    I have a question

    Yeah, never bad to teach a child a second language- in fact, it helps! I grew up with a speech impediment unrelated to hearing loss, and I took years and years of speech therapy. My mom started teaching me ASL when I was younger because she took classes, all pre-hearing loss :D

    Loudness

    Like F_J said, it is likely due to his hearing loss. Even today my parents will comment that I'm yelling or that I'm whispering, because it's so difficult to control your own volume when hoh. Also, he's a toddler, so.. :D When we were younger, my brother's teacher thought he was hoh, because...

I like their product, use their product, and have had positive experiences with them. I just find it ridiculous that for a company...

    How to get an FM system

    I'm not sure exactly how I got mine, but I would reccomend going through the school. I had a loner for a while, then somehow I was given my own. (Mind you, this was a box FM, pre hearing aids. Then I got hearing aids, and an FM, and we donated my old box FM for back up.

    Hearing at work..

    Well... started work today, and pretty quickly realized that while I can hear the PA system, it's difficult to understand. One of the most common announcements is so-and-so to dial a certain number. They do, of course, also make other announcements, but my big problem has been with these. I'm...

    Went to the aud today..

    Thanks everyone! It actually looks like I'll be waiting on the aids (figure it's better to wait and get whatever is newest/best right before I lose the insurance coverage, as these will be my last pair under insurace, anyway). Still getting the new molds though, they should be nice. Glad...

    Work

    Thanks both of you! I know on my home phone I'm OK depending on who the person is (I'm generally fine with talking to my mom, my dad is hoh and speaks too quietly/can't understand me, so I just hand the phone to my mom, etc.) but as I said, hopefully the new h-aids will allow me to click in...
