Comment on What Parents Need to Know About CI “Soft Failure” by Thomas Clouser

Thomas Clouser — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:32:21 +0000

I have a 25 year old Ineraid with a processor box from Med El. Approximately 10 years ago, I started having periods where the high frequencies would cut out for periods of several hours and gradually return. This intermitent problem grew worse and worse until the middle frequencies also cut out. I noticed if I fell asleep on the couch on my side with the implant in, I experienced this problem, but somehow it never happened if I fell asleep in that position with the implant out. At one point, the implant quit working except for a hum for a very long period of time. I remember it was at least 3 weeks, but might have been a month or more. I replaced all external equipment and the problem was not solved. One day however, it just came back to life. So, for about 8 years, I had intermitent, but ever increasing problems that were definitely very detrimental to my ability to function. The last two years, however, for some reason, I have had very few incidents of this happening. The Ineraid does not have an internal receiver in it so it is not clear why there was such a problem. I still find my old Ineraid superior to my newer Advanced Bionics device in the other ear. Not sure what the moral of the story is, but soft failures definitely exist.

Comment on Bilateral BAHAs – Is Bilateral Better? by Teresa

Sorry, I can only reply in English, but I understand that you are asking where you can purchase a Baha. I’m not sure where you live, but in most countries you go to an audiologist, and they would have that information.

My daughter is wanting to take ASL as her second language, but she is just going into grade 7 . . . I’m thinking the grade 11 course would be too advanced? Any ideas of what I could do with her? We are at-home-learners.
Thanks
