If I were to get a CI, this is one of the main reasons I would have chosen AB. With Phonaks technology, I am confident their next processor will be far superior to Cochlear or Med-Els. I am expecting to see integrated FM in the next one (like the Naidas that can have integrated FM). *EQL*

Yes I heard that too..

You'd be surprised just how often that happens :S Not every single cause of hearing loss has been determined. *EQL*

Hi, this is not in the USA, but many Americans will come up for camp. In Ontario (Parry Sound) there is a camp for the Deaf that offers a 1 week immersion ASL program for hearing adults every summer. They also offer Fall and Winter weekend retreats. It is farther but is very decently priced and...

HI Everyone, sorry it has been a long time (years?) since I last posted. I am thinking of getting new HAs soon as my Phonak Naida UPs from 3 years ago are not doing so hot. One is eating through batteries and I generally can't stand the way they sound. I don't use them as often as I should but...

Been a long time since I posted here... Anyone know of any headphones that go loud enough for someone with profound loss to use? I'm at 80 at 250 and I can detect some music while at the bars near the speakers, so I'm looking for a pair of headphones or earbuds that I can get some music with...

hey, just writing a quick message.. going to bed so i havent had a chance to read all the posts. Im doing my Masters right now. i find it helps if the interpreters are provided with the powerpoints and everything ahead of time so that they can become familiar. I ask the profs to make sure they...

Kristina we are ear twins! *EQL*

Thanks I will. I am thinking of staying for a week after. Does anyone know if there are grants or anything available (in canada obviously) to help deaf people who want to bring an interpreter on vacation? One of my terps is thinking of staying the extra week with me and I'd love to be able to...

thanks all. Yes the university is paying for them. Legally they have to accommodate me. :D I can't wait... 3 weeks of sun and Ancient/Classical Roman art and architecture! Hooray! But yes, like Beb stated earlier, without interpreters there is no way i could understand the student presentations...

Just a line (sorry to make everyone jealous), I applied for and got accepted to go on a 3 week study tour in Italy for university credit!! Best part? I get to bring 2 of my terps!! Whoot! Can't wait for may! *EQL*

mine Naida UPs are red and black and my earmolds are red and orange and my tubes are red!!! im 23! *EQL*

curious.. what kind? it was recommended that i get tested for EDS but i never did.. *EQL*

really the Naida's are bigger? your new ones look bigger in the picture. Could you post a pic of them side-by-side?? *EQL*

i also am hypermobile but i have not been told that it affects my eardrum. It makes sense as most hypermobile conditions are cause by the fibrous tissues connecting the joints to be somewhat elastic (varying in severity). Since the eardrum (i believe) is also fibrous tissue, it would make sense...

perhaps.. i'm trying to find out if I can get one done here in the Niagara region. *EQL*

I, however, would like to know how they asked the Rats if their Tinnitus was better :S *EQL*

'Rebooting' brain could ease ringing in ears - Inform Scientists have found a way to ease chronic ringing in the ears, known as tinnitus, by stimulating a neck nerve and playing sounds to reboot the brain, according to research published Wednesday. There is currently no cure for tinnitus...
