Hey there, 
I have been on and off this board for the last year and i thought, what the heck, i'll register and introduce myself.
I am Melinda and I am profound Deaf and wear hearing aids. I am getting new hearing aids in the next few weeks and people are encouraging me to get digitals. I have had Analog since i was 4. (am 42 now!!:roll
Hey, remember those body aids with wires back in early 70's??:-o had them first and then got BTE when i was 10.
I am just not sure if i am going to like Digital. My BIL had them and he went back to analog 2 years later cuz he couldn't hack the digital. I was reading the thread below about the differences between analog and digital and i guess it all based how you personally like it. It one of those you either love it or hate it. I just don't know if i want to endure the 30 day trial. I just don't know what to do. The only complaint i have with analog is that i get feedbacks on some cordless phones and some cell phones which drives me NUTS!! Also , when i am outside and it is humid out, my hearing aids goes haywire!! Can't handle the humidity. People told me that digital is better equipped for humidity (water resistance) and feedback free. but i am not sure how i am going to like the hearing part, i am also not sure if i like the idea that it turns down and up on it own depending how the noise is outside. But my audiologist told me she can set it at a analog setting...not sure what that means!
But anyway, enough rambling on my part, but this is a cool site for deaf people!!!
PS: Any disney fans out here???
