My hearing aids are typically the last thing on my mind in the morning, honestly. If I'm leaving the house, they may or may not make it. For situations like work, school, if I know I'm specifically going to be in a situation where I'm a primary communicator, they're in my ears. Although I like...

Yeah, I'm going to go in with glasses/h-aids on, and do some serious sharpie-ing. I think obviously the part closest to my head is going to be the difficult end, though i'm pretty sure I can pick up different ends (ball screws and the like), so I think that might be the biggest variation...

Haha, thanks everyone. I've been looking at a couple different places online, near enough that I might go check 3 out before committing to a piercing. I guess I just need to talk to my audi (appt. tomorrow for new molds !!) about whether it could be a problem in the forseeable future. I'll...

I'm looking into getting an industrial ear piercing [Google "Industrial Piercing"] meaning a high cartilage piercing, but I'm guessing this might not work well, because I wear Phonak BTE's. When I next can, I'll upload a pic of this just so you can see exactly how my hearing aid sits on the ear...

Sorry, please disregard this. My brain slipped and I realized that I posted it in general, not H-aid. Again, sorry. Please return to your internetting. :D

Mhhm. General Stuff -Enough clothing (duh) -Quarters (dollar bills, change) for vending machine -Books (if you like reading, your fav.) Technology -Whatever your particular hearing equipt. is (if applicable) -extra batteries -Ipod (again, if applicable) -Cell phone " " -All...

Honestly, this isn't much different than teaching a hearing dog. Sure, hearing dogs would generally respond to tone, but at least with our dog we use hand signals. If you yell for my dog using the same intonation as you would with his name, yet replace his name with a profanity, he will respond...

And sorry for not specifying earlier... My Phonak FM is actually an EasyLink. I'm hoping to get a SmartLink eventually, though.

Yhep. Same thing. I'm almost 100% positive they just gave me a new one, with a new charger. It wouldn't register that it was being charged at all. I tried it a million different ways, because at first I thought that I had left it on or something when I charged it. Then, when it repeatedly...

Lol. I just keep my fingers crossed.. another Phonak girl over here. And my mic was out of commission for a couple weeks with no loaner D: I don't know if it was the charger or the metal connections on the FM, but the thing could not get re-charged. Brought it back to my aud, waited forever...

When I babysit I guess I'm more paranoid about being able to hear the other two kids than to block out the screaming one. Appropriate? Eh. Depends who you are, how many kids are there, etc. The same effect could simply be achieved by turning your back and refusing to acknowledge the...

I have Phonak Savias (I don't know if they'd be good for your loss, though) and they withstood the washing machine.. Though that was probably just some insane luck. Mine also have not posed too many problems when wearing them in the rain. Also no issues with sweat.. I don't know. I know they're...

Congrats! :D

But that would be awesome for swim class. I finally got my teacher accustomed to telling me what we were going to be doing BEFORE i had to take my stuff off. It would be a step in the right direction :D

Mine are still covered by insurance (I think), and they were 80$ for the pair last time, I think. :D <3 Secondary coverage as a minor.

My English teacher gave a speech to our class at the beginning of the year (hearing class, I was the only hoh person) about how listening is the hardest thing we do, and how all of our assignments will be a reflection of how well we can listen. He meant listen as in- listening with your soul...

Latin- I've taken two years. I have done sub-standard pretty much both years. An OK grade in general, but.. I don't do noun endings. Too much. The class I was taking also didn't really require learning it as a spoken language. It was more learning to translate/fill in missing words. I took it...

Just wanted to throw this site out there.. It has a bunch of other good resources, too. This is the main Listen Up resources page: Listen Up Resource Page Basics for kids and hearing loss: Listen Up! - The Basics and, specifically concerning keeping hearing aids in.. If Your Child Won't...

They just amplify sounds. They're not actually digital hearing aids. And the thing that bothers me is that I'm already paranoid about hearing people so they don't think I'm ignoring them- I don't need the added freak out when someone's walking toward me talking, so I respond only to see that...

Sorry, I'm confused. Does he have a hearing aid that looks like a bluetooth, or..? My dad got a bluetooth for his phone, then had to go to the store to get it adjusted, because the bluetooth came oriented for his bad ear. And is it the new type of digital hearing aid (if it's a hearing...
