I have some very strange health problems. There is pretty much no stable healthy week for me. One day my health issues can be severe and the next gone. Needless to say it makes working a standard work week impossible. I can't even figure out the minimum amount of hours i can actually...

Ok i managed to get a very attractive women to agree to meet for a date. Its been so long since i've been on a date i'm not going to even post it for fear of winning some kind of "Been Single the Longest" trophy. Anyway. I am so freakin nervous about it I haven't slept more than 3 hours a...

I used to be a more social person, but then lost my hearing. I got a CI and 80% hearing back in one ear. I didn't become as social as i used to be, though, after the CI. Recently my family has been badgering me that I "have to get out more". How do i explain and get through to them...

I've had my CI for 5 years, but i am still extremely self conscious about the way it looks. I am a very small person and it seems like it takes up the whole side of my head. It makes my ear stick way out like Alfred E Newman, from the "MAD" comics. ;) I am very grateful to have the CI but i...

Does anyone else get really tired as the day goes on, when they use their CI? I am finding that if i have to keep my cochlear device on and forced to "hear" all day without a break, I get extremely tired and wiped out. Its like i'm running a marathon or something. I have to concentrate...

Please don't say get a DJ strobe light. Those are too expensive ($50+). I'm looking for either just the electronics circuit board which activates with sound, or a cheap sound activated strobe light. Any recommendations? Cheap = $20

I have a bed shaker now but it is not working well anymore. I don't know if i am sleeping more deap or just got used to it, but it does not work. Can someone suggest a bed shaker alarm clock that is super strong?

I am finding it more and more difficult to find a date because i am physically disabled. I am disabled because of health problems not because i am deaf. I am at the age where everyone around me is starting careers, getting a hourse, getting married and having kids. The crappy thing about...

I am putting this here in hopes that the moderators will see it. I have talked with some other members here and there seems to be a large group of deaf or HoH people who have health disorders or diseases which go along with the hearing problems. Some of the problems were related to...

Past few months my health problems have flared up and caused me to not be able to work a steady schedule. I'm struggling with the aggravation of not being able to work and seeing all my friends' lives moving on with having carriers, marriage, social life and families. Then there is the...

This is kind of old news but a cool video showing how certain frequencies of sounds make shapes... Shapes Using Sound Effects - Video YouTube - ‪Cymatics- Sacred geometry formed by sound‬‏ I saw this on discovery channel also and one autistic musician tech could make the sound into...

I do 3d graphics. I stick to character work, building characters and rigging them for animation. I have never done character face animation myself because i can't make out the sounds very well. You have to sync the character to a music track or whatever. I've tried blasting the music...

Since i lost my hearing 100% 3 years ago my balance went too, due to my health problems. For the past 3 years i've had terrible anxiety. This is not characteristic of me. I looked up Labyrinthitis (balance center in ears) anxiety and there is a connection. The reason is because when the...

Is there a way to get a smaller coil for a CI? Why is the coil so large anyways? The magnets are puny! Does the magnet interfere with the coil signal if its too close to the coil? If that's the case,there are metals, like mu-metal, that will dampen a magnetic field pretty well. Especially...

I do 3d animation as a freelancer. Recently i was in communication through email with an artist a couple hours away from me who is interested in hiring me. The artist said i am the best qualified applicant and would like to hire me, but wants to meet in person first. I explained that i...

I'm new to the forums and figured i'd just post right away. Lately i've been thinking that I don't really like my cochlear device anymore. I've had it for 3 years. Its seems like the device is not really something that helps me but is something more to make other people feel better. At...
