I'm HOH, and I don't think it would matter if I dated a deaf guy. If I did, I would most definitely learn sign so that I could communicate with him. I personally only have had experience with hearing boyfriends, and all have always been patient with me and my hearing.

Any company that would fire someone based on their sexuality is not really worth working for, in my opinion.

I just started a new job recently, and I'm apparently out, LOL! I don't mind one bit really.

I finally was able to get my hearing aids readjusted. I had some of the gain reduced in some frequencies, and also had the environment sensitively cranked all the way up to high to allow the hearing aids to adjust faster. I also had 2 programs put in, one to get rid of background noise and...

Welcome, Justin. I'm also from NYC and recently joined here.

They're digital. I've worn digital hearing aids for the last 6 or 7 years, so I'm not new to digital hearing aids. I have a feeling it's my audiologist not being that experienced with the brand. I'll find out on Wednesday when I get them readjusted. If it doesn't go well I'm going to request...

Thank you for the compliments, SnAzZyStyLe2002 and Byrdie714. :)

I'm out to those that need to know. If asked, I'll respond honestly.

My username comes from my admiration of Stephen Sondheim as a composer/lyricist. I love theatre in general, but have a particular fondness for Sondheim musicals.

With my new hearing aids right now, I'm experiencing amplification where I don't need it. So my experience has been LOUD. Papers rustling are loud to me now. Sounds are crisper. Doors slamming, drawers shutting are sometimes painful to me. I don't like how I can sense the hearing aids...

I didn't get the mypilot, but I ordered an iCom. Hopefully that will show up by the time my 1st follow-up appointment rolls around in 2 weeks. Thank you for the journal suggestion, Adam.

Welcome, I'm relatively new here as well.

Welcome, Rocky!

Welcome!

Yesterday, I finally received my Phonak micro BTE Certanas! Now, I've worn hearing aids since I was in kindergarten, so I'm used to the process of getting hearing aids, and the repeat visits to readjust them. I went to pick up my hearing aids yesterday, fully expecting my audiologist to...

I can remember one moment when I got new hearing aids around the age of 12. I finally had decent hearing aids with the right amount of amplification. I was in the lobby of the hospital, and I could hear coins dropping into a payphone. I remember getting so excited at just being able to hear...

I'm a registered nurse in a burn ICU. Sometimes all the beeping alarms get on my nerves, but overall I really enjoy my job.

I'm HOH and live in the hearing world. I've worn bilateral hearing aids since kindergarten. Initially, I was classified as a handicapped student, but my parents fought this and had me mainstreamed in school. I was enrolled in speech therapy and lip-reading through elementary school. My...
