HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted June 15, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Any funny stories of times your coil got magnetically attracted to something other than your head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted June 15, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 This happened early in my CI journey..... I had a hilarious CI moment at work today! The Fine Tuner fell out of my pocket. When I reached down to pick it up my low battery alert went off. Then my head got too close to the metal cabinet and my D-coil went flying off!

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted June 15, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Right after I got my first CI I was in a conference room with a couple of co-workers. The room happened to have a metal shelf in it, and the shelf was behind me. I leaned back in the chair and the shelf acquired a CI.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted June 15, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 @Mary Featherston I bet your co-workers’ eyes were as huge as my student’s eyes were when my processor was dangling from the metal cabinet.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted June 15, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 @Mary Beth - we laughed. Both Briana and Dave had been hearing my story all along. I make a point of engaging people at work - making the point that yes, I have magnets in and on my head, along with electronics - but I can be normal (well, ha, no, but you get my point).

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted June 15, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 The student I was working with when my processor flew off my head and magnetically dangled from the metal cabinet is a CI user too. Her eyes were huge and then we both cracked up. However we both respected our distance from that cabinet after that!

Hila Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 At the lab, where I work. . If I ever get too comfortable around equipment.. and if I happen to lean on hood stash, door, by instrument bench or an occasional fridge. Someone might tell a joke or say something funny, and I'd lean my head back laughing. Then I must laugh it off while trying to gracefully reclaim my stolen coil. All the metal items listed above fight hard for the coil. It's ok if it happens amongst friends!!! Mary Featherston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
