Your Audi not doing spin so much as being informative. It really is hard to believe how hitting bottom means you get to go back to the top as opposed to languishing in the middle. ... But I've been there as thousands of others have. You'll get there!

If you are referring to Prednisone, it is taken short term and is meant to stabilize your hearing or return it to the previous level. I don't know of any other drugs they use to treat fluctuating loss and it is far from experimental at this point considering the first time I took it was in 1981...

I think they key thing here is that YOU want to hear. There are many just like you who took the CI plunge and they are loving it! It won't necessarily be a totally different sound. Some have described it as what they heard with a hearing aid plus more. You may find your music enjoyment...

You need to confer with your child's Audiologist and Physician. They would be the one's to advise you on whether a CI would be viable for your child.

It depends on your insurer, but in general it is covered. At worst you may have to appeal any negative decision. There are procedures in place to help you. Your best bet is to read over cochlear implant HELP

There is only one manufacturer that meets the backward compatibility concept you have in mind... Med El. Also, Cochlear will not always give out processor upgrades to all implant generations. The N22 uses Freedom and not N5 or N6 currently because it is a different model from the N24. The...

Not everyone wants to constantly exert the effort to speech read, read captions that are way behind the audio or incorrect, wear glasses at the movies, or use interpreters. Yes, there are ways to cope, but coping is not the same as hearing with a CI.

I just spent an hour on the phone with Verizon using only my cochlear implant.... effortlessly I should add. It took an hour because we had a lot to cover. This is only possible because of the technology you say does not work. A decade ago I would have had to go thru the excruciating process...

The court sure did and they have reviewed the evidence far more deeply than you are able to.

I think so. If you are found guilty of plagiarism in school, what happens? A team of researchers and engineers put many hours of their lives researching and developing the technology in question. Why should their work be stolen and used to make a profit by others? Even if no profit was...

So you write a book. Another person copies your book, puts their name on it, and tries to make money off your work. Based on what you said: You don't care if you get paid for your work. You don't care if someone steals your work and makes money off your work. Alright.

They were trying to. Their released electrode arrays do not have multiple power sources.

Just keep smoking. Deep long drags.

Really? Unlike, Hoichi, I am able to see and understand the various points of view. Hoichi doesn't even try, just assumes that he/she has it all figured out. I shouldn't have to point out the obvious, but given the propensity to take everything literally here, I probably should just to be...

:roll: Why am I not surprised you have reading comprehension issues as part of your portfolio of problems. This is why you are being ignored in other threads by others. There is no dialogue to be had, just a complete waste of time.

So if I told someone that is new to the topic that Deaf people are all uneducated idiots on SSI draining the system and then you argued that I was ignorant while citing facts, I'd be correct in assessing that your Deaf fanaticism borders on the religious? Yup, exactly that.

Yes, when you are researching CI's you want impartial, factual information. You go to the official websites for the manufacturers when you have already pretty much made your choice. There are a number of websites that aim to provide impartial information away from the manufacturer websites...

In my case, bass, and music in general, is not higher pitched. Neither were voices at activation or at any point for that matter. The difference in my case is that bass is not as rich. This is coming from a former bass-head who used to love cranking up the bass knob/low frequencies on...

The internal implant is not removed. The magnet is removed in an outpatient procedure using local anesthetic. All that is lost is the ability to keep the headpiece positioned magnetically. You can use a hat or headband.
