker doesn't have any stickers or names on it. Does it matter?

Its the kind that has the clock and the shaker seperate. The shaker plugs into the clock with a cord.

HAHAHA!! Yeah that would be great! I bet they have them at Wal Mart. It did give me an idea though. Take my alarm clock apart and attach an old subwoofer i have. Hope i don't electrocute myself in the process.

I have a bed shaker now but it is not working well anymore. I don't know if i am sleeping more deap or just got used to it, but it does not work. Can someone suggest a bed shaker alarm clock that is super strong?

I'm interested in this but i'm in Massachusets. Is there a branch in MA? How does it help specifically? Some things i still need help with, even though i have a CI, is waking up to an alarm shaker, leaving the water running, stove on, vacuum on, someone at door, etc. Could the dog help...

I was able to hear sounds and speech and talk with the audiologist on first activation. It was amazing! I actually screamed out Yeah!!! as loud as i could and high fived my father, and the audiologist got teary eyed. But my surgery recovery time was slow. I had a lot of pain and...

I agree. I lost my hearing while in college and wish my college had an FM system. It would have saved me from dropping out.

You can find a lot of articles when searching for stress and labyrinthitis. I will find and post the article that shows the connection between gaba neurotransmitters, anxiety and labyrinthitis.

I understand what you are saying. I would agree with that too. I wouldn't want someone sponging off of me either.

That's a good point. I figured i needed to find someone with no health problems, in order to be happy. I'll just have to do things different.

Yeah i get panic attacks when in crowds and a little when in a long conversation one on one. I think the idea with labyrinthitis and anxiety is its a two way street, one causes the other, and vice versa. I remember when i met with the research scientist before getting my CI, he told me that...

That's a good idea. Can't believe i didn't think of that before.:roll: I guess i was caught up in the stereotype way of thinking, and probably a little superficial myself.

You would also have to consider that if this went further to marriage that possibly kids could be born with the same health problems. I can't get this out of my mind. It makes me wonder if that is another thing the women i try to date think about. So all the women, please reply to this with...

I don't use a wheel chair. I am disabled because of chronic health problems.

The problem with the article was that it was a study conducted by psychologists and written in TIME magazine. I was suprised to see something so politically incorrect in TIME.

what the f ? why are there 2 posts of my topic? weird... Anyways, i happened to read an article in a magazine which said people are more likely to avoid someone who has chronic health problems. The study showed that even when the observers didn't know the people they were looking at were...

Thank you, everything said is very encouraging advice. I'm finding that i have a hard time explaining to women that i am disabled. I used to work with a few girls who ended up seeing me become disabled over time. They were the ones i asked out. I don't hang around with them now. I am...

I am finding it more and more difficult to find a date because i am physically disabled. I am disabled because of health problems not because i am deaf. I am at the age where everyone around me is starting careers, getting a hourse, getting married and having kids. The crappy thing about...

I wasn't trying to be mean, sorry. There was a girl that was interested in me just because i was deaf. She wanted to get to know me because she was doing research about hearing impaired social life for her job at a hospital. She wasn't up front about it though.

iamcurious, are you interested in being his friend only because he's deaf?
