I can understand that, I struggle with my hearing as well. I get anxiety every time my phone rings at work, it is a real struggle. Job interviews are tuf too, so far that hasn't been an issue for me not to say that it wont be in the future. I have had to ask them to repeat questions a few...

Its not rude its just frustration with trying to have a serious conversation and dealing with a silly argument of comparing the offensiveness of alcohol on ones breath compared to the smell of pot. Don't like the smell of alcohol then take a step back, smoke is much harder to get a way from. I...

Thank you, what you've said is very encouraging. I would like to think the same is true for my self in regards to being able to continue working and that my ability to obtain work in the future will be based on my current experiences and education. My frustration is with people who keep...

You don't have to disclose who they are or any personal information. Can you say what their job/career is? I'm not saying that its impossible to be employed or find a place as a deaf person, but what are the opportunities. I would like to know what they are, I've looked personally haven't...

I used to work in construction as well, but that can be difficult communicating measurements and tasks. I can see it done if you are not self employed where you have to bid jobs and acquire customers. So thank you for providing a relevant example.

How can you prove someone was stoned? Thats the whole point, they can simply say no I was stoned yesterday its still in my system. Alcohol is legal, pot use would be much more wide spread if legal and you could purchase it at every gas station and grocery store. Where do you guys go that...

Anyone having any success with this? I think this is a possibility if you are already employed and lose you're hearing. Getting through a job interview and getting the job is already difficult enough. I can't imagine winning the job over someone who will require less accommodations and will...

I would like to think that way, but is it reality. I'm not trying to be difficult, just realistic... I will likely lose all of my hearing and need CIs in the future in order to continue to provide for my family.

I see this come up a lot and I keep asking the same question. How do you support yourself financially as a deaf person without CI? I see you're a student, but what are you going to do beyond that? I can't hear much without my hearing aids and will likely have CIs one day. I have my hearing...

That doesn't help and that is the problem. It stays in your system 1-7 days or 12hrs so someone could claim they were high days ago. My concern wasn't with confrontational pot smokers, its being impaired. There is no way someones reaction times and alertness is improved by pot. You can...

When you say wireless does this still require a neck loop or can it connect directly to the device? Reason i ask is my Phonak hearing aids require the neckloop while my Resound hearing aids can connect directly to my phone with no loop at all.

I think we can all agree that is not perfect and nothing is going to be better then good natural hearing. Its an alternative and a tool. Just curious how do you support yourself without hearing? Not picking on you but I would honestly like to know, I've looked into this a few times and I...

My problems with it: It can't be enforced for being under the influence since it remains in your system too long. In other words, if someone broadsides me and puts me in wheelchair because they were stoned out of their mind, it can't be proven if they were under the influence or if it was...

Most businesses utilize land lines... For home phones I'd have to agree with you though.

I don't long board, but I ride a motorcycle with a full face helmet. I ride with my hearing aids on but turned down so that the wind noise isn't so loud but I can still hear what is going on around me. Hearing is important in that situation you need every edge you can get when you're on road...

No problem, thanks. Looks like we've already gone OT on OT :shock:

I switched to the Resound Linx, not cros. The iPhone connectivity is AWESOME. Phone calls wireless through HA Videos/music stream wireless to HA Turn phone into remote mic for HA The best part of all is you can control the HA mic volume indepently in each of the functions above. So I...

That thread looks so far Off Topic...

What do you ride? What kind of helmet do you have? Do you wear your CI or HA when you ride? Ducati Monster 1200s Shoei GT Air (love the internal visor) Wear my HA, turn the volume down.
