New ears:)

So, I have seen many people rave about the Gear for Ears...so I decided what the heck I should get a pair as well!!! Since I only have the one hearing aid I decided to get two diff colored ear gears...so I got lipstick pink and the pink purple (it's not really purple tho..more like two diff pinks) and I LOVE them! Everyone at work though they were pretty cool as well:) Here are some pics!

Side note I was looking @ ha's that have more volume and "room to grow" on them and I was contemplating the Phonak Eleva or Phonak Savia. I would like to stay with Phonak since i have the integrated reciever and fm system by phonak as well:)
Anyone have experience with either of these aids?

Audi Appt

So, I went today for my audi appt today! I had to do an audiogram today and it was soooo long! They did an audiogram with the beeps and the words....and then she did a bone conduction test too and my hearing went down :( She reprogrammed my hearing aid and upped the volume and she said there isn't ALOT of room left on my ha but enough to last me for a bit if it goes down again. I saw a girl audi today and she was really nice. So, the rest of the day was good and she gave me a noise in background program so one of my mic's turns off and I can just focus on the sound in front of me instead of behind as well. My hearing in my right went down 10-15 dB, i think it was, in the low frequencies.

OH and good news...Phonak is launching a new hearing aid!

First week of school...

So, yesterday was my first day back to school from two weeks ago
lol i had a bit of a break but i did summer school.

Anywhooo I had to get my friend's schedule changed to match mine because she is going to be my notetaker. So i told her i needed my schedule changed..well my friend talked more cuz there were soo many ppl i was kind of lost in the convo...newho i told her i am deaf/hoh and I need a notetaker and she stops me mid sentence and goes " WOW you speak SO well!" ..i was lke..ummm thanks and then she proceeds to ask me if i was born that way, and how it happened and was it recent and she threw in some great expressions and nods and was like wow..i think im losing my hearing too! i was like ook..and then my friend was lke well we are already late for class soo....and she was like ooo im so sidetracked..well do ur job maybe?
It was a very awkward situation.

And then..doom..accounting class ...I'm not a math person so when I saw that it was a guy teaching it I was iffy..and then I got there gave the teacher my student plan sheet and sat in the front row (comp lab) with 60 comps on (with the loud fans) and we find out he is a pacer..like not pace around in the front..i mean he paced the WHOLE room side to side, back to back, 360'd talked to the wall..and then he says "is my constant pacing bothering anyone?" i didn't want to say YES out loud so i nodded very non discreetly and I was like i can't hear you very well, did you read the paper i gave you? he was like No. I was like ook..nd he kept teaching didn't even glance at it..and at this point it was in front of him too...so i talked to him after and he was lke u and ur notetaker sit in the middle so hopefully you can catch me at all angles....So now i am super ancy about that class cuz not only am I going to have trouble cuz its math..but also cuz i can't hear anything..I am going for another hearing test aided and un-aided on friday to see how that is and I'm gonna ask for a volume boost and talk about possibly an ha for my left to be more "balanced"...

newhoooo thanks for listening guys
