Actually I can check his record online! The other thing I don't like about his office is that they refuse to give you copies of the audiograms. I have asked EVERY time I have been in to see them. We have an online system called mychart but I haven't been able to log onto it. It says my code is...

I'm more prone to fungal infections?! Great! I guess that's why my doctor said to start taking AZO yeast which is a homeopathic yeast and fungus inhibitor.

It didn't hurt just freaked me out because he didn't tell me before he did it. If he would have explained it to me, I wouldn't have been so upset.

I did not know that. Thank you for teaching me something new :)!! I'm already on continuous antibiotics for an autoimmune disease. No wonder he asked if I was still on the Clindamycin

I agree. I wish mine would retire. He uses a nasal speculum to look up your nose and it always makes my nose sore for hours after it. He also pushed the otoscope in so far it almost feels like he's trying to scratch my brains LOL! This is the only time I haven't gaged with the tongue depressor...

Last week I went to my audiologist and had a check up. She said everything seemed pretty stable with only a minor progression in the highest pitches. Today, I went and saw my ENT. Let me start by saying, I have never really liked his manor with me. He is too rough with his instruments. Today he...

Hi, Its been a couple years now since I last said anything about my niece. Back then we thought she might have a pretty severe loss. The ENT suggested have her get tubes and her adenoids removed. They did that and her hearing seemed to return to normal levels, but that only lasted a couple...

I didn't like the glasses. They hurt my nose and I couldn't have the words on the screen. If I prefer the Doremi Captiview system. I would love to go to open captions but they don't show them anymore. I travel a bit out of my way to go to the only Lowes theater in my area just to use the...

Hello and welcome!

Could it be that your tubes are old? I couldn't get my tubes off the ear hooks when they got old and the audiologist had to cut them off.

In NY if you list yourself as HOH or deaf you will have a restriction on your license. All the restriction means is that you either have to wear your hearing aid/s or drive a vehicle with a inside rear view mirror and both sides of the car must have mirrors as well. No need for a medical exam or...

Make sure they have high humidity when they shed. One of mine went partially blinded from a bad shed. Otherwise, it looks like you are doing good! They make great quiet pets!

I don't go to RIT but have lived in Rochester all my life. There are a lot of things available to us Deaf and HOH people here. If you need help finding things to do contact me and I'd be more than willing to show you around!

Most speech therapist in schools can perform a very basic hearing screening. If you go to your counselor you can see if they would do that first. Then, at least here in my area, the district sets up an appointment with the district audiologist.

How was your childhood? It was a pretty normal childhood. Where you allowed to pay with others, Deaf and hearing? No I couldn't pay anyone. If you mean play, I didn't know any D/deaf or HOH people when I was younger Do/Did your parents support you in your personal choices? Yes as long as it...
