HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted April 9, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Yep, we got a huge dump again. Sun came out but still had to shovel! More expected next week! The joys of Canada. Should have stayed in Arizona a couple more weeks, the temperature is 33 degrees Celsius today. Two days of snow, Ivana. Let's trade places! Yes Ivana lets trade places!!! Anytime girls! We have very popular joke about life in Canada and snow has a critical moment in it! I will translate it to you later...

HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted April 9, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 We had no snow. Just about right for our area Snow is more common for my place but some years it just does not show up as it should... But - now we got a bill: allergies and asthma attacks are harder than usually...

HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted June 13, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 So the latest news for me is that my speech comp has improved in a quiet setting. Yay for seven on months! My Audi also said they will be considering me for next years surgery list. They will discuss in the fall. So no for sures yet. Also as for rechargeable batteries they will be released in Canada starting September 1. Med el will send them to us. No extra charge. Two smalls and two large ones. That's the standard set.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted June 13, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Fingers crossed for your chance at becoming bilateral next year. Great on improving speech scores. We don't have a date yet in the US for the rechargeable battery kits and not sure if we get to choose which kit or if they just send everyone the same kit.

HearPeers Heroes Cara Mia Posted June 22, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Kara, I am sure you will win this nomination for the second CI. I hope you told your audiologist and co. how many children you have and how it is important for you to be able to locate them easily by noise they made Mary Beth and Ivana Marinac 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted June 22, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Thanks Cara! I have told them I have four kids. They are not quiet that's for sure!! Locating a sound is still an issue. I ordered a artone tvb+ so it may help me at church. Can't wait for it to arrive!! It's a wireless mic that works with the artone neckloop I got in the sonnet kit.

HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted June 27, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Unfortunately, sound locating will remain yours (as it is mine also) issue up to the moment we don`t get implant for the other side...

HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted July 20, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 To my bionic buddies! Had a wonderful night last night. I went to a support group for people with hearing loss. Little did I know it was mostly people who speak ASL. They were very welcoming. It was basically 19 people with various levels of hearing loss. Some unable to speak and others hear very ltttle. You guys get the picture. Low and behold there was another women there who had an implant like me!! She was implanted in 2008. She has an AB implant. She was even implanted by the same surgeon as me!! Her name is Linda!! What a small world we live in!! Just had to share!! Talk soon gang!!

HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted August 3, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Great experience Kara! What are you discussing on your meetings? How do you communicate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted August 3, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 The people mostly use ASL but since I am not fluent they wil speak and sign. Those who can anyway. So I'm trying to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnarym1 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 So, it went extremely well. I can hear voices and some sounds. When she turned it on it made a great big noise. Like when you turn on your computer and and it chimes. It was shocking. Voices are very high pitched it seems but over all I only really hear voices. Not much back ground noise. I got this great huge box with that was crazy!! Adam you must have walked out of your appointment like you had just been shopping!!! All is good. I will update you all again later as the day progresses. I got that too, it felt like Christmas almost lol I walked out with three giant boxes of stuff!

Heshmat Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 How long do you think it takes to b e able to hear tv easily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted October 4, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Understanding TV easily varies from person to person. There are assistive listening devices that may help if you are having trouble with that at this time. Check out handsonhearing.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
