I was looking out for something like this and I can not find a headset that will stay on my head, I have been looking at children's headband that attached to hearing aids and seeing if there is a way to get some thing like that but for an adult. I have currently not found anything. Please let...

I managed to donate my old aids, 32 plus batteries and a couple of the pipe cleaners and a tough case. Even though at my last appointment I got told they could not do much. This appointment they took everything willing and I am pleased that I was able to give back something that may help others...

Normally it is my husband that asks me 'do you have your ears turned on', I go 100% deaf if I have them turned off so I would not hear anything. But to be fair to him. He asked me alot because my old aids just so darn temperamental so it was usually when we was out and he knew if they cut off I...

No I have not, I hate that noise with my old ones, I usually turn them off in the bathroom. Or take them out. It's a no deal.

I just got my first ear moulds yesterday, the hearing aids that use domes are usually a complete different batteries, (bigger size) also the tubes for domes are real skinny and twitsts onto the aids but with the moulds the shape of the aid is complete different it has an extra plastic tube from...

I have found it easier to read lips with facial hair as my husband has it. So for me it is not an issue. But if you only catch some body with this now and again I can see why you would struggle. Listening to his voice yesterday with my new aids was so fun. Once the distortion was taken down he...

well yes my brand did change, my batteries are now a different size too. but my new ones feel awesome

Oh the difference in sounds is amazing, spent almost an hour with my audiologist and she was so nice. Made sure I understood everything. I was told that I can donate my old aids, batteries since the new ones are a different size to the previous ones and cleaning pipes. So I have done that...

Ok well I will make sure I tell them :) only 2 hours left before I have to be at the hospital. Is there any other last minute suggestions or questions I need to ask. It has been a little while since I have used aids and first time with ear moulds

I am very lucky with this one, my husband goes every where with me. Do you have a friend or someone to go with you? It is not always ideal to have a person at your side 24/7 I point to my ears and shake my head or point to my ears and make a gesture to say no then mouth sorry. Even though I...

Yes I don't lip read, but I do use the face to try work out what a person is saying. Sometimes just a slight movement of the mouth can make you understand a word or 2 that you missed. I also suffer from social anxiety so looking at people is not always the easiest for me. I can normally tell you...

So since my first post here, I have had a bit of a rollercoaster of a journey with me learning about being deaf/Hoh and becoming more tolerant of myself and others. I have noticed that without thinking about how life changing being Hoh/ deaf is I am always with my husband and today we walked...

Oh just an update here, I get my ear mould in less than 8 hours. It is currently 2am for me but I keep getting bouts of feeling sick as I am really scared. Also I am worried about a slight pain (inner right ear) I have had in burst for about 4 days do I need to tell the audiologist tomorrow...

You know I was cleaning my ears and I can not hear anything at all once I put the oil in my ears. house mate was talking to me the whole time and I didn't have a clue they got slightly mad and called me ignorant. They go into a silk with me for not listening. They knew like 10 mins prior that I...

Also as my above stated I did manage to get the appointment checked. I went to my GP and they phoned the department for me. It was a bit of a pain as they expect my husband to don it. But after about 20mins of trying to explain I got what I needed. There was also a mix up and I was given a wrong...

I found out I needed aids in 2016 so I am very new, my appointment is in like 8 hours and I am kinda of on edge about going. Earlier today I also realized I also have physical therapy a few hours after I get my aids so I am super on edge but looking forward to hopefully hearing what people are...

Do not want people to private message me unless I have given permission first! I like speaking with people but my anxiety spikes when I have to reply to messages that are unexpected. Please ask on one of my posts before sending me an inbox message.

I have got my new aids coming on the 15th. I just had a thought. I know this time i am getting ear moulds. But will i also get the main aid change? I currently have siemens teneo S+ Is my brand going to change since i need a stronger aid this time?

Taking notice of how I listen/Talk Lip reading i have to sometimes watch a mouth to guess what is been said. I would say i understand more if i have a mouth to look at but i don't just relay on this. I have also found that i can hear things behind me. So maybe this is why i use a mouth to help...
