    hearing test again!

    I am taking another test because the hearing has changed since the surgery i had for my sinusitis. It went well but my hearing has since then dropped and the reason was wax! However after the wax came out I found I still have problems. My audiologist says that's because my ear canals are short...

    Digital Hearing Aids Make the World Sound Unnatural

    mine are digital and i think they work just fine. It's IMHO but perhaps the audiologist didn't program yours right maybe? Some are not necessary but i find the only thing i have trouble with are the tv and background house noises because then they inflate the sounds even more. Overall though i...

    Hearing aid stuffiness in ears?

    I have behind the ear hearing aids with full shell moulds. i discovered the problem this morning as I witnessed ear wax fell out when I was bobbing my head side to side to the music on tv!! You were right on the money and I was beginning to suspect as such!! :) Thanks very much for your input.

    Hearing aid stuffiness in ears?

    Does anyone else get that stuffy or blocked feeling while wearing full ear moulds? I also keep finding mine need more adjustment. The right one keeps fading on me. Maybe i need a new one or just an adjustment. How long do warranties last for these? The other thing is it may need a cleaning. I...

    SUCCESS!!

    I got new moulds today and they fit very nicely. I had that test where they play sound to learn where you hear at with the hearing aids on. It was so weird! My machine i was hooked to talked about carrots. not too terribly loud and the cool thing was i could see how i hear when it was talking...

    how do you begin your hearing aid routine?

    i have been putting them both in these days now. I'm getting more and more used to them. However they like to slip over my ears from time to time.

    are hearing aid headbands worth the purchase?

    I find my hearing aids fall over my ears on a regular basis. Are these 'hearing aid retainers' as many call them worth the purchase and do adults wear them as well when doing activities that are more than active where the hearing aids might fall out? It is getting to the warmer temperatures out...

    two weeks until test!

    Since then i picked up another one! D=! It's healing well though. I think it's linked to sinusitis. That makes it two in a month's span. I think it's releasing itself finally as I can hear the phone again. I was pretty well hard of hearing, even for me!

    two weeks until test!

    ah okay! Got it. It does but first i'm going to the walk in to make sure it's not an ear infection. Tonight it's really bad and there is pain in my ear. Oral antibiotics have responded well. This would be the third one in three months. I swear i'm the champion of 'em. D=! There is still time...

    two weeks until test!

    ah okay! So if you're US then I can expect to double mine. I'm Canadian eh? :) Ya don't have to tell me the fact if you're USA or Canadian that's okay but it gives me a good estimate. :) The sound is still resonating in my hearing aid on my left. I don't think I noticed that before. That might...

    how do you begin your hearing aid routine?

    ah. Sounds good. I guess we're all different aren't we? I wore mine for four hours last night. Still can't get over how crazy my speech has even improved with them! :O!

    two weeks until test!

    i will ask my audiologist on the 26th when I see her again what a price for only moulds would be. I can't imagine it being any more than 180 dollars or so. of course I could be right off. It kinda does suck not remembering what the cost was but i can always try to find out. Getting a back up at...

    how do you begin your hearing aid routine?

    I get ready for the day and then start by wearing my right one. Once that one is warmed up I get the right one in. It is a pain because the right one keeps making feed back. I have two so I get the left one in after I wear my right one for a while. Then I take them out when I know it's not...

    two weeks until test!

    thanks! I thought so. I found 'em earlier today again and now i can see why i hated 'em! They were a sleeve fit or something like that and very painful for me at the time. I didn't put them in but i remember it. :O Do just the moulds cost a lot? Dad bought these so i am not sure of the price. A...

    two weeks until test!

    Two weeks til my yearly test! Despite the fact the aids are producing feed back and need new moulds I still wear them. The dizzy spells still continue but we'll find out what's going on there and that's a different story. I am now noticing this: when i hear sounds i can almost feel that through...

    losing hearing more in right ear.

    thanks for the support. I am concerned as the ear infection is well and over with. There is no wax or anything else like that in the ear at least i'm assuming for now. I will keep ya posted. My balance is off but i think that may be the sinusitis. About every ten years i have bouts of vertigo...

    losing hearing more in right ear.

    I'm losing hearing more in my right ear. Should I ask my local audiologist if they can do diagnostic testing for it? i had an ABR done once 2 years ago by an incompetent doctor and he didn't provide me by answers. Have any of ya had this test done as adults to find out what is going on? Can an...
