This is such a non-issue in the grand scheme of things but I got implanted 10 years ago when I was 11 and I'm getting a growing itch of frustration that the few sports I'm interested in are discouraged. My mental health is down the drain and I desperately need to get out more, and the one thing I found locally that sparked some interest (that I don't need extra equipment for) was woman's kickboxing. When I was 11 I didn't care about doing contact sports, so it was a non-issue when deciding on this surgery, but now I'm like ?!?!?! It would be so fun! And I can't??? Fuck's sake!

The other thing I want to do is cycle, but I live on a dangerous road so it'd be difficult to cycle around. I would have to join a local cycling group, which is fine, but my parents (who I live with) are concerned that I won't be able to hear signals or survive on a bike on the road. I sometimes wish I could walk into a soundproofed room and scream lmao

Probably not but I had a high fever a few weeks ago and while I was in the thick of it, my processor wouldn't connect unless I pushed on the coil in a specific way, and now it's not giving me any sound at all. It's probably just coincidental that a terrible fever and hardware malfunction aligned to be within the same few days, and I've ordered a new coil anyway, but thought I'd ask in the meantime just in case

Some days I'm just not in the mood to wear my processor. Hearing is exhausting especially when you have to work so much harder at it than everyone else, as you definitely know. But it's so uncomfortable to be in proximity to others when I don't have it on - everyone treats me like glass when I can't hear! I can't stand it!

I've had this processor for years but I've never actually known how to pair it to my roger on microphone. when they disconnect i just hold and release the pairing buttons on both of them for like 10 minutes until the processor flashes blue and the microphone links up at the same second but most of the time the processor keeps switching channels and the microphone shows that it can't find my processor.

with my technique timing is crucial but there's no way what i'm doing is the fastest or easiest way to pair them so. how do i actually keep them in bluetooth pairing mode long enough to recognise each other
