You sound cool! I went Deaf as an adult, know ASL, my husband is Deaf from birth. I know a LOT about Equal Employment Opportunity from helping other Deaf who were discriminated against at their jobs and have read almost every page of the EEOC website. I also am an ADA eligibility specialist for...

Got it! The Agram is supposed to be set to your general audiogram shape. Looks like the hearing aid is a 2 channel hearing aid and is meant to offer different levels of amplification of the high frequencies with the most amplification of high frequencies to the left and more mild to the right...

If they leave the captions on for a week or two they will get used to it.

I'm not an audiologist but I know about analog Ha's and enough about audiology that I program my own digital HA's. I could help but i can't get the pics to load for me.

Yeah I totally agree with promises that imply never changing. He and I actually make it a point to pretty much never promise anything. I told him that the CI won't change me - he said that there is a chance it could. I didn't really argue with him about that because it's true. It *could* change...

He is and has always been sort of insecure in our relationship. It's something he has been working on pretty much the entire time we have been together (3 yrs). he has made a lot of improvements actually. i just asked him if he is afraid I will maybe break up with him and go find some hearing...

I agree with your perspective. The reason I am seeking opinions of Deaf is that I would like to understand Adrian's perspective better.

1. I met him when I started losing my hearing. I was like "whelp, looks like I'll be going deaf, may as well learn ASL" and one thing led to another. 2. Yep, I did. He understands that part. 3. Nope, he doesn't object to my leg and I have used that as an analogy with him. 4. Yes, he does...

Actually he may have changed his view on this since. I'll ask... ...yes, his view has changed on this. He wouldn't want our future kid to get implanted either.

I’m asking for feedback or advice from **Deafies** for this post. Background: I became Deaf as an adult. I recently went to have my hearing tested again at the audiologist and was told I am a candidate for a cochlear implant (CI). My S.O. Adrian and I have discussed CI’s in the past many...

My hearing loss is from EDS. Sent from my XT1080 using AllDeaf App mobile app

Hey kids! I will be speaking at this event, Skepticamp 2015, which is a science and critical thinking conference on Aug 22, 2015. I will be speaking about neurology, especially about how we learn about the ways in which the brain works by studying the differences between the brains of...

Today I learned why margarine is called margarine. In a chemist’s lab. French scientist Michel Eugene Chevreul discovered a new fatty acid in 1813 that he dubbed acide margarique. Chevreul’s discovery contained lustrous, pearly deposits, so he named it after the Greek word margarites, for...

Does anyone know the regional New Orleans sign for "French Quarter"? My guy and I are going to New Orleans for Mardi Gras this year. =D

http://www.tecear.com/Music_Link.htm for $50 I found these interesting headphones which use the t-coil on HA's. They have little hooks that hook on your ear; the other end goes into your standard audio jack and using t-coil it seds the signal through your hearing aids. I'll try this!

Damn! After waiting two weeks, I have been informed that Phonak does not make my shoes anymore. I can't afford newer HA's. Sadness!!

http://www.deafequipment.co.uk From here ^.^ It cost me right about $100 for two audio shoes, the cord I need to plug them into my phone, and shipping.

For anyone reading this thread because they have the same question I had, currently direct audio input shoes and the cable needed to plug your hearing aid(s) into your music player are available and I ordered those things. I'll update when I get em.

Yup, that's me!

Why yes, in fact I am the person with the Lego Leg!
