i understand what you're saying. yes they have tested my acoustic reflexes and have seen a decrease in them (i don't know what that means?) as for the MRI/CT, they haven't suggested those yet in my appointments. i'll message my doctor and tell him i want one to see if that will show...

i know that steroids is the treatment regardless of age. i challenged the doctor, and got a 2nd opinion (in that same clinic though because of my insurance). that was what i was told...and i trusted those doctors. what else should i do? like...i want this all to stop and i want my hearing to be...

the only reason i've gotten to this point is simply because the doctor told me there is nothing that they can do whether they know what's wrong or not. i asked him how he would treat the hearing loss if he knew what was causing it and his response was exactly what i'm doing now. i asked him if i...

no MRI or CT, but yes to bloodwork-it was supposedly normal.

no...no MRI or CT was suggested by any of the docs that i recommended. my old audi wanted one...but finances are a huge issue and the doctors decided anyway that it wasn't needed. i don't like the fact that i don't know what caused it...i mean someone asks you, "why are you deaf?" and you say...

haha! i actually still don't know! all that i know is he took the full impression and "smoothed out" the top to make sure it really shaped my ear well...really took the time to get a good impression. he never did say though what type i was getting...mostly because i was pretty upset about the...

hey all! i did end up going to a new audi last week...i was a moron and forgot my audiogram, so i brought it back today for another appointment. he made the impressions and will order me new molds...but this was all after retesting my hearing again (i didn't want it, but he said it was so he...

I've had three people recommend the full shell molds to me now... I did just go to another audi though (I was a moron and forgot my old audiograms which he wants to see first before he makes any recommendations) so we'll see what he says. he said if they're not comfortable and they keep...

that's GREAT! i'm so happy to hear that your new audi is awesome! AND that is sooooo sweet what they're doing for you with the aids and mold! SO SWEET! yayyyyy!!!!:applause:

pinky that is so exciting about you getting a CI! i can't wait to hear how it goes for you!

oh my goodness pinky i love those star BTEs!!!!! anyway i went and made a consultation appointment at a different local audi today just to see if they're able to make me a set of molds or not...we'll see what happens! it's thursday! i'm going to tell him exactly what i want and we'll see what...

**hugs** thank you so much! i was thinking of maybe a clear blue or silver...or just a frosted white...i have no idea actually LOL! heh that's so funny about looking towards the fashion of the next decade...i'm curious too!!!

yay for new earmolds! what color and kind are you getting? and yes...mine are also "pink clear" which i specifically did not want (although people tell me they can't tell...)

do you like the soft? do they have as good of a fit?

perfect! thank you! I didn't know what the terminology was to use to try to explain what I wanted...thank you thank you thank you!!! full shell...have to remember that! if i have a choice, would you recommend soft molds or hard molds?

Hiya! No i'm not happy with my earmolds at all...that's why i'm looking to get my full canal molds elsewhere. i was told that's what i needed...and she didn't do what she recommended in getting me them. so it's time to do it myself since i can't trust my audi anymore. thanks...my favorite...

i'm glad to hear that this is common...i actually was starting to try to convince myself that maybe i was "messed up in the head" and this was why she was saying nothing is wrong and i can hear just fine...

it's not near what the others were...i couldn't smile or wiggle my ears without them whistling and people were constantly commenting on it. now it happens only once in a while, it's more the fact they're insanely uncomfortable now AND they still whistle a little bit. i just don't want to...

i hate them. that's why if i don't have to go back anytime soon i'm not going to! i'm going to stop into one of the local providers and see if they do just ear molds...

there was once where i was waiting for her to start...so i started looking around the booth and she was like "are you paying attention?!" and i'm like...yeaaaaah i'm waiting for you to start (which i guess she already had i just wasn't hearing anything lol)!
