I am glad it worked well for you...I guess I should get my other ear done also, and hope for good results also.

Thanks....It's something to think about.

I am curious about that. Does the transmitted sound to the HA side enhance your understanding of speech?...That is, do you understand better because you are hearing with both ears?...It is basically from the same receiver. What I am asking is if you turn off the HA and only listen with the CI is...

I recently transitioned from HA to CI...only on one side for now. The amplified sound in my best ear was loud enough, but the words were not understandable (garbled). I guess that was from the loud amplification. So, I had the CI in my completely deaf ear. And though it is far better than what...

If you have profound deafness on one side and decent hearing on the other side, I would think a while about the CI. I got a CI on one side, and now I cannot wear my hearing aid in the other ear. The CI transmits the sound at a different speed than the hearing aid...A split second difference...

So, he has the time and money to be an expert. What can you do? That's the benefit of having money at your disposal. What is it that you want to do?....Is he posting incorrect information? Is the situation that he is competing with you in being a culture expert in this area?....If so, just...

Get yourself to an Otolaryngologist as soon as possible (if you have not already). The audiologist is selling freaking hearing aids. What is the medical condition, is it repairable?...That is what you want to know. Go to a good name university hospital, if one is nearby. (Just don't let...

Focus on adapting to everything. It is only going to get worse as the hearing deteriorates. Do whatever it takes to have some hearing (Like someone suggested, look into CIs...If you do not have insurance, go to the state Medicaid office, look up charities on line, contact the CI manufacturers...

Hook up with a practice partner (or partners would even be better) that you can get together with on a regular basis...face to face. You have to practice continuously. Find someone local or nearby or groups meetings that meet regularly and "only sign". You must practice. Also, RULE #1 for...

I am not sure at this point. The HA ear hears garbled amplified sound. And the transmission time is different for both (that is the echo sensation). So, I am simply not using the HA...And thinking of a 2nd CI, as I have already been approved. ..So, I will think about it for a couple of months...

That is a good reply...LOL

That is a good description...'Lip Guessing"...We should push to make that the national norm for description.

That's pretty incredible if you can read lips...I stare at lips when people talk, and some doctors tell me "Yes, you are reading lips"...But I'm not...I am only focusing (like staring at a radio trying to hear).

I have been having the same situation...With my single CI I cannot wear my HA in other ear...the transmission of the sound is different for each one, so it sounds like an echo. I am having problems with getting the proper adjustments with the CI..Even after 2 adjustments , it is just not...
