1. Apr 2012 2. Immediately, but a couple months of tweaking to get it 'just right' 3/4. Direct audio input is the best for me, I can hear tv/movies fine without subs. Quiet environments do best with CI's, if it get's too noisy or there are to many people talking the CI just doesn't have the...

I've got an S2 and love it, I've found I hear the best with this phone using either speaker or even placing the phone by my CI. I struggled with the iPhone. My only complant is battery life, even with power saving apps I'll likely need to recharge it by the evening.

i've forgotten how to date. girls my age want to go clubbing, concerts, pubs... too noisy after 50 I would think you could wave a finger and get hooked up with all that experience and self-confidence!

:( Just know the younger they are the stronger they are.

Nekkid and got a new cat.

mumblers suck. my father tends to mumble too, there's not much we (deaf/hoh) can do about it, even lip reading doesn't work too well as they don't really form their words. my advice is to just be up front and honest about it, but in a humorous way. such as, "heh would LOVE to hear what you...

TRUTH: working online is very much real and very easy to do. FACT: unfortunately, advertising "I want to work online" does not work. There is a lot of competition online, and for some, $300-$400 bucks is month is all some need while still bringing the skills to the table. You need to run your...

what? nothing in life is easy. being deaf is just a bonus to motivate you further to succeed

well, I personally went with AB for the fact they seemed to offer more in terms of technology (At this time) in terms of hearing as much as you used to. i think this best relates to people who could hear once and had lost or are losing that ability. Here's some techo garble that inspired me...

Hi Alex, Good luck, I am heading into my second CI surgery in a few weeks for the left ear and have only good things to say about them. Sure it's no fancy hearing aid, but it lets me communicate with the world once more and no doubt will help you too. This is UNTRUE! I too was worried...

no I've not had issues and had to lose the wisdom bottoms shortly after the first CI. My only recommendation is to leave the CI at home while they're doing their thing :shock:

True, though in this blizzard out there it wouldn't be of much use The person below me has gone sky diving

Hi and Welcome! It's hard I know I went from hard of hearing to complete deafness overnight and understand where you're coming from. Nice to have you here, I'm sure you'll find lot's of similar stories and experiences to relate too!

sweet! let us know how it is. I've got the Neptune and will be going bilateral in Jan where I was told they'll include the T-comm as part of the kit. What do you mean you need a spare T-mic, does that not come with the T-Comm / something I have to order separately?

sad sign of things to come..

I spend nearly 6K on a pair of Agil's with the Oticon streamer - it was a huge improvement over my old CIC Music Pro's, that is, until I lost what was left of my hearing and moved onto CI's. I really enjoyed the Agil's bluetooth ability and found the sound quality to be quite decent. Ended up...

very nice! I noticed after the 3mo mark I no longer needed to use subtitles which was HUGE for me. Congrats :)

the theatres around here offer this cc device that you bring with you into the theatre. it's rather large / bulky and had the text displayed in a bright green. i would have to balance my viewing between looking down at the subtitles and up at the screen. i didn't find it too ideal. in TO I...
