What kind of batteries do you use? 675 or something else? 2 weeks sounds short for 675. That's why I asked. :)

When did you lose your hearing?

Hahaha... don't feel bad. My audiologist says the same thing about my right ear. Even though I have more hearing loss in my right ear than my left ear, my right ear is more sensitive than my left ear. That's why I don't wear a hearing aid in my right ear.

Cool... welcome! :)

Sometimes, I wonder why they don't implement sign language in some movies (as often as they should) where the character wears hearing aids. Kinda defeats the purpose of putting the hearing aids there in the first place.

Well, if I'm walking along at a store or at the mall... and see an old person wearing hearing aids, I usually shrug it off with the assumption that they're deaf because of old age. But if it's a young person wearing hearing aids, then I usually have a quick thought of two things... "Is that...

Not even when you're doing nothing at home?

That's why it's usually wise to consider when we REALLY need to wear our hearing aids. Some people think they HAVE to wear their hearing aids EVERYWHERE no matter what (except for sleep). Those are the ones whose batteries usually last the shortest. ;)

Even though I'm deaf and wear a hearing aid, I don't always think about hearing aids on old people. I guess you're right about it being considered "normal" to see an old person wearing hearing aids and ignoring it. :)

Wow... I'll have to check that out. That's a great deal! :)

You're saying... 40 batteries for $10?

I change mine once every 4 to 5 weeks. On average, they last a month.

My sister's dog actually chewed on my hearing aid. It was the analog hearing aid that I had for 15 years. It fell out of my ear while I was sleeping and she woke me up apologizing cuz she found it in her dog's mouth. I just wiped it off and put it under a blow dryer. Worked fine. That was in...

That's one thing that had me puzzled with how the movie ended.

That's one of the reasons why I had my audiologist add MTV mode to my digital hearing aid. It makes my digital hearing aid function as analog... hears everything with no anti-feedback. :)

Define "a ton"?

Well, the weird sounds I hear is hard to describe. I'll have to figure out a good description soon. It's random, but it's something I can actually induce or stop based on what I'm physically doing.

Yeah, I feel the same way. The more advanced and fragile the technology, the higher risks there are. :(

Any of you know any movies where someone wore hearing aid(s) in it? I can think of a few... - She's All That - Spy Kids: All the Time in the World - Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare

The title says it all! :) How many hearing aids and/or cochlear implants do you wear? Why or why not? I wear only one hearing aid in my left ear. I used to wear two when I was little for a few years, but it never worked out and I always got headaches. It has something to do with...
