Did you or anyone have the beeping sounds constanly? It's 95% of the time it sounds like beeping. I thought this might be the brain's nerves working. Its' just so LOUD that it's nearly impossible to hear whats going on around me.

Thank you Jack! I appreciate it. :)

Yeah for real, first time for me LOL :D I guess I didn't feel the need before and now that I'll be driving back and forth for mapping 500 miles per trip, I wanted a phone for emergency. I don't understand so many things! I set up an email account but can not receive emails (testing from...

Update ... Im just so looking forward to the next mapping! The sounds are awful like a factory machinery or ducks or mechanical. I just don't know how to describe these sounds. My instructions for the week are to change from program 1 every few hours to the next program up to # 4. Changing...

I finally bought my very first cell phone - BB Curve 8310 :) I have so many questions about it and Im just lost without having previous experience with cell phones.

Run! Check the washing machine!

RayKat, Im leaving in the morning for Gainesville - 3 hour drive south and have to stay in motel overnight. So glad you are adapting. Do tell us more!

Oh NO! Can't be! I hope you find it.

RayKat, Im so glad your CI is working out for you. Yes, I kinda knew it would be an emotional roller coaster. I wish you the very best! I'm only 3 days behind you! Take care, Suzi

My activation date is Thursday April 3rd and second appointment is Friday April 4th. :)

Looks like Raykat will be activated today! :D

I had the Opticon and I must say they are extremely powerful aids. I was hearing unexpected sentences from behind me without lipreading and listening to old music. What is your hearing loss if I may ask?

why are my messages showing so sloppy? LOL!

Im so glad that I asked! I had no idea. Talking about noise, wow when those stainless pans drop on the floor - it's LOUD! I just didn't think about any of this. Was more concerned about smoke, greese and steam. I appreciate all of your help. :-)

R2D2, When I first got my 2 Opticon Sumo digital hearing aids, female voices sounded manish and unclear. Later I started picking up unexpected sentences from behind me not lip reading and things got better. This is sort of what Im expecting with the CI. I was listening to my old 70's music...

Thank you Lady Sekhmet. My eyes are much better now. I did rest and get comfty for the last two days. Took the head dressings off today and washed my hair, boy did that feel really good! Now I can wear my glasses to read the computer screen. :-) The surgern harly cut my hair! Im trying to...

Im home! Is it normal to have black & blue eye? Im just so uncomfortable, can't sleep and boy does my body hurt like if I were run over by a truck. Should I call my doctor?

Thank you! Ive waited a year for this date and now it has come! I pray this implant will be successful. I have nothing to lose and no way to go but UP! :-)

My CI date is March 18th - I have so many mixed feelings; nervous, worried, scared, excited, dreaming of better hearing, improving quality of life, teary eyes, happy, eager, the list is endless. I have been reading so many threads here at All-deaf. The more that I read, the more I want...

Hello! Wishing you lots of fun learning signing. It can be really lots of fun! After teaching my son (young age) the alphabet, he got bored so I turned on the music and he can sign songs. Just about every song has everyday words in them. Good luck! Suzi
