Thanks! I've been asking around with my friends too, I have a pretty tight knit group of friends from summer camp. Being mainstreamed in a rural area didn't give me any opportunities to have other Deaf/HoH friends. Any help or advice you can find is soooo appreciated! I've had that problem with...

Thank you so much for sharing your story! I got my BAHA when I was 16 after losing my hearing at age 6. It wasn't an identical experience but it was close.

I just e-mailed the Counseling department at Gally asking about the MA in Mental Health Counseling program. I also asked if as a Deaf/HoH graduate student who isn't quite yet fluent in ASL, would I be eligible for the Jump Start program (the new name of the summer integration program for new...

Can you get those ear molds in colors?

Haha I'm like that with so many things in Colorado. Oh-sah-ge not o-say-ge (Osage). Te-john not tay-hon (Tejon), Cotopaxi, Then don't get me started on Hawai'i. My dad is kanaka maoli, full Native Hawai'ian. Kamehameha, Kalanianaole, Ahuimanu, Hanakailio, Mokuleia... Actually everything I...

@Ryan B I've noticed as a Deaf/HoH person who was never taught fluent ASL, other Deaf/HoH ASL fluent folks are very empathetic to my situation and want to help me learn. I think we can all relate to all the crazy Deaf ed we were pushed into at school and a lot of signers were at one point in an...

Thank you so so much everyone! @cdmeggers I've reached out to Rocky Mountain Ear Center. I'm from Eagle County but I've been living in the Denver area for school. When I switched from Tricare military to Medicaid, I had to get a new audiologist. I waited for almost two months to get into the...

Okay that's what I thought. I have severe almost profound loss in the ear I need a new HA for, but have high frequency loss. Thank you for the response!

Yep I do live in CO :-) I used CART in some classes in high school, it was really helpful. So far in college I've used note takers and an FM system. I've had a hard time getting CART and things captioned. I decided to take online classes after battling with the head of my department (well no...

As I'm sure a lot of you have seen, I've been struggling to update my hearing aid after switching from Tricare military insurance to Medicaid. I've been looking at private companies where I can buy a new one out of pocket. I'm running into a lot of places that say they don't offer ear molds and...

Is there really a Deaf community in Frisco? I grew up in the Vail area and I was pretty sure I was like the only HoH/Deaf

Great story thank you so much for sharing! I don't want to sound anti-CI I'm definitely not. It's an individual choice between doctors and the parents, it's just important to get all the info. I think as long as CIs aren't forced as the only option and kids are prevented from learning sign or...

Our car was hit by a drunk driver when I was little. It fractured my temporal bone, which caused my hearing loss, gave me a TBI which made it worse and fractured my C 2-4 and T 9-10. I was lucky I was never a quad. I spent about 6 months in the hospital. I didn't struggle from too many problems...

Thanks, I'm actually just about to switch what form of Medicaid I'm on. Colorado has a program called Working Adults with Disabilities Medicaid Buy-In. I work full time and am actually getting another part time job. Full time at my job qualified me for regular Medicaid (under $1300 before taxes)...

Thanks, that's what I'm noticing. I've scheduled another appointment with somewhere I can pay for a new HA on my own and already the customer service has been so much better. Thanks!

<3 them soooo much, adorable! I'm getting new ear molds and I love those. Your baby is so cute too!

| Thank you so much, my doctor and my Access Center coordinator have both recommended DVR. I'll check them out. It seems so ridiculous HAs aren't covered! Since getting off Tricare, military insurance, I've had nothing but problems with Medicaid and my hearing loss. It makes me want to go to...

In Colorado I believe CI and HA are covered the same, which is why I asked. I know all states are different, and I was wondering if maybe anyone had experience with either in CO.

Can i ask what state you're in? Medicaid won't cover my HA in Colorado

Oh Ha ha yep. They're bright green but I put different patterned tape and stickers on them. I'm due for a new one though!
