What Are You Doing Right Now

Can you turn it off when needed? A friend of a lot of us here had those and found it overwhelming and removed them

Those are physically larger, though, and are really just a complex form of headphone. An implant is a different beast.
Generally speaking, yes. The speech processor (see my previous post) is about the size of a hearing aid too... although 2/3s of it is battery, lol... They expect I should get a week off of a pair of watch sized batteries (the little ones, not the quarter sized ones)... Don't know what the model size is yet... Or if I get the rechargables, I'll get about 24 hours off of a single charge... We will see how it goes.

A lot of people do find it overwhelming -- especially if they've never heard before. But yeah, they are like hearing aids. I can turn them on and off at will (I also have a volume control so that if it hurts, i can turn it down a little)

I know a few people who have had the implants done. Most everyone has kept them only a couple found them to be too much, but I do know that the adjustment period was a long headache filled process. However I have been told having a headache from hearing your child talk to you is one of the best headaches possible

The trick is getting our kid to be more verbal, lol.

@gjacobse The Parque Central really is pretty. There is a big wooded park full of vendors. The square is lined with big colonial style hotels. Then on the east side is the cathedral and a bit open square where the picture was taken. Behind the cathedral is a long pedestrian way going east until it hits another major church. Then it becomes a big boulevard that runs down to the water front. All walk-able in 10-15 minutes.

Weird things that I've learned from SW #1: The more someone tells us that they are on a "tight" budget and can't just waste money, the more they are wasting money willy nilly and in really crazy ways.

Good evening guys! I will go back on Middle shift tomorrow.

As I typed that I thought about it, she probably needs to reboot for the permissions to effect her user profile....
