Hey, So I contacted my audiologist via email regarding my N5 and she asked me to make sure if it was the coil or the peocessor that was having issues. I asked her for clarification but it was never answered (she ended up answering a different question I also had). I know from my Freedom...

So I thought I check out anything new with Cochlear and I saw that they have a new device called Kanso. I am intrigued in getting one but wasn't sure on how it felt. Here are my pros and cons so far. Pros: No coil = big + for me there. #1 reason why my C.I's keep breaking down. No earhooks =...

Just curious as what all of you has done. Looking for some inspiration. I have a certificate in Graphic Communications but unfortunately most of the printing jobs are literally on the other side of the country and graphic design jobs around here demand experience... Not even 3 months of...

My sister and dad are worried if I went and lived in a apartment of my own, how would I be able to hear the fire alarms at night? They've suggested to try leave my C.I's on but I've been sleeping without hearing aides/C.I's my whole life... and the sound of my own breathing annoys me. Is there...

So I really don't like going to see a movie at the theatre... because I never understand what's going on. However I seen once a sign that my theatre offered some sort of captioning for the movie. I haven't gone to seen a movie in awhile, so I'm curious if anyone has ever tried such a thing...

As a kid, I've been referred to as hard of hearing with hearing aids until 2006 when I received my first cochlear implant. At the time, I still thought I'd be hard of hearing as I still have a hearing aid in my other ear. In 2011, I got my second implant done and it's not until now that I'm...

So my mom kept in a box a Phonic Ear F.M system which is from the late 90's. And not sure if it works, I have to figure out how to use that thing again. It seems kind of wrong to throw it out... but I'm not sure what to do with it. Keep it? Or is there people still needing stuff like this?

There are two things I'm curious about and just can't make sense of it. I have asked my audiologist about the first one and she thought it to be strange but nothing that sounded serious. Thing #1: Back when I had my Freedom, I also had a audio cord to listen to music. It for some reason...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this? But. I guess it does relate to disability employment. I am from Canada so not sure what this forum really about other then disability employment so my bad if wrong place. I'm just curious to what some people's experiences have been with...

So I was talking to my audiologist on the phone, and in September I am able to upgrade my 2006 Freedom to either a N5 or a N6. I am unsure what to do. I do have bilateral implants in which my right ear is the Freedom and the left ear is the N5. I just wonder if anyone has had a N6 yet, and if...

I hang out with a friend, who is hearing impaired with one C.I, and one hearing aid. Edit: I have bilateral C.I's and another point I should make is I am more oral then she is - she has a translator whereas I don't. We always hang out in a quiet room in the school, but latley I feel annoyed...

So my friend and I was walking in her neighborhood, and we saw an owner with her dog. My friend mentions to her, I have trouble hearing, and the owner explained her dog (I'm pretty sure dog could hear) could understand some sign language. I think she said she found out by accident one day...

Hey, Ok so, I have bilateral cochlear implants and I hear pretty good with the two of them. When I was born though, I was diagonosed with a hearing loss in both ears. My mom felt there was something else wrong, and has fought with docters for years, that I also had auditory processing...

Hey, This is about my experience with having two cochlear implants, and what I think of having two of them. In September 2006, I had my first C.I implanted. When it was activated, I couldn't help myself but to laugh into tears. The reason was the voices I heard, sounded like chipmunk...

Hey, So I never really have been in a relationship before, and there is this guy I like, and I'm pretty sure he likes me as well. I barley know him, but I sit at the same table with him in English. He sits across me, so I feel nervous - I rarley ever talk except to my friend who sits...

I'm curious because I was taught in the Sign Exact English or English Sign Language when I was younger, and was wondering if there is a noticable difference between ASL and ESL? It just feels like people are using ASL alot now. I don't sign anymore though, but I would like to pick it up...

Hey! :wave: I'm a 18 year old female with 2 cochlear implants - one is a Cochlear Freedom, the other is a N5. I'm loving both though I do prefer the Freedom model over the N5. I was born with a mild hearing loss in both ears - as well being born premature. I also have auditory processing...
