It's the same old story. Your problem is not their problem, we're all kind of self centered. But that's a huge number of people that you don't like. And a lot of them probably think you're a snob. Remember it's a two way street, and it's not their job to accomodate you. A lot of "hearing...

Digital hearing aids come with all those available adjustments in order to give you the best opportunity to be able to hear. You don't list your hearing problems but some people need to filter out background noises in order to comprehend speech. Also the sound through digital aids is much...

It's commonly referred to as a progressive loss. I have been dealing with just that for 50 years. It could be mechanical as you call it or it or it coudl be genetic. And don't disregard the genetic theory if no one else in your family suffers. That's irrelevant. You should try to determine...

Something to keep in mind. Considering the severity of your father's loss and the low speech comprehension, hearing aids will help but they will by no means fix. He will struggle to understand what is being said although at least now he will know something is being said. He needs to...

Well let me put it to you this way. My speech comprehension in both ears is lower 40%. This means I know i have problems comprehending what is being said. I can tell. And in a noisy environment forget it. What scares me is when I think I know whats going on only to realize later that I...

Fake deaf? Like I don't have enough problems already.

My mistake. Thought he was already wearing Naidas. I do wonder what the audiogram looks like though just out of curiosity.

I still don't get it. Volume doesn't necessarily mean that an individual will hear better. Since when does maxing out an aid become a prerequisite. The Cleveland Clinic could have determined that while the individual was there being tested. And since when does some residual hearing make a...

In one case you're missing 40% of the words and in the other case you are missing half. Would you consider that to be good?

I read an article recently by Rush Limbaugh, who I am not a big fan of, but he was asked by a listener about his implant. I thought if nothing else he gave a frank and honest response about his experience with his particular implant. He said he still had trouble comprehending speech and that he...

I'm confused. Everything I have read implies that qualifying for an implant has become much easier in the past few years. For instance I have a profound loss in both ears. First marks on my chart start at 90+ decibels and get worse as frequency gets higher. Speech comprehension is in the low...

Damn. I mean at this time how important is it to know exactly which gene is causing the deafness. I mean there's a whole family tree of evidence staring this person in the face. What's the point to taking on the added expense to determine exactly which gene? Is there something I'm missing...

I don't think telling some poor minimum wage worker that their company is in violation of the ADA is going to accomplish. As a matter of fact the supervisor wasn't all that concerned either. Both gave you the address of the legal dept. Giving the person at the bottom of the totem pole...

Can't you do that with any voice to text app?

Fantasia has sound? I thought it was a light show.:giggle:
