The bit I find awkward is when you're "severe" because that doesn't work with "deaf" I don't think. People know that when you're saying"mild" you mean that you're a little deaf. But the adjective "severely" to describe something normally means it's worse than someone who is just that thing -...

I can't use anything that goes through the hearing aid, because whatever program it's on the distortion and pitch shift is in there. I have half the Connevans catalogue in the house. Next up to try is a bone conduction band with my old body worn radio aid, seeing as I can buy that without a...

I don't know really where this belongs because it's sort of tech and kind of culture and all sorts. I am having an issue with my work. I work in the music business, and it's becoming increasinly apparent that my hearing is a problem. Specifically that it's my hearing that's a problem rather than...

Just so you know, hearing aids aren't that good at helping with direction either. Your two ears still wouldn't be balanced. As someone who wears two aids I can tell you this is still my biggest issue, even though I have a matching set left and right with special programs to help with direction...

Thanks, gave it a try over there.

My hearing is a relatively similar shape but further down the graph. I have what would be considered a very odd fitting for my loss bit it works for me. I fine certain noises painful and also not that useful to comprehension as I can't tolerate them existing, pls plus it's all distorted. I can...

I never did find out what it was, but I had it the whole time I had Siemens aids. I'm now using Phonak and no sign of the noise at all. Mine was like there was an angry wasp in the hearing aid flying round and round. It would be clear for a few months after programming then start again and do it...

That's rough that they suck that badly. :( I never went for them in the end as I didn't get on with the sound of Siemens aids. I managed to rig a pair of waterproof Bluetooth headphones to a microphone transmitter to improve my hearing when swimming. It's not ideal as the mics are not on my...

Quick question, I've given up trying to get this answered by them: is it possible to have a Phonak hearing aid which has audio shoes AND a safety battery lock? Because you swap the battery case to the modified one to fit the shoes, I can't work out if/how you can keep the paediatric battery lock...

Any comments on this system? I am sick of missing everything and this integrated option suits better than any of the truly stupid options offered up by social services. But it's expensive, so I want to make sure it's better than similar things I've suffered through, like the wireless alarm...

Remember that usually each time you make a new Bluetooth connection it resets the volume to the middle. Does that every time I get in my car, no idea why. Is that program maxed out on your hearing aids?

Only either permanently by the Audi or by using the remote. It's technically possible for the nhs to provide the remote but itit's unlikely, they won't provide me one and I have a fluctuating loss with a narrow range in one ear and a wide range in the other side, so I need the volume radically...

Wandering from the topic but I noticed you mentioned this in a number of threads, have you been thinking about what you would do next? Would you go with the total BSL path, stick with HA and hope your R ear will manage, would you consider CI or are you not at all sure? Must be a bit of a...

They do indeed, but ratings are laboratory specifications, not guidelines for life. The new one is better able to withstand the splashes that the old Naida was rated capable of, but is not resistent enough to gain the next category. Basically, you can walk under heavier rain, but that's not the...

It's also good for working out whether a hearing aid is genuinely not helpful or if the person has not worked out how best to use it. For people with no previous experience of hearing aids they may say they cannot hear in this situation and that situation and it turns out they have never engaged...

They all seem to think you know how to handle the most basic social situations and want to achieve certain ends. I just want to not p people off! I don't know how to tell if a conversation is open to all or if it's private between two people, for example. I always thought unless someone came...

I think because children have a wider range of influences than just their parents. Perhaps some have encountered positive influences at school, from a ToD, a neighbour, the girl scouts, whatever. Some kids are naturally social people who long to be the life and soul of the party and will put in...

How do other dhh people feel about making accidental noises? My husband tells me that sometimes I'm sitting reading or something and I'm making squeaking noises or something. I tend to do something like hold my breath a bit and make a snorting noise. I find it a bit embarassing to think that I...

Am I misunderstanding about the colours? I buy the Nucleus 5 processor covers for my hearing aids and there are about 16 colours of them which just snap over the processor so you can change the colour every day if you want to. There is one size of cover for the standard or zinc air battery case...

There has definitely been an element of that, people feel that Lou is a weaker overall player and has few talents but for being The Hulk all the time. But then again they don't let him play the game, because they keep saying he can't do this and can't do that because he has this "handicap". They...
