[QUOTE="malus handle, post: 2549221, member: 97655"] A couple of stories. My son Evan and his family retired from the U S Army, after 21 years & 14 days:welcome::dance2::dance2:He has an Italian family and they came here to celebrate and Transition back to Italy. With the Virus, it kept him here for 55 days, instead of the 15 that they had planned. My other son Zane, and family live 4 miles down the road, so for 55 days, my whole little family was together again. as I listened to them talk to each other, as always, it was 360 degree un decipherable words, and so I tried an experiment , that I had tried before. I rolled up a foam ear plug and put it in tight. as it expanded, voices started to go away, first my son's deeper voices, then the barking dog, then the 5 grand kids chatter went away, then the female voices muted, but were clear. It was strange "seeing" them talking, but not knowing where they are, at first, and that hesitation, knocks my conversational skills right out the window. I would walk around nodding my head, and smiling, not understanding a word, unless, as you said, they are standing close in front of you with their eyes. But I didn't really have to hear them, after 40 some odd years. Hand talk and body language works just fine. Out in Public where it is mega sounds, 2.0, I don't do well. But a crazy thing if I put my ear plug in, and put my conduction phone on, it's much easier to get about, and that Harley that just went by, didn't make jump out of my shoes, and listening to my favorite music on my Kindle in my back pocket, really lessons the tinittus, and the vertigo feelings. Walking a strait line with vertigo, is hard, but with a little music in my ear, my feet seem to no where to go. Alan Watts said that we were supposed to dance and sing along the way., and in the dance, you don't plan where your foot hits the ground. still experimenting with new pathways. It has become quite soothing when I block any noise from my ear. Then with my conduction phones, only let in what I want in, that way, my brain has a much easier time for making new pathways. Staying calm and focus on every project, puts the tinnitus, and vertigo in the back ground. question, can a deaf from birth person play sounds on an Indian Flute? and then can they feel the resonance of the flute. My friend is a piano tuner, and when he tunes, he first cuts off all appliances and motors, and evacuates the room. He has perfect pitch and uses his ear. He strikes a tuning fork and bites on to it with his teeth. He says that every bone in his body is resonating, and all he has to do is touch the piano, and it vibrates with him. In a way, that's how the conduction phone has helped me cypher my new world.

You guys are great, Merry Christmas I am long winded, but my hang glider friend says, "well at least we've got the wind" [/QUOTE]
