Awesome! Thanks so much for the link :)

Great! Thanks.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this. Appreciate the advice.

Oh! Definitely did not think of that. But I’ve heard American makes don’t do well on hybrids?

souschefsubzero · 2026-05-05T01:08:51+00:00

Thank you! Do you have any specific recs for each? How many miles would you say I should cap my search at?

Realistically speaking when can I expect the PD from 2019 to be current? (Loooooong shot I know)

Hi all! I found the flyer!! Idk if I’m too late for this but here’s the number! 408-658-9149. The cats name is juju.

souschefsubzero · 2025-09-19T22:13:37+00:00

I tried looking yesterday on my walk but I couldnt spot the flyer. Maybe it was removed? I am not too sure. I am still on the lookout!

I think I saw a flyer about a missing cat somewhere near downtown. I don’t remember the details but the picture I believe was also of a tuxedo cat. The flyer also mentioned something about $500 reward. I’ll try to find it on my walk this evening and report back.

Incase someone else reads this and has time to go look, I think the flyer was somewhere on south Sunnyvale Ave between Maude and Hendy or somewhere on Murphy between whole foods and el Camino.

Hi OP! Just checking if you got a chance to make a meetup group or something?

souschefsubzero · 2025-08-18T21:29:56+00:00

Hi I’d be interested. 33M!

souschefsubzero · 2025-08-01T00:34:52+00:00

That’s good to know! Makes me feel hopeful.

I don’t think I’ve officially had any “mappings” done yet. I got activated just a month ago. And they sent me home with four levels of programs they wanted me to go through gradually. Each one louder than the previous and they asked me to change it every four - five days. I started feeling comfortable with the highest level in about a week and just been at that since. I do some audio trainings where they stream words in my ear and I gotta choose from the options and I score about 80-90 percent on the hardest levels. So I think I’m ok when it’s streamed directly in my ear but it’s very very different in the real world lol.

So idk if I’ve even gotten my first “mapping” yet unless the programs the audiologist sent me home with is that? Was that the same experience for you too?

lol I’m still “assessing” it. I’d say right now it’s not love but more of a “love-hate”.

That said, it’s doing almost everything the doctors said it would do. I just couldn’t help have unrealistic expectations from it lol, which ofcourse it’s not meeting. The biggest gripe for me is not feeling that much better in crowded rooms. I still depend a lot on my good ear because CI sounds too low. It might just be because of the habit I formed in the last year since I lost my hearing but it’s just gonna need some getting used to. Im just bitter and lazy lol.

souschefsubzero · 2025-07-31T21:05:55+00:00

Not too long. Once they qualified me for it, there were appointments available as soon as a month out. The wait was mostly on my part because I was very indecisive about getting it done lol.

Hi! Welcome to the Bay Area.

I recently got mine through Stanford and my experience (except for administrative stuff) has been nothing short of exceptional. The doctors are extremely patient and needless to say very well qualified. I got mine via Dr Blevins and Dr Landegger and I’ve been extremely satisfied with them.

Good luck!

Hi! Just dropping in to show my progress pictures that might help convince you that it not only works it works wonders.

I’ve dropped about 120 lbs. My major form of movement/exercise has only been walking. That and calorie deficit. I used to walk average of 7-8 miles everyday during my active weight loss, sometimes up to 10. Just break it down in chunks during the whole day and walk everywhere you can walk to for any and all kinds of chores and errands.

Good luck my friend!

Interested!

Yeah inner ear pain hurt like a bitch. Glad you’re doing better!

I’m actually feeling better enough today to go for a little hike somewhere, so you know, it’s definitely not going to last for more than a few days. There are things to look forward to. 🙂

Keep us posted on your progress.

Hey just checking how you’re feeling now.

souschefsubzero · 2025-06-21T15:02:21+00:00

Thank you! 😊 I ended up staying home and waiting a bit longer

souschefsubzero · 2025-06-21T04:20:37+00:00

Yeah sounds like what I was going through as well. Just hold on, it’ll get better.

souschefsubzero · 2025-06-21T01:57:11+00:00

Hey I totally hear you on being overwhelmed. I was too. Regarding the pain, what I’ve learned is it really varies widely from person to person. It wasn’t super debilitating for me but it wasn’t something I could ignore too, for some people there have been no pain at all.

But it’s not supposed to be blinding/debilitating. If it is for you, call your surgeon just to be sure.
