they provided a unit that senses if there's an alarm going off and it will strobe/vibrate my bed. policy is that the RA has to go knock on all of the suite doors if there's an alarm or emergency...since i don't hear it, this was also identified as a potential problem...so they gave me a doorbell...

hey all! question for those of you with digital aids... So I had the Starkey Destiny 200 btes for about a month...these didn't have directional mics...just amplified. We found out later that my hearing went down even further (it's now borderline moderate-severe in both ears) so I had to get a...

hey all! I just had an alarm installed in my room since the campus here doesn't have "flashing fire alarms" (which we discovered when it went off at 1am and I didn't really hear it-my suitemate was banging on my door to get me up). ANYWAY...so they got me this unit which will go off if the...

would he put me on them (the steroids) even if all the tests come back negative? i mean i'm 22 years old... what should i expect this friday if my hearing has gone down more...or even if it is staying put at the moment? what do you think he'll do? can he call it AI even if the tests are...

thats interesting you mentioned your iris...my otologist commented on the fact my pupils are really big...they react to light but not in the right way...like they remain really big...theyll shrink slightly, but not much. anyway...i just want them to figure it out so i know what to expect...or...

Thank you very much for your insight! By doing my undergrad this way, I'll be getting two Bachelors...one in Deaf Ed and one in Art Ed...plus I'll get my certification in Elementary Ed... I still have a good 4 years (or more!) to go...so I'm sure I'll start figuring out what I want to do for...

A few of my friends have suggested that I should go to Gallaudet after I finish my undergraduate. We'll see :-) Did you do your undergrad in Deaf Education also?

Thank you so much...I'm definitely going to take what you said to heart and think on it *hugs*

really?? Where did you get it from? What do you do now?

Thank you so much! Heh I had actually declared Deaf Education BEFORE any of this even started...now it's all just quite ironic that it's happening... a friend recommended that i see someone to just "talk things out" about all of this since i'm internalizing it all and as a result some old bad...

i understand. i'm not blaming it on my audi...there's no way anyone could have known this was going to happen. i just want this to stop for a second so i can breathe and try to accept what is going on. after this is over i have this feeling i'm going to be petrified to see doctors or audis...

i have a few Deaf friends who i speak with in ASL (the limited amount i have, but slowly my vocabulary is growing to the point i can carry on a pretty good conversation now...receptive wise they don't even speak to me verbally now...getting there...slowly but surely!)... i'm also a double major...

what is the cause of your hearing loss? i go back this friday to see the specialist again...is it possible to have an autoimmune disorder without testing positive? how did you cope with all of this? i'm finding myself retreating into a shell rather quickly...

hey there! i struggle with the exact same thing! in fact, yesterday i said exactly what you did! i use an interpreter for almost all of my classes now...because i found that i'm not getting the information i need to succeed and do well. plus i wasn't able to follow group discussions...understand...

Hey all! So...last week I went to an ENT...who didn't even see me because he reviewed my audiograms and said he wasn't specialized enough to help me. SO I had an emergency appointment set up with an Otologist who I just saw today (4 hours from my college...gotta love insurance politics...

No ear infections...but now that you mention it, I remember a few times when I was working over the past year and a half that my ears "bothered me"...like they were sore almost like I had an ear infection only I didn't feel sick. Since the spring though they haven't bothered me or been painful...

Hey all! So I "celebrated" my one week anniversary with having hearing aids last wednesday by visiting my audi. Before that though, the clinic here that originally diagnosed me (they had requested to monitor my hearing) so I went in to having another hearing test. The result was that within 2...

Hiya! I just got my first set of BTE aids (Starkey Destiny 200s). They do have a t-coil that I can switch to if I need to. My question is, I want to get a headset to use for my cell phone (I just bought today the env2 by verizon). I was hoping for one that could give sound to both ears and I...

hey all! big question! i don't want my ear mold to get all "yellow" and gross and i know i definitely don't want it getting clogged up! the tools i was given (the little wire tool) doesn't really help get the junk out of the ear mold hole...and the only other thing i was told to clean my molds...
