I've never done that... I've been wearing my aid (can only wear one) since I was 4. My problem is sweating. I love to work out at the gym but I get totally drenched in sweat. Thats the reason Im trying this Naida. I also have a pt time job in Catering...outside, in the summer in heat and...

I'm happy you had a good experience ! I have my audie appt this morning and I'm not looking forward to it. It doesn't help I feel rushed because she books 30 min appts always back to back and there is a lot of work that I need done. I can bet anything that it all wont get completed...

Just a comment. I know what it's like in between worlds. I have almost no friends. I am totally deaf in my left ear and I get by with the aid in the right. Im too hearing for deaf people and not enough for hearing people. I tried to learn sign, I don't know anyone to use it with so...if you...

I don't like going for the earmold. Takes 10 minutes to make and 2 weeks to "ship it off" to the lab. Everything always has to be sent to the lab. Why can't an audie have a lab in their building? It's not that complicated. My old H.A. is being repaired. It was shipped off to the lab for 2...

Jiro...so what is this line of work that you make so much money and have all this free time? HIRE ME!

One other thing: My audie says that I can return the aid. But then she said I will be charged $350.00! (The aid itself is $2000.00) If she cant program it to be crisp and clear when I see her tomorrow. I will return it and Im going to refuse to pay the stupid $350.00 Thats just plain WRONG.

I've been in Investment Mgmt for most of my life. Let's put it in a more honest statement: I'm a paper pusher in a 8 X 6 Coffin from 8-5 Mon - Friday. I coordinate the flow of cash and assets between Banks. What I'd really like to do? I'd like to quit my job, go to school full time and...

Friday? Im off to complain to the audie and then go to work. After work...go home and hope there is something on TV.

Deafdoc: I will look into those you mentioned, but Im not able to find anything in my In-box. Since Im still new with this board Im not sure where my in box on the board is?! I also checked my home email...nothing their. alan1626@aol.com (still a newbie)

I am severe / profound deaf. I can't hear anything in my left ear and in my right ear I can hear only with an aid. (Not exactly well with this new aid but aside from that). I don't like to go into being disabled. I can do anything anyone else does just in a different way. I would be proud...

This old man doesn't like young girls! Now get out of here before I beat you over the head with my cane! and throw my H.A. at you! lol

Yes...thats exactly correct...muffled and slushy... I was going to say... like peoples voices have a big blanket wrapped around and the sounds are not crisp. I really have to focus on trying to listen. I hate going through this. People at work kept telling me that I was talking very loud today.

Ok... I got my Naida III SP. The fit is wonderful and it's so small for a bte. Thats the good news. I have already scheduled an adjustment for friday because I have trouble with the phone, the radio in the car sounds muted and everyone at work sounds cloudy and it's hard to hear from a...

I have a couple of wrinkles that doesn't bother me. It's the steamer trunks under my eyes first thing in the morning that tick me off... after I finish paying for my h.a., my lasik Im going to those bags removed. But the wrinkles....I've EARNED. What kills me the most is when I go to the...

I won't rent a movie unless it has CC on it. My TV is set up for Closed captioning. I wouldnt have it any other way. I stopped netflix because they weren't cc. My personal opinion is that every movie and tv show should be CC'd. What ticks me off is when sometimes Im watching TV and the CC...

This morning, I am going to get my Naida H.A. - Only the one as my left ear is totally deaf. I really appreciate all of the comments because it gives me an idea of what to look for and watch out for. It will be a good test day because I have to go into the office afterwards. What Im not...

Being deaf is not the worst thing ever. I can take off my H.A. and hear nothing but the beautiful sounds of silence. I sleep in peace and I can relax. Do you know how rotten it is to have to go to the office every day and (with my H.A. and have to listen to all the white noise, computers, air...

I'm really enjoying this site. There are a lot of very nice people here! :wave:

I will be 45 on July 2. I feel like I'm 21. The nice thing is people are shocked when I tell them my real age because I look like Im in my early 30s. ( Except when I wake up in the morning and before I have had my first cup of coffee!) :laugh2:

You guys are scaring me. I'm due to see my audie on Tuesday and am about ready to cancel and ask for something else. Is there a better brand?
