Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others

Hi Julie, Thank you for your encouraging, kind words and info about the Roger pen. I currently have oticon pro streamer, oticon mini microphone, Roger easy pen, and phonak universal roger X for my older Oticon non-Bluetooth aids. I had tried to use all with my t-coil program on my exceed aids but can’t get sound. My HIS could not help with that. I have thought about cochlear implants, and will consider it later down the road. The idea of drilling into my head gives me pause.

Your HIS may not understand all the technology you mention...unfortunately. We learn a lot more about technology from the people who use it than from the people who sell hearing aids.
I know so many people with cochlear implants, but I too, was hesitant to go that route back in 2005. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. It has made a remarkable difference. I returned to work full time 5 days after the surgery. Of course, I couldn't hear much then since the CI had not yet been activated. No pain and fast healing. It was a real game changer for me. PS: The surgery was much easier than I thought it would be. Do you personally know anyone who has had a CI?
