I have aural atresia on my right side, but never had an issue locating sounds, probably because I was born that way and my brain adapted. I’m just wondering about the mechanism behind that? Did my brain find a work around?
Phonak won't tell me so I'll try here. My Phonak Charger Case Go stopped working, I tried a hard reset on both the charger and hearing aids (Audeo Life P30), that didn't help. I then plugged charger into a computer port and it charges normally. Now I'm looking to buy a new USB adapter, but having difficulty finding one that matches the one I have which has output 5v 1.2a. Can anyone give guidance? Thanks!
Hi there, just after some opinions or advice on next steps for my child. A brief relevant history; history of coughs and colds as younger child, moderate conductive hearing loss and grommets 2 years ago. Child is now 8. Possibly neurodivergent, just the best little kid ever. No glue ear etc since grommets.
My child consistently asks for repetitions and mishears things, we've really advocated for them with following up and chasing for reviews.
Failed audiology tests one month ago - suggested carharts notch in one ear, mild-moderate loss in the other and a view for a CT scan to see what is happening with the bones. We were told this was unusual and concerning and child was put down for hearing aids. I asked about reliability and was reassured that the assessments were detailed, thorough and reliable. Moulds then taken a couple of weeks after. I felt relieved that my kid would be getting help.
Then we have had the appointment for having the aids fitted but the tests today were within normal limits... Apart from mishearing some speech sounds. So no hearing aids.
Please don't misunderstand me; I am happy that things don't seem so concerning anymore. But I am shocked as we had prepared for kiddo getting aids and I finally felt they would be getting help. I really feel that they miss out on so much. The audiologist today suggested it may be related to neurodivergence.
Is it worth me getting a second opinion? Or do I just accept today's outcome?
So my dog yelped right next to my ear I was hugging him and he yelped with his face pretty much next to me ear. He yelped once and he is a small-medium dog bichon
Should I prepare for the worst
Does anyone have any experience with custom made ear plugs for swimming? I really want to swim but I can't because I've got perforated ear drums even though I had operation done but got perforated again.
Do custom made ear plugs really stop any water getting in the ear canal?
