    Phonak Solanas

    It is the same. I guess I'm just kinda nervous because I come close to tapping that line, less then 10dB away from it. What if my hearing gets worse? My audi is really nice, but she seems a little inexperienced, not that I really know anything about it. It just seems like a close cut considering...

    Phonak Solanas

    Hey, I'm getting a shiny new pair of Phonak Solanas Monday! Anyone else have these? I'm getting the MicroM BTEs, and I looked at a picture of them, they look so small! I have a moderate hearing loss, and my last pair were analogues, which where huge and chunky. I wonder how these littler things...

    Hypermobile Eardrum

    Type III, we've purposefully avoided an official diagnosis as I'm in college and will have to get my own insurance soon. Having me diagnosed now would make it a pre-existing condition and consequently, me uninsureable.

    Hypermobile Eardrum

    From what I understood it meant that it was just really flexible, more so than normal- like my joints, which can be twisted into multiple, unnatural positions. Not really sure what that would do to your eardrum though...

    Hypermobile Eardrum

    Has anyone else been told that they have a hypermobile eardrum? Most of my joints are very hypermobile, so I was not particularly surprised to hear this, but apparently it was kind of a big deal. My audi called all her med/grad students into to room to look at the computer and they did the test...

    Deaf and hh in college now

    Yeah, lol. It's totally true. They don't really know how to handle me here, the lady who handles my case says she only has a handful of students with some type of hearing loss, and only one student who uses ASL. It's because in that area, IU is useless. (Still better than Purdue though! ;) Heh...

    Deaf and hh in college now

    They do. I contacted my college about these little plaques they had up in the lecture halls saying there were assistive listening devices in Disability Services. I was excited at the prospect of using their FM system/loop in my large lecture classes- Nah, not for me. Turns out they -had-...

    New digitals

    They're more of a square shape. But mostly, it was because on the Milos I wanted safari stripe. On the Milos the whole aid is stripped, but on the Solanas, just a little piece of it is. It was more that the stripes weren't as cool on the Solanas.

    New digitals

    I hope so, really I'm just glad they'll be small enough that my glasses won't slide off my face anymore. They're not in yet, and were ordered two weeks ago, well I assume they were anyways.... Starting to get a tad bit irritated with how long it's taking.

    Crazy weirdo signing on! :D

    I completely agree, I know that to work where I worked over the summer, I had to have a full, government based background check and a TB screening. But I also think that those working in residential facilities should have to have a psychiatric evaluation as well! Abuse in residential facilities...
