    HOw to wear the BTE Processor and Controller

    I'd probably use a cotton material instead of the mesh. I remember someone saying there aren't any real differences in how the microphone picks up sounds from inside or outside a bag. And your question is.... ? :)

    There is a new documentary about the Artinian family!

    Awesome! The Artinian family helped my family to jump into the CI world. We're now discussing bilateral implantion... why did Peter request for a second one and did he say his hearing improve or did hearing become easier to him? Also, did his speech improve at all after the bilateral...

    Help

    Lucia Maybe you can take it off and let your cochela heal for another couple of weeks. Maybe 3? And start from there with a light mapping? I hope you're OK.

    Bilatteral implantation forum

    Lilly's Dad I don't mean to pry but would they provide an interpreter if I requested for one? I'll have to check my schedule to see if I can really go or not. Thanks!

    Experiences with my daughter.

    yeah, my son has to have his on at all times so we wait until he falls asleep to take it off and conserve battery power.

    Experiences with my daughter.

    Cloggy, How much of her success do you think is due to dual CI's? We want to keep our window of opportunity open before it's too late. Thanks!

    My CI incision

    Hey I remember leaving the library on 141 and Big Bend Rd. years ago passing by an accident scene involving a motorcyclist. What I saw was crazy, I saw a sheet covering what looked like a helmet with blood all around it on the sides... This was before they built the new 141 and Big Bend...

    Son's CI surgery

    Well, there are things this site would have never taught me. Tonight I had a rude awakening but I thank God for this particular moment... tonight my wife and I met a mother in her late 20's and they had this deer in headlights look on their faces even with their seven month old daughter...

    Sound and Fury, Parts 1 and 2

    Hahahaha, old fart, it's "DVD", not "CD"! Just giving you crap, mom :D Part 2 brought a lot of relief to me and made my wife cry. A lot. We watched it after our son got implanted and I was relieved to see how much progress the daughter made because she was implanted at age 9! That is...

    Should I get a CI with my hearing going still??

    Are you happy with your hearing aids' service? Why do you want a CI? I can promise you from my son's experience, you will benefit from CI in terms of speech clarity (which goes hand in hand with how much you hear) if you've always relied on your hearing aids. I'm still undecided on CI and...

    Got HDTV?

    LOL that's OK. In your X360 guide menu (or whatever it is), go all the way to the last folder to the right and go to TV settings and turn on 720p (or 1080i) and change to widescreen. X360 won't change settings on its own, you gotta do it yourself. Let us know how it turns out, bud!

    Cochlear Implants Decrease Your IQ?

    I'm excited to inform you that Kentucky is on the verge of passing a bill where disabled students has a choice in which school he/she wishes to attend. In the light of Bush's no child left behind law, this bill is a loophole in the system that will benefit my deaf children in receiving the...

    Got HDTV?

    All my X360 games are up to 1080i but I know they can do games in 1080p. They don't do it because not enough people have those kick ass televisions.

    Got HDTV?

    What are your HDTV's specifications? 720p or 1080i or 1080p capable? And are you a gamer? If so, do you have X360 and how is the video lag on both of your HDTVs (when you have it turned on higher resolution, of course)? I also read that HDTV's does better (not perfect like CRT monitors)...

    Preserve resiudral hearing with Freedom Implant

    I guess the coin landed on the right side when I flipped between two brands. J/K :) Everything just felt right with Cochlear when I researched for my son's CI. I think ismi is right, no strenous activity the following weeks after surgery must be to allow the cochlea to heal & seal around on...
