    Sounds like me! Can't go one with my day without wearing a hearing aid. ;)

    How often do you change the battery in your hearing aid?

    I noticed I have to change my hearing aid (Phonak) battery (Duracell size 13) every 7-9 days.

    How many hearing aids (and/or CIs) do you wear?

    I wear only one in my left ear. One is not needed in my right ear, at least that's what my audiologists told me throughout the years. Like Vampyrox, my right ear is very sensitive but too weak to understand sounds. When I listen to music via headphones, I can hear and understand voice in my left...

    What is your hearing aid's brand?

    I'm using Phonak these days, and all I can say is that the sound quality is better than my old Starkey hearing aid. Still getting used to wearing a digital hearing aid, though.

    Who else doesn't like digital hearing aids?

    Thanks for the link, Bottesini. So far I've tried two different digital hearing aids, the last one made by Phonak, and I've had two different audiologists in NJ tweak the settings so that they are programmed like an analog. But, nope, it's not the same and the digital hearing aid doesn't sound...

    How often or how many hours do you use your aids?

    I usually wear my hearing aid all day except when I'm sweating profusely, taking a shower, or sleeping. What about you?

    Tinnitus

    I get spontaneous tinnitus, and the high but quiet pitch noise lasts for about 15-20 seconds then it goes away. Does anyone else have this problem? For those that don't know, noise or ringing in the ears is called "Tinnitus." I understand one way to prevent tinnitus is reducing the noise...

    Cochlear Implant: Is it true that you can't swim or play football?

    I'm not a CI user, but to those that do, what do you think? Fact or myth? :confused:

    What hearing aid batteries do you like/use?

    I currently use Duracell, size 13. The battery usually lasts about 7 days before it needs to be replaced. I've had a few deaf friends tell me that the Energizer hearing aid batteries last longer than others, but I wouldn't know. What about you?

    Who else doesn't like digital hearing aids?

    I've been wearing an analog hearing aid since I was 5 years old, and tried a digital one a few years ago. Well, to tell you the truth, as much as I tried to like it and get used to it, I hate it! The sounds that I hear are horrible and robotic. I couldn't believe it when my audiologist said...

    What is your hearing aid's brand?

    I currently use Starkey (digital) and have Oticon (analog) as backup. I've used Oticon all my life until a few years ago. I think Starkey is OK, probably because it's digital and I'm used to analog, but that's a different story. :p What's your hearing aid brand?

    How did you lose your hearing?

    I lost my hearing due to a high fever when I was 5 years old. I currently use a hearing aid on my left ear and not my right, because my audiologist said my hearing in that ear was so bad a hearing aid wouldn't do much. Heh. So, how did you lose your hearing?
