My dad went to the post office and said something to one of the cashier/counter workers who looked at him kind of confusedly (my dad was making a joke or something, just being light hearted and making conversation) and the man standing next to the cashier explained that the man was deaf and...

*Randomly Off Topic* Do you like the look of the clear ones? They look pretty cool. And btw, love the zebra :D I need to think about my colors next time LOL. I was just like "Uh.. blue.. green? Bluegreen tie dye?" :D

Yhep :D My friends would like to go for a walk with it when we had a sub who was handing out worksheets, and they'd run up and down the halls gettiing random people to say Hi. I still just hate when teachers cross their arms or let it hit things. Annoying!!! And I dig your hearing aids :D The...

The thing we're constantly working on is self advocacy. Every week I'm asked for examples, and, honestly, its something I just do naturally, so I don't traditionally remember it. Well, I do it in school. In school there are programs, and documents, and files, and charts, etc., so its generally...

I just checked out the Versatas- They look really cool. Ohgosh. Today at the supermarket, standing right next to the cart lines- OHMIGOSH!!! I just about jumped, it was so loud. Glad they have the Smartlink with them. What do you think my aud is going to reccomend next year?

Yep :D

:p that's insane. Mine have changed their channel themselves, I'm assuming because they were trying to pick up someone's nearby channel? I also find it funny to go in public places and hear my fm click on. It always gets my eyebrows raised trying to find out -WHO?-.

:D Lol. I've gotten some crossed wires before. Sitting there in math class listening to someone elses science class. Basically just wandered down the hallway till I identified the teacher, then went back down to hearing support to straighten things out. That and when teachers forget and wear the...

The easylink has been pretty good to me, except the occaisional weird noise. And what kind of fm is the one you're talking about? Is it a little clip on transmitter with a wired mic, a neck-worn mic, etc? Right now I have a neck-worn, and I think if any of my teachers ever heard what it sounds...

I've been told that I'll qualify for new ones next year. That'll be my 5th year. My aud mentioned that next year I should get the smartlink (I'll be using it for HS and college), especially if I want to use it for the phone. I just picked up an audio cord and a splitter. I don't know what kind...

So, I decided to go out and see the movie Sherlock Holmes. Looked OK, knew the basic story... except not. I failed to realize that the entire movie was British accents (I know. Duh.) and very quiet/whispering. The movie went like this: Person-dsngjhnerougnfvdnvaoiero HOLMES sdghiuhrfz...

I'm currently in the throes of getting these "transitional" papers and such. The only thing on the list of activites (on which I had to mark what I was able to do independently) that I couldn't mark "independent" for was driving and writing checks- because I haven't learned either yet. And I...

Lol :D As I said in another thread, I don't really have the opportunity to utilize sign much, but sometimes finger-spelling works better with my friends- especially if they're trying to tell me something the whole world doesn't need to hear!! At first I was trying to teach my friend to...

I'm still at that level of sign language where my vocabulary is very limited and involves enough finger spelling to get on someone's nerves and plenty of mis-signs. My deaf friend has been amazing enough to correct me and teach me the common words that I don't know. I don't really know enough to...

Congrats! :D

Lucky :D I'm glad I could help!

I use size 13s for Savias, they tend to last pretty long. I'd say any where between 12-14 days, depending on where I bought them from. A woman I know gets the free batteries from the aud and wonders why they only last about 2 days.. she gets them because they're the old ones once a new set come...

Moderate hearing loss, last time I got tested I believe. Hasn't been too long. Does hearing technology really change in a span of 4 years? It seems now the FM I got back then is now rated as not really suitable for classroom use and such, it's now reccomended to teens and adults, but really for...

.. Yes, I appreciate the sarcasm and everyone's advice. As for the audiograms.. honestly, I'm not sure. Twice they've been explained to me, and frankly... still don't know the numbers. People ask me often for what dbl levels I CAN and cannot hear, and I often just have to shrug. My last timp...

I was never really into vanity, but when I got my hearing aids, the hair stayed down. And the hair, 4 years later, still pretty much remains down. I have to wear my hair up for exercise/sports, and have blue/green ear molds with silver/black bte's. This summer a mother of someone on my team...
