Not sure if it is just me but, I have been asked some of the strangest questions in reference to my CI's.

3 of my fav's are:

 

Is that a new phone?

 

Is that a new IPOD?

 

am I part of Security with a fancy radio?

 

Has anyone else been asked the same?

Well, it is not CI but as I wear a BTE hearing aid on headband - people used to think it is for hair. They never ever asked themselves if this is so, why I never hold my hair under it. Laughing

Oh, and when I said to them it is - a hearing aid...Surprised - a huge one!

I would not be surprised if these people are not people from ENT department....Embarassed

People often think it's a blue tooth device.

As I have a shaved head it's out on view when I don't have a hat on so I'm used to sideways glances and staring.

I'm just happy I can hear and because I'm new to this, tend to show it off. People are so interested. Only had one negative comment about growing my hair long to hide it, but not going to happen.

QUESTION FOR ADMINS... I'm not allowed to LIKE more than a certain quota each day?

Kinda frustrating when I'm reading lots of posts I DO LIKE!

Can the quota be raised, is it a temporary thing? Seems weird to put a quota on something like that, can you tell me the reason?

Thanks,

Caroline
