No worries, all is well now it seems. DNS propogation does take some time. Thank you for looking into this :)

Earlier today my attempt to browse alldeaf.com was met with a 403 Forbidden notice. I have attached a screenshot of the incident. I remember having a similar error a few weeks ago. Other than those two errors, I have not had any problems browsing this website since joining and my computer system...

@ErinC Thanks for sharing! I just went through cochlear implantation and am having great results. I am profoundly deaf in both ears and currently have a Cochlear Nucleus 7 in my right ear and a Phonak Naida Q50 UP in my left ear. I've had a few digital hearing aids over the years but they are...

Yesterday I had an appointment with my audiologist to fine tune the cochlear implant in my right ear and fitting for a digital hearing aid in my left ear. The first thing that was done was to re-program one of my old digital hearing aids (a Phonak Naida Q50 UP) to help me with sound in my left...

It is definitely worth getting :)

I didn't feel that a Kanso would stay in place as well as the Nucleus does. I run and have an earmold attachment to help secure my sound processor.

It's surgeon-specific, could have to do with the method used for implantation. Maybe he wants the incision to heal before putting a sound processor over it. They didn't use sutures with me, they used Dermabond, and my incision was healed in a week.

Nice! You have a wonderful sense of humor :)

I've done a lot in my 54 years, I only got 4 points :neutral: Eaten sushi Been to nyc Got fake nails Gone zip lining

Thank you for the feedback, Everlucent, that is good information. I got my right ear implanted on the 9th of this month and it was activated a week later. At first, everything sounded "robotic", but after using it for two weeks things are beginning to sound like I remember them. My audiologist...

Thank you very much, this is good to know. Well, if the tinnitus doesn't change, it will be no worse than it is now.. at least the CI will help with hearing.

I wonder if jellyfish are sad that there are no peanut butter fish.

What you need is to seek professional psychological help. Asking total strangers for this type of help is dangerous. Leave the internet alone for a while and find a qualified therapist who is able to conduct a proper examination.

I have suffered with tinnitus for 25 years. After getting a CI in my right ear, I noticed that the tinnitus in that ear was almost eliminated. Would it be fair to assume that the tinnitus in my left ear would also be drastically reduced when I get my left ear implanted? I have to wait for 6...

I chose Cochlear for the following reasons: Functionality: The Nucleus 7 CI has 22 channels, more channels than the competition and long-term (+10 years) expectations are higher Interaction: The Cochlear remote control is smaller, and made better, and provides feedback via the included LCD...

But, you are a "tourist in a foreign land".. at least for now, so try not to be scared. Just be yourself and don't be afraid if someone corrects your signing - which will eventually happen. When I got into ASL, I went into it as if I were a student going to school knowing that the teacher may...

You know, I think you're right. I was given an information packet on my first visit to this hospital 6 weeks prior to surgery. My information packet states that the wait between surgery and activation is "typically 1 - 2 weeks". So, yeah it must be clinic-specific.

Hi Aaron. I was scared out of my mind too, being that it was my first surgery, but it was fear for nothing.. I don't even remember falling asleep. They put the mask over my face and the next thing I remember is waking up in the recovery room after the surgery was over. It seemed like it was all...

Yeah, you can usually tell when someone is fake understanding.. they're just nodding and smiling when they should be responding to something. I don't mind having to repeat myself or sign slower, I would much rather have to do that than have my time wasted signing when the other person doesn't...

Today marks the end of my first full week of using a cochlear implant, it was also my first post-activation programming session. It appears that I am adjusting to my CI quickly and things are going well. The first thing my Audiologist did today was run a diagnostic because I dropped my sound...
