The company that I go to, er well used to since I recently found another place, charges $260 for earmolds. Silicon earmolds. Nothing fancy. I constantly wonder how they get away with it!

Has anyone paid $260 or more for a set of earmolds for your hearing aids before?

I plan on selling them to friends, at local fairs, and maybe in a few local audiologist offices. Maybe some online, I actually have one online sale now :) I don't want to have this be my main income at all. Just on the side and for fun.

My friends help me a lot. It is instinctive if I don;t understand something to turn to whoever is next to me for help. I will often do it without even telling the other person I am Deaf. I need to work on that...

Yes this sometimes happens to me. check to see if you are in a tcoil+mic setting - it could be part of it. That aside, this does happen to me. As Lisa said I hear camera flashes - very loudly at that. I have no florescent lights in my apartment because i can hear those if close enough, and for...

I took like a billion pictures and between each one had to take off my aid to change the charm (there are more I didn't post). I was surrounded by hearing family and they were yelling about feedback. Hence the off. yup coloured molds are just fine. Lime green and purple!

What do you guys think? Would you buy them for your aids? For your kids aids (if I made ones for kids)?

Oh for God's sake! I know how to speak. I know how to lip read. I can speak and lip read in English and in French. I also know ASL. I can read and write in English and in French. Communication has never been an issue for me and it never will be. I spoke to Dr. Chen and I read his lips. I...

I do one in FM+Mic and one in FM only...that works nicely for me.

I am not opposed to your view. Just your approach. I agree with you. I have met Tyler. He is INCREDIBLY auditory. He wants to speak, he wants to hear. It is obvious after only a few minutes. Amplification needs to be explored without a doubt. I can say that Cherie also doesn't think this...

yes. theycan stay til 21

This is an option I believe. If I remember correctly, I know a family who's child goes to Milton from Scarborough everyday.

The Demonstration schools are not a place for Tyler. Neither is the Brantford school as they only deal with blind and DeafBlind students. The ottawa school is french/LSQ. Milton has probably the best rep of our provincial schools for the Deaf. As far as regional programs Deafdyke - we don't...

I have tried the full range of Phonak FM's....I had the EasyLink, then moved to ZoomLink, then they gave me a SmartLink+. There is a HUGE difference in quality between the Zoomlink and the SmartLink+. I love the SmartLink+ and it is way less temperamental than the others I have used.

I disagree. I think Tyler could benefit from FM at this point. Tyler isn't an only child and there is enough back ground noise in the house that he could benefit. Not only in the house, but when they are out. I disagree with your statement about FM not making speech clearer. It does make it...

No, it was Suzanne Stewart. I just looked back at my emails with Karina Farrel. I don't speak much, by choice, so I tend to just use text on TTY. I can type very fast.

I don't use VCO, only text relay. It works the same as VCO really... I call 711, type to the relay operator (RO) what number I want to call. The RO calls, types to me what they say (same as VCO) and then I type my response and the RO reads it to the hearing person. We continue in this...

Exactly. I use TTY most of the time. not even VCO. I too bought my TTY at CHS. It is a VCO compatible ameriphone if you must know. My phone conversation, with my best hearing friend Eric, looks something like this... "Hi Eric!" "Hi Jen." "Want to do dinner at 8?" "K, u i o. An I...

If drphil wants us to have a poll, let's have one. Who wants to start the thread? I'm on my bb so it is a bit hard to do! I've got a 105-120db loss up to 1000HZ and nothing past that. I'm pretty gosh darn Deaf.

No, we had the same procedure. I saw Dr. Chen first ONLY because I had an emergency ENT consult due to something completely unrelated to CI or anything else. It was during march break and there were absolutely NO other ENT's in any of the hospitals. We tried at Mt. Sinai, at Toronto General, at...
