So audi and I are looking into new hearing aids..again lol..ah well what can ya do...I am getting new earmolds as well! Diff material (soft) and smaller vents i believe...and ....they are going to be.......zebra print! :) I decided to be funky this time...Have to see where my speech scores are at...i feel frusterated when tkn to ppl.... Apparently I like to "ignore" people...pfft So, since my hearing has progressed further I am looking not only for new hearing aids but the possibility of CI as well...newho just wanted to share :)
 
How much did you lost? If you have audiogram
And what kind hearing aids you're looking at?
 
Ya Zebra!!:)
Dunno how much I've lost but i can tell when it's gone down, I have a audiogram soon lol...and I am looking into the phonak exelias and the naidas i guess

Better go for the Naida's if you have DPHL. They will last longer as your hearing seems to be dropping pretty fast.

I don't think Alicia has DPHL, it is very strong in families where it is present and Alicia is the only one in her family with hearing loss. She has a progressive loss but probably not DPHL.
 
Mod note:

Ok, that is enough... play it nice or expect a PM from the mods.

Thanks
 
Ok Guys, Cool it down. Enough is enough.

There's no need to start a flame war. This is a warning and if I see any more flaming around that continues; A ban will be in effect.

Just saying. :)

I think they thought it was just going too far when JennyB and I could not agree on diagnosis! :P
 
Thanks guys..and jeese i missed the war and it was my own thread...jeese..damn cheerleading lol...Neway I will try a power aid likely the naidas hopefully those will help:) If jenny can use them and she gets benefit more or less then i am sure they are much better than my versatas!
 
Naida (since you're with Phonak and probably trade-in) have wide fitting range so it should do you well until it reach to the point that you're ready for CI evaluation to start, and I'm curious once you get that point, what brand you like and are you going to try get bilaterals surgery done at one time or 1 to see what its like first? Isnt that hard to imagine "whoa I'm really deaf"...?
 
Um I dunno about one side or bilateral but from what i've searched etc I like cochlear over AB, I know AB has more programs or whatever, but since I have more residual hearing I think i would do well with a CI anyways. Plus, I like the style, design, etc of cochlears better

Yeah me too I liked cochlear corp design better (freedom) and having choice of color pink helped a lot haha and it was most reliable and most electrodes that won me over as well.
But now with nucleus 5 skinny processor and pretty snap-on covers I'm solddddddd haha if I get upgrade I can't decide white or black because I love way white look with some girly snap-on cover but same time I don't want the coil to stand out in my hair lol and black will somewhat blend in but its black bleh and I don't want brown. So I'm thinking white processor with black coil? It'd look Mod :lol:
 
Alicia,

Sorry your hearing has gotten worse. My hearing went from normal to severe/profound in 8 years so I can relate. I am getting a Naida next week. I almost got the Zebra but went for the Purple. Another option for you might be the Oticon SUMO DM. If I don't like the Naida I am going to get another SUMO. Good Luck!
 
I would like to stick with phonak...i tried a loaner aid b4 and it was non phonak and hated the way it sounded ...im prolly gonna try the naida and if i get it it will prolly be purple:p
 
So, I'm sorry to hear your HL is progressing further, good luck with your CI/ new HA's, whichever will work for you. Cochlear is good, wide choices of colours and it's comfty on the ear.
