I'm pretty sure it is. It was one syllable words only with a vowel in the middle which is why my score was so "high". I was told to repeat anything I could hear so I did and it ended up only being vowels and only on a few words.

I am officially a candidate. My newest audiogram is: 250-500-1000-2000-4000-8000 100-100-110---110---nr---nr (both ears unaided) 45---45----45---55---70---80 (aided) <----but these aren't accurate since I have phonak's sound recover that moves high frequency down. Unaided speech audiometery...

I don't have FM boots but I have DAI boots for both my Naida's. One Naidia is transparent and one is beige (long story, but I I could send them in to be recased as long as it was within 1 year of getting them but it took 3 weeks for one and I couldn't go without both for 3 weeks), they both have...

My insurance says they don't cover CIs but if you appeal they suddenly do so.... I'll be working with the implant company if I am given the go ahead to work on the insurance front. and Ambrosia, not funny with the broken leg joke. just got out of that wreched boot!

Like the title says, getting evaluated tomorrow. If you are so inclined, hope/pray/wish that my hearing is crappy enough to get a CI or two.

I'm late to the game and honored that my science know how is appreciated. Any number of things can cause decreases in hearing and it could be that the former better ear is easier to spot decreased hearing because it is relied upon so heavily. Not knowing the illness, treatments, etc, I'd just...

I was supposed to meet with an audiologist to discuss the Naida CI but I had to cancel because I hurt my leg. Argh.

For this child it probably has something to do with the fact that he has MILD hearing loss and if the school district actually did what they were supposed to do 2 years ago, he might not be behind his peers. I may be a controversial opinion but mild hearing loss is a problem but it can nearly...

These days I'd consider myself "passable" as in I can get my point across in ASL and can understand ASL. I'm much better at receptive ASL than expressive ASL. I grew up with interpreters and surrounded by ASL and spoken English. But these days I have the most powerful hearing aids and have small...

This is unacceptable. Request a meeting with the principal and whoever is in charge of deaf and hard of hearing students for your district. I remember when I had spelling tests, my teacher spoke the word and if I didn't hear it I could ask her to repeat it in front of me (my hearing was mild...

I wear super power hearing aids (as do many others who have replied) so obviously my experience won't be the same as yours. For me, headphones with my hearing aids are out of the question because of feedback. I can't even wear my hair down (I have long hair) because of constant feedback.

Don't beat yourself up. I had used ASL interpreters in large graduate school classes and it was definitely helpful but I had to ask the interpreters to switch to a more English word order/sign exactly what the professor says because in advanced classes it is often confusing when the interpreter...

But in all seriousness, your son is having problems that aren't related to his mild hearing loss. He may have mild hearing loss IN ADDITION TO APD or maybe even auditory neuropathy. He may need to have his hearing aids adjusted by someone with more experience. He may need listening therapy. He...

Oral death seems a bit extreme. Sorry, I needed a chuckle
