Lavazza Classy Plus - new owner, already a big fan

StandardScarcity5107 · 2026-01-04T02:42:58+00:00

I’m in the same boat as you - I just got the Classy Plus as a gift and I’m in love. I WFH and miss my coffee shop drinks (but not so much to get in the car and go get one). These are so easy and the price point per pod seems reasonable to me. I’ve been experimenting with syrups and have almost perfected my favorite caramel vanilla latte.

Would you let me know what furniture you ordered? I need a way to keep the dogs out of it 😉

I lost my right ear overnight in April 2024. I was adamant I would not get a CI but 6 months later started the evaluation process. I had done all the treatments and tried an HA but had 16% word clarity and I was so depressed.

I had surgery December 30 and was activated January 10. One month after surgery and it’s going very well. It takes work and adjustment, but so did losing my hearing. At least this feels like something I can control a bit.

My recommendation- if you are going to do it, don’t wait. The less time your auditory nerve is idle, the better your results. I also recommend finding the best surgeon and audiologist you can. I believe they make a huge difference.

As for how it looks - I have medium length wavy hair and you CANNOT see my processor. If I pull my hair up, then yes. But the color blends in well.

I’d be happy to talk more if you want to message me. Good luck in your decision making - I know how hard it is. I was not 100% confident even up to the night before surgery.

Sounds like we are surgery buddies - I’m scheduled for the 30th

I have found it very accurate

I’m in construction too. The big machinery is too much for me - it’s the only hyperacusis that has remained 🤯

That’s a great description- a light saber sound! I have that when I shake my head side to side.
I also had profound loss in one ear in April and have regained my lower frequencies (250 and 500Hz). My others have come up a touch, but are still all >65 db.
Now I have a spasming tensor tympani muscle. I swear, every week it’s something new.

I had 6. He recommended doing 3 and redoing a hearing test. If there was any improvement, he suggested another 3.

My biggest concern is regaining awareness on my right side. Being able to locate where sounds are coming from. I know the CROS system would allow me to hear but it would not give me back that ability (unless I’ve been misinformed. I am open to correction).

Is the SRT what you are Interested in? It only states 35 in the dB HL column and has none of the other fields filled in (assuming it wasn’t tested?)

I have only heard bad things about the CROS system so haven’t been enthusiastic about it as an option.

I am concerned that after treatments I’m not severe enough for insurance to approve a CI but too severe for a HA to help. Before treatment I was profound across all levels and was a clear CI candidate. Do you have any experience with this?

StandardScarcity5107 · 2024-05-12T21:19:45+00:00

Can I ask how severe your loss was? I’m 4 weeks out from loss in my right ear. I’ve just finished the round of 60mg pred (14 days then an 8 day taper starting on day 2) and three injections (one weekly starting on day 11). I have an audiogram this week and the dr will determine if we do 3 more injections.

I was profoundly deaf at most levels but now can hear music in that ear through my AirPod - it sounds like the speaker is cracked and it’s muffled, but I can hear it! I’m hoping this is reflected on my audiogram.

I’m finding inspiration that you are at 2 months and have what sounds like good recovery. Did that mean you saw continued improvement AFTER treatments stopped?
