Doubtful...most are young and just starting out....never seen them before.

Yes...take your hearing aides out, turn them off, put them in a safe place, then take your nap. After 4 or 5 times of doing this, you might be able to avoid the situation permanently.

For those of us that have been in hearing schools with no support system for the deaf, we recall the many students that have made us feel scared, unworthy, and hurt. There is a movie out there (currently on Netflix) called "The Final". It is a brutal horror film, and the nerdy girl did a...

If it were closer to me, I would check that forest out. Over here in the mid-atlantic, we have many choices of forests to ride in. So far the best I've experienced was the Allegrippis trail in Raystown, PA. There are 33 miles of MTB-only trails, and we were only able to cover 15 of those miles...

Three of my close friends have met their current wives while living more than 5 hours away from each other. Two of them used TTY's to chat one day a week for a few hours. The third used VRS. All took turns driving to see each other every two weeks or so, and they would spend a long weekend...

I have two, one was done in '03 and the other in '10, and I can say this....do one at a time, otherwise your brain will be overloaded. Plus, if you do both at the same time, and have medical issues, it will be harder to troubleshoot which side is the problem. Some folks are perfectly happy with...

Cochlear has two plans: One covers repairs only, and the other covers a one-time loss. The first one is a service plan, the other has an added insurance benefit. They are very expensive, yes...I have to pay $1400 per year for both for the service plan only. Some insurance plans cover the...

I would love to give a fellow deaf owner my business, but, trust is earned, not given. If you are bonded & insured, and your work is satisfactory, then you have my trust.

That is true. I tried practicing on the phone with just one CI, and it was difficult, although a handful of people like my sis were crystal clear. After a few years I eventually gave up calling people. It wasn't until recently when I was in my boss' new car when he made a call to another...

Bottom line....I don't trust any oil change places after some fraudulent experiences in the past. Yes, there are many good, honest places out there, but I haven't seen much. I do my own oil changes most of the time....does not save me any money, but it gives me peace of mind. If I am in a...

Yes, as long as the bike lanes are clear of snow and debris....the day is 100% sunny, and outside air temps are above freezing (at least 35°F for me). I hate it, though....due to the wind chill effect, I have to bundle up in layers, which makes riding less pleasant. MTB riding is more fun...

Yep, she should be going after the person that forgot to put the cap back in. $13K is probably the retail cost of a new engine at the dealer...of course that price is negotiable, but, the dealer 'has her by the balls' in this case. You say a "one year old Honda". If the engine is of a new...

To the OP: Most ENT doctors push for CI's, yours did not.... 1) He might have a true medical reason, 2) He may not believe in CI's, 3) He may not want to believe someone else can help you hear, 4) He is 100% sure your auditory nerve is dead, or 5) There might have been a communication...

Well said. p.s. My brother, who listens to right-wing talk shows, has a bunch of guns, and believes everything Fox news announces, told me that in many states such as MA and MD, if you are a registered gun owner, and you have been prescribed psychotropic meds such as Ambien, Lunesta (sleeping...

Hmm....how long have you lived in it? Usually 2 gas meters means 2 separate tenants living in there. Sounds like your house needs to have its insulation upgraded & energy efficient windows, etc, are needed if it is always cold on the first floor.

SBirn: here is my response before this thread is locked....that bike in my avatar is a '95 Honda Nighthawk 750...old, but not that old. The helmet is a GMax something, $130. Leather jacket is a Bilt Sprint perforated leather, on sale for $99. Bike is now gone, have a new V-Strom now, along with...

Everyone should wear optical signal processors as well. This way, the devices can filter out the ugly people, make winter look like summer, etc.

Are you really that bored?

You are right. It is almost as bad as saying "I have 10 million dollars, and plan to carry as much money on me as I can" Methinks she is bragging....wants people to think she is someone special.... The whole CCW thing is supposed to be low-key....no one is comfortable being in the same...

Looks like you already looked at it and have several replies.... You, and many, many other hearing people, need to stop thinking of us as a spectacle/aberration/anomaly to be studied as lab rats. Just because we flap our hands at each other, make grunting noises, and make weird faces, we...
