I put my son's aid in the shop today (about 3 months after we bought it) for switch problems. Now I'm having second thoughts about the aid though when it functions it seems better for my son than the Widex he had before (today he put on the old Widex in one ear and Naida in the other and told...

I scheduled an appointment to the audie (only next week). Until then he can't use his FM system. He really needs it to school.

Help !!! My son just called from school to tell me that his Naida IIIup aid shuts down every time he tries to go to the FM function. He also sait that it takes more than usual for the aid to start once he tries to start it. He just a few days ago replaced the batteries. Any idea as to what...

Thanx for the tip.

I went to the shower a couple of days ago with one of the HA. Realized it was on only when I started washing my hair. Got hysteric but eventually nothing happened.

Hey, That's life - dogs bark, peeing (and farting - OMG) have distinct sounds ...But I know what you mean, I started wearing hearing aids just recently (oticon Dual) and it takes time to get used to those sounds you never heard before. My son wears Naidas we bought a couple of months ago (his...

Q-tips usually make the wax impacted in the ear and even sometimes make them go deeper in the canal instead of getting it out. They can also hurt the lining of the canal. As a "thumb rule" of ENT doctors - "never put into your ear canal anything that's thinner than your elbow...." (besides...

Thanks, I'll try that.

I had my ears cleaned about a month and a half ago and again feel that its plugged with wax. Do any of you experienced aid wearers have any insight as to how to prevent ear wax accumulation? Thanks, Yael

Thanks, I sent you my details. Yael

Ijjehl, That will be great. It seems that these aids are new to our audie and she does things by "trial and error". Like there was a time when my son had a problem with high tone sounds - the "Ahhh"'s were vibrating and the "Eeeee"'s sounded to him like "JJJJJJ". She just did this and that and...

Thanks for the advice. I'll make the EASY FM manual as you said and will ask to change the SPEECH IN NOISE as primary function.

Hi all, My son is profoundly deaf and recently we got him a pair of high power Naidas with built-in FM system. All in all he is satisfied with them, but is annoyed by the automatic functions (for example, his FM is turned on in times when he dosen't need it and so is other automatic functions...

Hi, welcome to AD, I'll be in San Juan in April (Cruising the Cariibbeans)... Yael

hi, welcome to alldeaf. I'm a mom of a 13 year old deaf boy who was aided when he was 11 months old. I'd suggest not to decide now of the communication method. Try everything and see what works for him. We used gestures at the beginning but my son was a natural lip reader and with aids he is...

we get so pissed off when my son does that ! We tell him that its a sign of disrespect to us. Still, when he knows that he's about to get a "lecture" from us, he tends to "disconnect"...

We just fitted our son (13, severe-profound HI) with Naida IIIup. He had a slight deterioration recently and the audie said we should concider CI's. He dosen't want to have CI's (afraid of the operation), so we don't want to pressure him and as long as he is able to manage with hearing aids...

Thanks, Our schedule is so "fully booked" I don't think we'll have time for other things, but thanks anyway.

As far as not wanting to wear his hearing aids on weekends, I'd suggest ignoring him until he does wear them or if he asks for something, sign or visualize him that you'll do what he wants when he wears his aids. My son, who is now 13, has this annoying habit of starting to talk to us or ask...
