The flush heard around the world Here's a classic chart that totally proves your point. Absolutely hysterical, and totally predictable. Go Canada!

Wow... That must have been an intense experience. Reminds me of the time my hearing aids got stolen and I had to travel from the US to New Zealand without being able to hear anything at all. Wasn't a big deal except for never being able to hear when my seating group was allowed to get on...

Growing up with hearing loss... Sounds to me like this is all great news, especially if it turns out to finally the be the answer to what you think may be holding him back from his full potential. There are lots of things that will typically hint that someone is having difficulty hearing/...

Welcome If you don't mind my asking, what got you interested in deaf studies in the first place? Your boyfriend, a family member, or just curiosity?

Have you had a chance to seen Clint Eastwoods "Invictus"? It turns out to essentially be about the way Mandela used Rugby to help ease tensions between the races. The classic irony is that the final match is between the Springboks and the "All Blacks". All the talk about "Jonah Lomu the...

No joy on Eurion Tried their number but I keep being told that the number is incorrect or no longer in service. As for a more powerful version, I'd be amazed if the same waterproofing technology and/ or design couldn't be incorporated into different models to suit the power requirements of...

Eurion website I should point out that the website for the Swiss company that makes the Eurion Lotos is still active, which is why I bothered to make the suggestion in the first place: http://www.eurion.ch/En/Default.htm. I'm going to try calling them soon. If I get through to someone I'll...

Hearing people too? And another question, especially to Bottesini, who first introduced this idea: Do hearing people suffer from dying/ damaged auditory nerves? And if so, do they just suffer less because they are used to sound or can compensate with sound from different sources, e.g. loud...

Wow... Seriously, anyone with tinnitus has both my profound respect and empathy. I cherish those times when I don't need to wear my hearing aids (my girlfriend knows I'll just lip-read her) and am terrified of suffering from this problem. I've been extraordinarily lucky in my life that...

Agreed. You and me both Bottesini - love the pigs flying graphic - but I'd love to be the guy who either figures out why or comes up with a solution. The whole thing reminds me of a friend of mine who went to buy a washing machine at a store and noticed an 20-year old model in the back that...

Australia? How do you hack it in the land of poisonous spiders and snakes? Getting picked on much, or do they better tolerate those they perceive as Kiwi bludgers? *chuckle* Brother I hero-worship was born in Perth, and many of my English rellies live there, so I'm willing to cut the roos...

Nice one! Wow, very cool greeting from ~SG~. The waving flag of our excellent country (which I immediately stole) and the Maori hello. Makes me want to do the Haka!

The Ever-Elusive Waterproof Hearing Aid... I can't, for the life of me, understand why you can have microphones and speakers that will work underwater, but not a waterproof hearing-aid. While it may be that the two forms of technology involved are not compatible, at least for something compact...

Anyone else have any leads? I actually sent an e-mail directly to Eurion Lotos in Switzerland over a week ago and have yet to hear a reply from them. I might try giving them a call soon and will let you know if there's any success. Have any of you had any luck locating a hearing aid that can...

Thanks Thanks for making a guy feel welcome. I already feel a kinship with many of you simply on the basis of all that we have in common and hope that I can contribute to the discourse in some way that helps all of you as much as you help me.

From my cold dead hands... Sorry Evil Queen Lisa, I wouldn't have recommended it if I didn't jealously covet the ones I already have. As mentioned above, I still thank God I had the foresight to purchase another set before the company mysteriously disappeared. Being able to get drenched in...

Eurion Lotos I actually made an inquiry about them today to the people who originally sourced them from Switzerland, and they told me that they aren't able to reach the company anymore for some reason. Such a shame since I've never had HAs that lasted so long and took so much punishment -...

Hi Guys, I'm a New Zealand expatriate living in the US looking for some new adventures and friends. Only just discovered this site today and thought I'd join in the fun. I have severe hearing loss that resulted from the German Measles my mother caught while still pregnant with me and...

Hearing aid suggestion I would suggest Eurion Lotos hearing aids as a proud user of them for over a decade now. They are so waterproof that they're sold by grabbing one out of a filled fish tank and handing them to the user. I used to do Eskimo rolls in my kayak while wearing them and love...
