I got two CIs in my 40s about 10 years ago. I have a love and hate relationship with them. Yes, they help me understand hearing people better but only if the background noises are quiet. My pros with them are music sounds better, lipreading is easier, and I can hear FAR! My cons with them are...

Hello, you can register for ASL classes at Community College Baltimore County. They have a great ASL program. I think some are offered online.

Yea, because I resigned from my previous job and there was a policy about taking 30 days to pay me my final paycheck. lol

I agree. Too many distractions at work. Finally all completed! Now, I dont have to worry about it for another year. The deadline was coming fast and I had a few left to do. I almost forgot about them. lol

Paying my bills after finally getting paycheck yesterday. Been over a month.

Welcome to AD!

I have a love and hate relationship with my CIs. I do not like having to hear EVERYTHING constantly. Wow...crazy. However, I love how music sounds with them compared to hearing aids. Plus, they do help me lipread better than hearing aids. However, ASL is still the language that is fully...

What's going on with the airlines? I am reading of so many cancellations. Staff shortage or people getting sick with Covid19 at the same time due to its highly contagious nature?

Not sure what I learned today. LOL

That's crazy! Your tank goes empty in one day????

So sorry! I hope there are no other complications from it in the long run. With this virus, we just don't know. GRRR! Wish science can work faster so we can understand it fully like we did with HIV after years of research and studying it.
