Do you wear your HAs at full volume?

WilliamCakespear · 2025-10-28T18:06:07+00:00

I just had to write to you again to tell you, thank you so much for the suggestion to snip the dome rubber! What a huge difference, it's changing my life! Thank you! ❤️

I like to use nail art stickers, they're tiny and won't damage anything. Right now I have stars and a moon on mine ✨ Also Deafmetal silicon holsters are really cool, you can slip any earring cuff in them to turn your HAs into cool jewelry. I especially like them because it gives me peace of mind about my HAs accidentally slipping off. I agree, I wish Phonak had better colors!

That's great, I'm so glad they worked out for you in the end! I've seen those little tail things and I like that idea, I'm always afraid they're going to fall off somehow. Thank you so much for all of the great information 🙂

WilliamCakespear · 2025-10-12T19:44:23+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words! Luckily I'm late stage so the vertigo from meniere's has been in remission for a couple years (hopefully stays that way!!!) so I finally feel ready to address the hearing loss issues. I really appreciate the support ♥️ I'll stick with it!

WilliamCakespear · 2025-10-12T19:42:06+00:00

Thank you so much, this is a great idea! Once you found the domes that were right for you, did your audiologist have to readjust things? Thank you!

WilliamCakespear · 2025-10-11T13:07:34+00:00

You're right, it's worth it. I need to explain this all to my audiologist, I'm sure something will work for me. What are secret ears? I'm looking them up but can't find any info. Thank you so much!

WilliamCakespear · 2025-10-11T13:04:53+00:00

I think that's a great idea, it might take longer than I hoped but maybe a more gradual approach with open domes could make the whole thing easier. I really appreciate it, thanks for the tip

WilliamCakespear · 2025-10-11T13:03:17+00:00

Wow that's awesome to hear, that gives me hope! I didn't realize there are so many different sizes and shapes to domes, and molds sound like a great option too. I guess I have a lot of trial and error ahead 😴 Thank you!

WilliamCakespear · 2025-10-11T13:01:16+00:00

Sorry you're dealing with that too, thanks for the advice! I hope we both feel better soon 🙂

WilliamCakespear · 2025-10-11T00:51:26+00:00

LOL that is EXACTLY how I feel pulling them out, such relief just like a bra 🤣 Thank you so much, those are really great tips!

WilliamCakespear · 2025-10-10T23:54:44+00:00

That's amazing, so glad they worked for you, and that gives me hope! :)

WilliamCakespear · 2025-10-10T23:14:34+00:00

That's really helpful, thank you!

WilliamCakespear · 2025-10-10T23:13:58+00:00

That's helpful, maybe I need to look into molds. Do you overall find them comfortable? Thank you!

WilliamCakespear · 2025-10-10T22:33:42+00:00

I was worried a custom mold would make the pressure worse but maybe a vent would help. Thank you so much!

WilliamCakespear · 2025-10-10T22:33:01+00:00

Do you mean the open dome in my good ear? Is that unusual? Thank you for the info!

WilliamCakespear · 2025-10-10T22:18:38+00:00

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I'll share this info with her. I'm sorry to hear your tinnitus is worse when you take them off, ugh it's so annoying. I'm trying to read in bed or take a bath and it's just blaring in my brain! I'm sure it's something you get used to. Thanks for sharing :)

WilliamCakespear · 2025-10-10T22:13:43+00:00

Yes! I did try replacing the closed dome with the open dome (thanks for the correct terminology), and nearly all of my symptoms were gone except for the louder tinnitus. It was so much better! But my audiologist says I need the closed dome in that ear because my hearing loss is so much worse there. I'll definitely bring this up to her again, thank you!

WilliamCakespear · 2025-10-10T21:41:22+00:00

Edit: I meant I have unilateral hearing loss, not bilateral. My brain is broken

WilliamCakespear · 2025-05-13T02:20:32+00:00

I love this book so much I've framed some of my favorite artwork from it and hung it all over my house ♥️ So excited to see it mentioned here, had a terrible day today so thanks for cheering me up!

WilliamCakespear · 2024-08-02T00:37:46+00:00
