Hello all! So I'm very excited...I have an appointment with an audiologist for next friday (the 22nd). My advisor who called me said that it was to get me hooked up with something to help in the classroom...I don't know if that means a set of aids on loan...or an FM system. Not sure. We're...

What type of HAs do you have? BTE? Are they Starkey...Rexton...? Just curious... I do have some savings...the only problem is the savings are for the studio classes for my majors in school...so if I take that, then I have no way to pay for the studio supplies for my classes (plus essentials to...

Hello all... I've got some pretty big questions...I'm hoping someone has some knowledge in this area... Alright, so I'm 22 (I'll be 23 in Nov) and have been financially independent for almost 4 years. Everything is in my name (car, insurance, college loans, etc.). The only exception is that my...

So I'm honestly not sure what is going to happen until I have my meeting on Weds with OVR, however I'm trying to prepare myself for hearing aids. What type of care for them is required? I'm planning on getting BTE either as an open fit or one with an ear mold...not sure yet. Depends on whether I...

That is what I'm leaning towards...this past summer semester has been **** to put it lightly. I'm only taking two classes but it's enough to send me over the edge since I'm spending all of my time trying to figure out what is being said in the classes! I'll see what this OVR counselor has to...

I'm meeting with an OVR counselor on wednesday to see if they can help me out with affording a set of aids. I'm just afraid that it's going to take MONTHS to get approval-which I really can't afford either because of the classes I'm taking...it's kinda a catch-22. I need the aids now, but will...

For my family, it's "you've done fine up until this point and you never said there was a problem, so you don't need hearing aids". I mean i suppose it is my fault for not telling them how much i was struggling...but the other thing was i had adapted so well within my working environment that i...

Thanks guys! I thought the same thing, but my teacher was telling me that her Deaf student from last semester had to do something special to his VHS to get the captions to work...so I was totally thrown for a loop! Went to the library and set the TV there for captions and watched the...

I've been struggling in class because I don't understand the movies that my teacher shows (they don't have captions since they're on VHS). She DID say though that she had a Deaf student last semester who was able to take the movies home and play them on his VHS and the VHS would show the...

I also was thinking about putting it off...until I spoke with my Deaf ed advisor. He helped me realize everything that I've been missing hearing for over 4 years...which I just never realized that I wasn't hearing (like paper crumpling, birds singing, people walking, etc.). He told me flat out...

SO I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE!!! My parents are INCREDIBLY critical about all of this and want NOTHING to do with the fact that i'm HOH and need aids. They said flat out "you're done fine up to this point, you don't need them-you hear obviously just fine, you hear us no problem!". I've already decided...

Well I had the hearing test from the school's audiology department (they just don't dispense hearing aids). It showed me ranging around a 50db straight line across in both ears however they think that it ranges depending on the day (if I'm really tired, I can't hear worth crap-everything is...

Hello all! I've been lurking around this site for quite a long time-I just signed up though. I'm 22 years old and just returned back to college this summer. I'm double majoring in Art Education and Education of the Deaf and HOH. I've been working in retail management for the past 4 years... I...

If it makes you feel any better, I just started back to college (I'm 22) and I've been told that I have to get hearing aids too (I was "faking it" and acting like i could hear and just making due with what i didn't understand for a long time too...) I'm having the same questions and feelings...
