The thread title might need some better rephrasing...
This thread is for anyone who have any sort of hearing device that helps them to "hear" at life. It's more like what did you do on the day AFTER you have been "activated"/"turned on" with your hearing device? I know that everyone at least practiced with the hearing device for them to hear better, but what was it?
Please share your experiences, suggestions, opinions, etc.!
Oh, and I just want to note that if some of you "deafies" are offended by "deafies" using a hearing device like me and think that we trying to "get away" from the "deaf" status, just remember that hearing devices run out of power and boom! we hear nothing. We will always be "deafies" even with a hearing device.
Sorry if my grammar is bit off or that my words aren't "professional" enough for you, but I think my words get the point across. Thanks.

How do you handle phone calls? I struggle with them and I have to change my hearing "settings" around the phone calls. Whenever I get a phone call from anyone other than my parents, my heart skips a beat and then beats faster than a mouse's!
I'm in a situation where I'm deciding what to practice on lately these days. Phone calls? Closed set of words from sites? Open set of similar sounding words? Or just wait till the "process" goes to me, thus just living on with life?
