well, its not really systematic oppression... you have 2 choices.. get Med-el now or wait for AB to come back or Nucleus funding to come back. I wouldn't really call it oppression. *EQL*

I have dealt with HMV before where I wanted to purchase a movie but we were unable to tell if it was CC'd or not. I spoke to the manager and she agreed to write on my reciept that I could return it within a week if it was not CC'd even thought it was open. It turned out not to be CC'd and it...

as for so no one else could see it.. you could cut one of those computer monitor privacy screens to size. They are just polarized plastic i believe, and relatively cheap. *EQL*

curious.. what is the difference between a 504 and an IEP? We don't have 504s up here as far as I know.. *EQL*

Why didn't I have an interpreter before? - at first I was able to use an FM okay but as my hearing deteriorated it got harder and harder. In May I asked for interpreters starting in September but the school was unable to find any, instead they provided me with a real time notetaker. They finally...

So funny story to share with you all.. so i was washing dishes.. and my vent plug in my left ear decided it wanted to commit suicide into the dishwater. My HA started feedbacking like mad so i got my roommate to pull it out cause my hands were wet. I thought the sink drainer would catch the...

Hey, I'm looking for a short article I read a little while ago, however I can't for the life of me remember where I read it. It was from a teachers perspective (in university i think) who had a deaf student with interpreters in their class. They assumed the interpreters would take care of...

cool. Everything seems to be good now. I'm loving it. Realized today just HOW MUCH i was missing out on before. I still need to develop some more self-esteem and confidence about being deaf.. i still feel like people don't want to work with me in groups and stuff, but im sure it will come...

AB is not supposed to be implanted anywhere at the moment, as all of the implants were supposed to be returned to AB. Yes Cochlear is not being funded for bureaucratic reasons which is why the current choice is only Med-El. *EQL*

when i first looked into it a few years ago they didnt have the opus2 out yet. They only had this horrible-looking opus (which when compared to what AB and Cochlear had at the time just looked ancient), and their website wasn't up-to-date. It didn't instill confidence in me that's all. But my...

O wow.. the size 13 in my naida's only lasted a week or less.. thats partly why i switched to the 675s. Thats awesome battery life *EQL*
