That's definitely the outcome I am hoping for. Right now with my hearing aid I hear at 13%. Very discouraging and I constantly feel anxiety, depressed and isolated. I'm getting my first vaccine today and just waiting on the appointment for the CT scan. Sent from my SM-G900T using AllDeaf App...

I think if I went with AB my options would be Nadia or Neptune. I only have one friend who went with Cochlear but that's all I know on that. Those of you who have either brands are you happy with it?

Thanks for your reply! There are two things I really like about AB. The fact their partners with Phonak and they seem like they have more to offer than Cochlear. When you get AB does the Nadia and Neptune in the same box when you first get it?

Hey everyone! I finally went to a Cochlear Implant specialist and he gave me the run down to what to expect, process before and after surgery. He encouraged me to talk with anyone that has the implant done to learn from their experiences, brand they use. The brand choices I would have is...

I'm just trying to figure out what else I can do with art. I just don't want my time in college earning a degree go to waste you know?

I am a bit of both a invert and a people person (years of retail and food service forced that one into me). I can put on a game face and be tough when I need to be, my biggest concern was communication issues. I'm currently working on my ASL and attempting to becoming more fluent with it. My...

Anyone going to the Sacramento ASL Celebration Thursday?

So I have a very big passion for art, and currently majoring that in college but still pondering career paths I may want to take. I thought about becoming a art teacher.... My problem is I can't understand people when they talk (and as you know lipreading can be tiring). Out of curiosity...

And to think back in the old old old times this used to be normal :-(

I understand how you feel. There are times when I miss music and feel sad but I try to look at things in a more positive prospective. For me, I find other things to keep me relaxed like painting as a form of therapy. You could teach your daughter baby sign language.... which would really be...

Reason #437 Why being Deaf is awesome :D

I've already been through the sleep study and was recommended for the CPAP machine. I was diagnosed with OSA, I'm just trying to see if there's others on her who has it. Been smoke free for 4 years.... I snore so bad in every sleeping position that even my poor girlfriend hears me with her ear...

Part of my issue is weight, but that's only part of my problem. The other is I have a deviated septum and my jaw is pushed back a bit (born that way, forgot what it was called). I did a at home sleep study and responded well with the CPAP machine. I'm just waiting to get mine in the mail soon.

Just out of curiosity does anyone on here have Sleep Apnea? How did you find out? What treatment are/did you go through? I would just like to hear about some experiences, maybe some success stories.
