thank you so much! i'm finding the same...one on one convos i'm great at, otherwise i'm screwed. females and guys with "higher voices" i just can't seem to get-i feel so bad, i babysit for two little girls and i'm constantly asking them to repeat themselves! i was so excited for the aids...and...

I originally agreed to an interpreter because i didn't know how long it was going to take to get my hearing aids. since i couldn't get the aids originally, there was no way to use the school's FM system... anyway...now i've been given the option...my biggest thing being in accelerated classes...

no like it sometimes goes into my ear...it's not on the outside...it goes through the mold...i can hear it very clearly...and there's a lot i can't hear if they're not turned up...it's something i have to discuss with my audi. there's another type of whistling though that i guess is happening...

i only got an interpreter for the one class...the other one i still haven't received one for and it's definitely causing problems. there just aren't enough to go around...i didn't get my one for the one class until a month into the semester! my other classes i don't need one for since the...

No, I haven't been HOH my entire life. Freshman year of high school I had a reaction to some meds...they think that i may have lost some of my hearing then and just realized it now (7 years later...i find it kinda hard to believe, but i look back and there were so many red flags that i should...

Hiya! Yeah, some other people have noticed the whistling (i was in ASL yesterday and the student next to me was like "what is that noise?!" and i'm like..."sorry, I haven't figured out how to make it stop doing that yet!" LOL!A few times if my hair brushes against the mic on it too it whistles...

I can hear the whistling when it's in my ear...and I keep adjusting it to try to get it to stop but it doesn't really work... When my hair also brushes against the one mic on my right one it whistles like crazy too...so something is up with it. i was told probably a new mold will do the...

Thank you so much for your encouragement! It's good to know that this is "normal"...kinda LOL! Lets see...I'm now wearing two BTEs and I have a moderate hearing loss (50db loss in both ears) which we're thinking fluctuates though or may just be progressively getting worse... this is all pretty...

So I got my hearing aids!!! It's a huge mixture of emotions for me... Quite a few people have commented that I've "gone quiet" and almost "gone into a bubble" with this "expression" on my face... I guess the best way I can describe it is I'm just trying to "hear the world"... It's all very...

It's funny...before I became HOH i was going to minor in music... anyway... i can definitely say that i don't enjoy music like i used to. i miss it LOADS but i still try to listen to it...even though it makes me frustrated and sometimes depressed when i know it doesn't sound the way it used to...

thank you so much for the encouragement! i feel so much better! ASL-started learning because it's my major and i always felt that i could communicate better through it with people...so even if i didn't choose Deaf Education as my major i wanted to keep learning it...i did end up choosing it and...

Well like how to adjust to wearing a pair of BTEs? Best way to take care of them? How are people going to react to me having aids (i'm in college...)...What is going to happen when i DO get the call to go in and have them programmed? How long does it take to get used to the aids?

Thank you very much. Do you have any recommendations on starting out with a set of BTEs?

i'll be honest...i'm petrified to get the aids. i'm excited because i want to hear, but i'm also petrified because i know i'm going to realize how much i'm missing. also language...to start hearing certain parts of language again...i'm just really afraid. i don't know how to take care of the...

I was just recently diagnosed as HOH yes... umm the interpreter thing-it kinda just fell into place. my sign language level is at a point where i can carry on a good conversation with someone. anyway the interpreter...i'm in a class with another Deaf student and i ended up watching his...

I ended up charging a set to my credit card...I'm just praying that I can somehow make the payments. I got one scholarship from my school to pay for part...trying to get another to help out with the payments...I couldn't wait any longer though. I ended up going with the cheapest set that would...

No I'm not in the Minneapolis area...:(

hello all! first of all, i missed the ebay auction. i was the highest bidder until the last 30secs, put in my next bid, hit "confirm" and missed winning by one second because it didn't go through quick enough. yeah i wasn't happy either. ANYWAY... ended up going to my audiologist...and she...

Thanks, that does help quite a bit! The ebay ones are only up to $200 still...::crosses fingers:: and i'm under the impression that even if i get them from my audiologist, i'm still going to have to pay the $600 whether i buy them from ebay or from her! thanks for the advice on going with ones...

i agree! i could pay for another cheaper hearing aid for that cost! i wish i knew how to program them myself!
