    Broken HA's, not 1 but BOTH!!!!

    Yeah its like I have no idea what is wrong! I know that one did it first, and then I checked the other one to see if it was supposed to do it, and then all of a sudden, it started to turn too, and I don't think it is supposed to keep turning . . . I think it is supposed to be a part that...

    My Savia Phonak Hearing Aids Kit

    Wow, you shouldn't have a headache from wearing your HA's I wouldn't think, but I sure have a headache now that mine are broken. There has to be a solution to that, like I think I saw someone post about an FM system? Those are supposed to be really good, but my school wasn't very good about...

    Broken HA's, not 1 but BOTH!!!!

    My HA's broke today!!!!!!!!!! That little plastic piece that your earmold and tubing attaches to is turning for some reason, and when I went to check the other one to see if it does that, it started doing it! I know it is messed up because it seems like it screws on, but it is stripped or...

    What brand of hearing aids do you wear?

    Hi there! I currently wear Unitron Element 8 Power BTE's in transparent red, with clear earmolds with red glitter in them. I find them to be extremely awesome, and the other kind I have is 1 Siemens BTE, which is pretty old, was given to me before I got the loan to get these, I think it works...

    I have a question to those of you with a Sidekick . . .

    thanks, i didn't know that about the sidekick. i had an asl teacher who used hers all the time, even during the class, and the reception is not so great in there so i guess i just would've never guessed. lol. thanks!

    I have a question to those of you with a Sidekick . . .

    Are they all about the same? I need a new cell phone, and I use messaging a lot, need the internet, and stuff, and want to change providers because they are not sensitive to the fact that I wear HA's and need a HA compatible phone. Sooooo . . . . Are all Sidekicks about the same? I need one...

    My new HA's! (With a pic, I hope)

    I just recently found out that the government is allowing Medicare to cover 1 hearing aid, but only in the state of PA. My friend first told me that her grandmother needed hearing aids and that they were going to pay for one, and I told her that I didn't think Medicare paid for it because I...

    Movie: Children of a Lesser God.

    I saw the 1986 version, I borrowed it from my local library recently because I love all of the movies that deal with ASL and I love Marlee Matlin. The movie is about a school that has hired a teacher to work with profoundly deaf students to teach them to speak instead of signing. He tries all...

    My new HA's! (With a pic, I hope)

    Now I just envy you, lol. I live in Virginia, and DRS wouldn't help me. (department of vocational rehab) I am a full-time student trying to get off of disability, and they just let me get the 1 hearing aid from the Lions club that my social worker that wasn't related to DRS referred me to...

    My new HA's! (With a pic, I hope)

    They do use Siemens around here in the US, I don't know how much though. I got a used Siemens one when the Lions club gave me one. I am on SSDI and it was very hard to get help with my hearing aids, until I found the people who gave me my loan. But that doesn't help the fact that they were...

    My new HA's! (With a pic, I hope)

    Thanks to all . . . My puppy supposedly is a Chow Chow / Labrador Retriever mix, but I don't think he really is. I think he is more like a Pomino, which is a Pomeranian-American Eskimo mix, I have a pic of one at 5 months that I got off of the internet and he really looks like him, and I am...

    My new HA's! (With a pic, I hope)

    Hmm, I wonder what it is about my hearing loss then. I only have a 55-60 Db hearing loss. I don't have problems with feedback or the hard earmolds, just the Easy-T on these aids is difficult to get used to. I like just being able to put the phone up to my other aid I had, but these have a...

    My new HA's! (With a pic, I hope)

    Wow, I wish they were that cheap here, I would have all kinds of colors, lol. But, my audiologist said that the Lucite/Acrylic earmolds would be best for my hearing loss. Its ok though. I don't mind that the acrylic is hard. I just liked some of the other designs of the other materials. Oh...

    My new HA's! (With a pic, I hope)

    Thanks so much, yeah they are cool. The picture isn't too great, its red glitter in the earmold, they are pretty awesome, but I think they need to fix something on the right one, its hurting my ear, my other one didn't do that, so I think maybe there is a stray piece sticking out or something...
