    Concerned, can anyone help

    Today I went for a check up with my audiologist and she found a dramatic downward hearing shift in my right ear. . She did tell me she is concerned to know what is happening to that nerve from my ear to my brain. She made me an appointment with the ENT and she will do another hearing test...

    Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock - Questions....

    I would need the vibrating feature. I don't hear any alarm even if it is loud, unless I wear both hearing Aids to bed.? Such an uncomfortable sleep so I'm up before the alarm? But just a question for those who still have some hearing left, if it's as loud as they say, I wonder if it can...

    Wrist shake alarm?

    Thanks Annie and Sneakernet, can it be felt placed under the mattress? Just how far does the vibration extend, just asking because I do move around some? Just how big is the Sonic Boom Alarm? Sneakernet, is the wristband one size or can it be adjusted. I have very small wrists, and while...

    Wrist shake alarm?

    Thank you. Still didn't decide which is best. For now, I sleep with my HA's and the alarm set full blast. Think this wakes everyone up in the house and isn't appreciated, I really need something. I can't even hear thunder anymore, but can feel the house vibrating and see the lightening...

    Wrist shake alarm?

    Thank you, I was more interested in the wrist alarm waking me up for appointments or is this product not for waking a person up? I don't think the other one under the pillow will work, first because I move around alot, not to mention I sleep on 2 pillows but I can always use just one, but still...

    Bose HA

    LoL Bose use to have great speakers which may have contributed to my hearing loss, but if their hearing Aids are anything like their speakers, then it's bound to be good.

    What hearing aid would you recommend for severe-profound loss (in 2018)?

    I use to have Starkey and now have Oticon's with a remote that I have hanging off my neck that I use many times a day to adjust to hearing people and to adjust to environment sounds. The remote is simply the best. The difference between the Starkey, is the sound is more natural. With the...

    Wrist shake alarm?

    Hi, does anyone know if the wrist alarm comes in sizes. I have a small wrist, so would like to know before I order? I've decided to go with the wrist alarm because I may not stay put for the pillow one, besides I like to sleep on two pillows, so a wrist one may be better for me? Thank you.

    Shake awake alarm clock

    When I was at the Audiologist last, she gave me a sheet of various shakers and boomers to go over and pick from? Of course she said the most expensive was best. After reading this, I am confused between the shaker and the Sonic boom, and the flash,, first of all, sometimes I do find myself...

    What is the one thing which would make the biggest difference in the quality of your life?

    I think being respected and heard by the Hearing Community. Part of it, is not being able to communicate as before with friends, in doctor's offices, even in stores and banks. I always liked to talk, but now when I do, and they start responding, I can't hear them, so interaction is abruptly...

    Thank you for your explanation, kind of sounds complicated, but it all makes sense.

    Tinnitus is driving me insane.

    Yes, thank you, I heard that but why do they say that tinnitus can worsen your hearing, if it's a perceived sound by our brains, then how can that worsen hearing?

    Hearing loss Pet Peeves!

    Today was a little upsetting. Got a call from the doctors office and I didn't dare pick it up, so let the machine grab it. Well sad to say the receptionist wasn't very understandable. It's hard to make her out, so I will be lucky if my husband can.? These people were asked more than once...

    Hearing loss Pet Peeves!

    Just recently my husband bought me a used Apple Iphone for a try out, to see if it would help me, and I got a plan from Telus but it's only Talk and Text. LOL, my first cell phone. I have no data with it, and don't even use the phone part because I hear nothing at all even with my hearing...

    Any deaf people here who like rock?

    Actually I use to love Rock music and grew up on some classics. What has happened to me in the last few years, is I have lost tones, so the music and the singing sound different or I hear next to none of it at all. . I went through several of my favorites, hoping to hear something, and if I...

    Tinnitus is driving me insane.

    Yes, thank you everyone, it almost does seem worse when tired or stress levels are high. For me, it sure seems to worsen. I have mainly the loud factory sound, or like a snow plow running right beside my ears.? It's annoying. Some mention that they only have it on one side, but as far as I...
