    argument with my ignorant nursing instructor!

    HelloNurse, are you deaf/hoh yourself? if so, does the lecturer know? I'd be all 'BUT WHAT ABOUT ME THEN?' if I had guts. If I was hospitalised or very ill, I doubt I'd want to be writing. Can't read most Drs handwriting anyway! I don't sign but I'd like to learn when I have the money for...

    Does anyone still use non-digital cameras?

    I just bought myself an early Christmas present- a secondhand Canon 300D SLR- I know it's not a film camera but it's great having more control over my photos.

    Do you sleep with your hearing aids/ci on?

    No, even lying down with them in makes them press against my head and it hurts my ears.

    Making small talk with hearing strangers

    CJB, I know what you mean- if it's a stranger at the bus stop commenting about the weather it's too much effort for me to say 'What?' and explain that they need to speak clearly if I can't understand them- I'm not going to see them again, and polite chit-chat seems like too much effort for me...

    Does anyone still use non-digital cameras?

    I'm not a very good photographer, but I did work for a while as a photographers' assistant for a clothing website- I mostly retouched things on photoshop and did general practical work, laying out the clothes etc. We used a Canon EOS 500D I believe- I fell in love with it. A friend of mine has a...

    Loudness

    girlinggrey I thought I was the only one who speaks quietly with my aids in- my own voice sounds funny and loud, so I talk quieter. I tend to get told I'm mumbling. When I'm excited about something I get loud and get shushed. I can't hear my own voice properly with them in due to occlusion (only...

    The Lounge thread: Whatever you feel like......... Anything goes! Part XVI

    I'm exhausted, too many late nights. Ebay people are collecting my instruments this weekend and my ex is coming over to get his stuff and we'll try to 'hang out' and not be sad or argue. Loghead I do remember that manager, I was thinking about it the other day actually- that's fantastic!

    Aided free-field test today

    What a day! I've been so busy recently with work, and had a hell of a long day. I was up late trying to finish fixing a laptop for work, then had to get up early to shower and go to audiology before work. My dad dropped me off as the appointment was 8.45 and the first bus leaves at 9.16, but it...
