Welcome James, Very interesting resume. Looking forward to hearing/seeing:) more from you. I'm recently implanted with CI and gradual loss over many years. Due to loud noise in the early 50's. This is a very interesting site with people from all walks of life and experiences. I think all the...

I've had the Phonak aid on left side for a few months now and it is a fantastic aid. the neck loop works extremely well. I now have a CI in the right ear and am learning to hear with it. Just had my third tuneup yesterday and getting better all the time. Unfortunately the Phonak neck loop will...

WriteAlix; any information on someone that has both ha and ci and having music/sound/phone? coming to both from one unit. I have phonak and it's great with HA but does not connect to CI. wonder if anyone reading this has some suggestions/answers to this problem. thanks

Costa Rica is a very poor country, I've been there and at least what I saw indicated very poor except for the churches and they are magninificent. As to high cost of health care in the U.S.A. look at the cause. Attorneys and people wanting something for nothing. We need some realistic caps of...

Well, I really don't know if the wire is to long or to short but I do know that the earpiece keeps popping off and I've had the complete outfit land on the floor and have only had it less than one week. Don't know how many times its came off but do know I was planning to talk to my audi next...

Hi Ron; I'm definitely interested, I was out working on my plane yesterday and had to take my CI off as it would not stay on the ear. I have the same one you do and only activated a week ago. I would be most happy to beta test and also be very glad to re-imburse your costs. One thing I think...

You said "No point in wearing amplification if one cannot benefit from it. I know I wouldn't benefit from wearing a FM system because I didn't when I was in elementary school. So why start now? It's different for everyone regarding hearing aids and FM systems." You say you do not benefit? is...

First and formost listen to your Doctors and specialists. Find out what they recommend. It may be that hearing aids will work for quite some time and then again maybe not. Also there is the CI which seems to have proven advantagious with many people. Again it's not the end of the world, just...

A lot of good things/ideas in the posts above. After all it is all about communication period. A highly intellegent person who can not communicate that knowledge will be thought an idiot. On the other hand someone on the low end of the scale with very good communicaton skills will be thought of...

I keep a mod. 916 S&W 9MM . Very little target as it is expensive but makes for reasonable protection if needed. Yes I do keep it loaded with exception of one in chamber, just need to pull slide back and it's ready to go. They don't make very good rocks if unloaded and like the rifle,not really...

Txgolfer, you sure have that correct. Talk about govt. getting in the way. I was 118 days under contract to VECO in the Ak. oil spill so have a little first hand knowledge. First at NO time did the Government tell us what we could do and all the time told us what we could not do! Are you aware...

Know it will never happen but can see what needs to happen. First get rid of all the incumbents and when you do give them a retirement like most of the rest of us get, a percentage of salary based on number of years worked etc. Next they need to start over and get rid of about 99.99% of current...

Been wearing ha's for years, got implant on Feb. 2 and awaiting activation on the 2nd of March. The one I have is the Nucleus 5 but don't have my hands on it yet. Just the part in my head. If the rest of it goes as well as that part did I'm going to be in the clouds somewhere! Also new to this...

I agree cost is high but let's see some of the reasons for the high costs. First how long does it take to make the impression? Then it gets sent off usually to be made by someone or one's. then sent back. material costs, mostly small I would guess. Then they are delivered to audi or direct to...

I think you will find the information you want/need here. http://www.phonak.com/content/dam/phonak/b2b/C_M_tools/Hearing_Instruments/Naida/Naida_PowerHearing/22337_027_0580_02_Naida_III_V_IX_Product_Information_V4.00.pdf probably will have to copy and paste Hope that helps.

Do get aid for other ear and it will make it just that much better! Remember we have two of most every thing for a reason. Wish that applied to brains:lol: I've had digital for years now and finally down to one in left ear and get CI turned on March 2nd. One ear is the bunks but guess I will...

Having lived in an RV for several years I can tell you that you should NOT try and communicate except when you are stopped. Many reasons, size is one, they are heavy and do not stop on a dime. They do not maneuver like a small car and on the highway and in town especially cars will cut in front...

:wave:Welcome Ben; I'm fairly new here also. Just got my CI on the 4th of Feb. Will get it activated on the 2nd of March and boy am I looking forward to that! On the pain part, in my case it was VERY almost non existant. A mild discomfort was about it. I will say that I did everything the Dr...

Took me about three months from time of first evaluation until implant. I get mine turned on about the 7th of March. Rampratt

Change Well many of you voted for change and I guess we are getting it but don't think it is the change many of us wanted. No I did not vote for his highness and unlike the poster above, I was happy to see Palin in there. She is the ONLY one with common sense. I know some are upset with her for...
