I was activated early this year and my Threshold (THR) Mapping is quite narrow. Has anyone else experienced this and eventually got it wider? If so how long did you take you? I'm feeling very frustrated on how long this journey is taking.
Hearing history- born deaf if this is relevant.
I’ve noticed that Amazon Prime deliveries have not been delivering same day or next day. They only offer next day, then when you put order through it say two days instead of next day and then it take three or four days to get to you, I don’t see the point of having Amazon Prime anymore. I’m seriously considering cancelling my membership.
I recently had a smear test and it came back with changes and was put on the 2 week pathway for an appointment. They took biopsies and the consultant I saw said it was likely that I would need LLETZ procedure but we won't know until my results come back.
So while I am mentally preparing myself for this. My IVF team contacted me for my period dates. I was wondering if anyone had LLETZ procedure and had IVF stems afterwards how long did you have to wait for?
I have tried researching this and I couldn't find any answers and totally forgot to ask the consultant at the time as I was so overwhelmed by the LLETZ procedure.
The bottom half of the incision is healing well. The top half (where my hair is- also have curly hair) looks healed but I’m getting some dried discharge at end of each day - it doesn’t look infected, slightly tender at times. I was wondering if anyone has this issue, if so what did you do?
Edit: I’m nearly 4 months post surgery
On Thursday while I was on the bus my implant cut out and it took a while for it to get working again and it happened again yesterday- both times had orange static light showing on the processor. I'm a newbie with my implant, I have emailed my audiologist but they are closed for the weekend and Monday (Bank holiday). Any tips or advice would be appreciated.
Edit: I have Cochlear N8
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice about MSc Audiology entry requirements in the UK.
I have a BSc (Hons 2:2) and 14 years of NHS experience, mainly in paediatrics. I’m really interested in transitioning into audiology, particularly paediatric/implant services.
I’ve recently been told by one university that they may consider me via a “suspension of regulations,” but it’s not guaranteed and would depend on interview.
I wanted to ask:
• Has anyone been accepted onto an MSc Audiology course with a 2:2?
• How flexible are universities in practice with experience vs degree classification?
• Are there certain universities that are more open to non-traditional backgrounds?
• How difficult is the interview?
I’m trying to understand how realistic this route is before I explore alternatives routes.
Would really appreciate any insight or personal experiences!
Thanks in advance 🙂
I read this post and completely get where they are coming from! Does anyone else experience this?
