    Looking into CI

    Hey, BP, yes that's exactly what I mean! I definitely am able to still recognize and appreciate music still, something like the Star Wars theme still sounds great to me! I think when I get my second CI activated, hearing in stereo will make all that more of a difference :)

    Gmail down for hours!

    gmail has backups upon backups with geo redirection. if you see it down, it is more than likely an isp route issue on your end. this is google after all :p

    Looking into CI

    CI won't be anything like a hearing aid, no where near the same in sound quality when it comes from music if you're already used to hearing music through hearing aids, think of this as music with too much tone and not enough bass imo. that said, if you are deaf it is way better than nothing!

    Deaf and Depressed in Alaska

    I too lost my hearing suddenly a year ago, now everyone assumes I'm ignoring them and listening to an iPod or something as I currently have one Neptune CI with a white cover and white cord that looks similar to the iPod/iPhone earbuds! When I tell them I'm deaf the reaction is always shock but...

    Adobe Illustrator Help!

    Illustrator can be complex at first but you'll get the hang of it quickly. As others said, it's best to watch a video or follow a tutorial as there are several steps to do. You could also design the site in PSD and slice n dice that into css/html too!

    Apple Picking: How The iPhone Became An Object Worth Killing For

    i've had my second iphone stolen from me on the street. I was walking from the train and two guys literally jumped me, ripped the phone out of my hands, cut up my arm, and took off. hopefully karma will follow up with those douches. I had no CI at the time and was completely deaf which did not...

    CI and time off work?

    it took me about a week to go back to work last time, and they advised two weeks of no heavy physical activity. if there's any work you can do from home that would be ideal. i was able to use the computer and get some work done after the first couple days. it's not too bad, and if you could...

    Which CI?

    if you're happy with your nucleus, stick with it and get another. that way you can swap cords and accessories too. since the nucleus 6 is coming out so soon you may get a free upgrade to that even if you did get the 5 right away. if you're looking to try something different, AB's newNaida...

    Have you ever tried to wear CI or HA when you are sleeping in bed?

    no, that's one plus of being deaf - a quiet sleep! ironically, since becoming deaf I do find myself more sensitive to light. so if someone comes in the room / opens the door I'm usually aware and notice the light increase.
