Diagnosis

[Vivie]

I was born profoundly deaf, mum knew from day one but had problem convincing the Doc's i was deaf... roll on 9 months i was offically diagnosed deaf, First phonak box at 2 years old or thereabouts. this was in the late 70's/early 80's

Same story as overthepond's , only difference was middle 80's

I also had my box hearing aid at 10 months old from NY hospital.Brand was Oticon.

At 5 years I got my first BTE's , analog.since then I've been through a number of them and I got CI just a year ago!
