UPDATED HEARING AIDS Phonak Cros-link anyone got one? I DO !!!

[Captain Deb]

Wow, I'm so glad you are lovin' these new thingies! One of the things I'm looking forward to at the Philly convention is the opportunity to try out summa these gizmos and gadgets. I sure would like to get back out on the road again--lately I've had too many close calls on our curvy one-laned road to walk much and too busy/lazy to go to the local park to walk. Sure would be great at social events!

New problem found in the croslink, I went on my first job and found a ringing when it was real close to the computer, im still investgating it will post when further looked in to it, it seems to only happen at boot up when it gets into windows it stops im thinking the BIOS might be sending out signals

Okay, Nate as long as you keep us up to date with notes, I will know what to expect when....  I am hoping to get in to the audiologist in mid september for a fitting like yours.
The bios must be sending signals to the thing!......This is Hal

Hey Nate let me know if it happens to send you a cute guys phone number  LOL
Keeping fingers tomorrow I get good news and get one too!

[Jeanlea]

Does insurance cover the cost?  They sound better than having something more permanent like the BAHA.  I don't want anything more done to my head.

This is the one my audiologist recommended for me, but, alas, I don't have insurance that will pay for hearing aids. Lucky you!!  I guess this is one of the type that works best for our situation.  Really glad to know that this is working for you, Nate.  As for your spelling...you can always copy the text and paste it into your e-mail as if you were going to send it out, check with spellchecker and then put it back into this Forum.  I've done that before when I thought I was messing up some words.  It's a thought.  I do wonder what our English will be like in, say 100 years, with the proliferation of texting, e-mails, and such. It will probably look very different, that's for sure.

Just spotted this thread and am interested.

Nate, thx for posting throughout your test. The boot up signal is probably one of Bill gates's undocumented features of Windows!!!!

Wonder how it works with cell phones with and without bluetooth.

I must look into it although I must say, at times, it's ok to have selected hearing, especially with 3 other girls in my household.

Well I may have found the problem with the noise being sent from the computer I had the reciever on a locked setting that has no use programs when it is in normal its fine.

[Survival Nate]

Oh ya i just rememberd I was on Base (Shaw Air Force Base) and I got a strang tone coming from the runway then is stopped it was kind of cool it was very low I could barly hear it

[Battyp]

I got my approval!  I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Jeanlea contact vocational rehab.  They might be willing to pick up the tab if it will help you maintain employment.  Heck, teachers need to hear all around them! My insurance wouldn't cover it but voc rehab is paying for them to help me regain my employment.  It's always worth a shot...the worse they can say is no!  You know that nothing ventured nothing gained statement.

nate how was your hearing in your an ear before you got your cros?  I have severe tinnitus in both ears more so on my an side.  An my last audiogram showed no hearing at all.  I know I have a teeny tiny bit which occurred after my last ent visit.  I just don't want to get my hopes too up.

thanks!

[Survival Nate]

 My AN side is dead the nerve is cut, My good side I have very good hearing says my Audio guy. I do get tinnitus alot but thats if it quit I havent noticed a problem with it, when im using the aids

[Battyp]

oh wow so then they might just work for me as I still have the nerve and a teeny tiny bit of hearing.  (dead on the audiogram but I swear I can hear a dial tone on full blast in a quiet room)

Oh Nate I just love your new graphic..thanks for the smile!!!!

[Larry]

mmmmmm, must investigate.

Want to thank you, I have been following this thread and have been contemplating the Cros-link. Think I will make an appointment with my audiologist.
