Thought this was kind of funny. Things were dead in here, so I thought it might start some conversation, lol. Dodie DEAR ABBY: I am 55. I consider myself...
That's a funny story. I had my hearing retested last Friday for the first time in 3 years. Not so good. I went from severe loss to profound loss in my left...
Tina, Sorry to hear about the changes in your hearing. I got my aids through Voc Rehab. They cost $3200 (about 4 years ago). I have a severe-moderate loss...
Hey All! Tina, I have had two colleagues get new hearing aids through Vocational Rehabilitation. Is that possible in your state? They had to re-open their...
Maybe. I will try. Kansas provided me with an amplified phone, though I was told that it could not be for work, but for life purposes. I don't know if they...
That's exactly where my hearing was three years ago. It's gone down a lot since then, and will continue to deteriorate, since Meniere's is a progressive...
Yeah, understand that. Otosclerosis is progressive too, especially since my surgeries on my right ear didn't last and I am no longer considered a candidate...
Tina, I already had aids (they were about 4 years old) when Voc Rehab bought these last ones for me. I just had the audiologist send a copy of their report...
Tina, My experience as far as getting hearing aids through Vocational Rehab was much like Dodie's. I already had aids that were not working well for me, and...
My aids are actually 13 yars old, so maybe I can get them to help me buy new ones after all! Alea, thanks for the input. I will call them about aids on Monday...
*I am crossing my fingers and toes for you, Tina. One of my colleagues waited 10 years before considering new hearing aids and the other waited about 3. If...
Oh, well--we still have our Yahoo board, so we can keep in touch. The whole iVillage thing is a bit of a pain anyway. For example, whenever I use my bookmark...
I haven't been to the I-Village page in a long time. My main reasons for not logging in were that it loads really slow on my dial-up connection. Then when it...
I did post one final message on iVillage: a link to an interesting article in our local newspaper about the growth in the hearing aid market as Baby Boomers...
I seldom visit the iVillage board any more either. This is ever so much better and easier to use, in my opinion. I really think that the navigation issues...
Well, I finally checked out iVillage "Connect." It is very "busy" and rather counterintuitive for navigating (as is typical of iVillage functions). The blog...
It seems to me that they are really shooting themselves in the foot, so to speak. They have discouraged people from coming to the site by making it more...
Hey Everyone! I, too, have dial up and iVillage was a major pain for me. I tried going to the iConnect thing, just for funsies, and, it was even worse!...
What is "CM"? Would that be Cindi? Braillesign@... wrote: Hey Everyone! I, too, have dial up and iVillage was a major pain for me. I tried going to the...
Tina and Dodie, I couldn't agree with you more. Some blogs work in a way that people can interact, much like a message board. However, I don't see that with...
Because of my 10 public websites, I get a lot emails each month from readers. Over the years, some of them have become friends, even though I have never met...
I am oooooh so sure you are real people! We even have proof that Tina is real -- because she was on TV and everything! LOL Have joy! Dawn Takes two to tango,...
I have had quite a few Internet friendships turn into RL friendships -- especially with my Duran Duran communities (yes, I am a member of multiple DD ...
Hello everybody! glad to join this group. I have nerve hearing loss. But it came late in life, hence no signing. Hope to pick up some tips to improve...
Hi, And welcome to our group. Many of us don't sign either. I am 57 in 1 1/2 weeks, and I never learned to sign. My sister Linda (age 54), Charvragma in this...
Hi, and welcome !! I'm in MB I was born with profound SSD (Single Sided Deafness) - and now have mild/mod (flux) loss on my 'hearing' side. For the most part I...
Hi everyone ... I was going to post this over on iVillage ... but. Here's a brief update on me for the last (yikes) year !!! I've been sooooo busy I have no...
