Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Larry, When I was 15, my Oticon hearing aids (with batteries) went through the washer and dryer cycle without consequence. I was surprised (and relieved) but maybe I shouldn't have been. These are the same aids that are now 15 years old. LOL!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Wow you got lucky! I once dropped a loaner aid in the sink it dried and was fine thankfully not being mine. And nothing melted on those aids? Do they work at all in your aided ear? I've wondered what to do with my aids after my surgery. I finally have the doctor I want as primary care that was it's own headache so hope to meet her soon and get my referal. Fun hmo stuff but it's better for me money wise than the ppo. > Re: You won't believe this >Larry, >When I was 15, my Oticon hearing aids (with batteries) went through the >washer and dryer cycle without consequence.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hi Tina, Both of my analog Oticon BTE aids are 15 years old and still work perfectly to this day despite having gone through the wash and dry cycle. Over the past year and a half I've noticed that my analog Oticon 380Ps no longer provide enough amplification the way they used to. Since then, I started wearing my Oticon DigiFocus II BTEs. While they didn't help me hear or understand speech, environmental sounds were easier to hear. That's one thing I've always like about digital aids...how they seem to do a better job of picking up environmental sounds because of their fuller sound quality. Just recently I've noticed how nicely the sound of the DigiFocus II combines with my CI. Today I jokingly told audi that I felt like I was 15 years old again because I could hear binaurally for the first time in 20 years. LOL!

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Please be careful with batteries that go thru the wash. While they may still be " good " sometimes they get rusty around the top button. I won't want to put that corrosion into the processor to mess up the connection... _____ From: tina [mailto:tinabir@...] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 12:47 AM Subject: Re: You won't believe this Wow you got lucky!

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 After being on this forum for several years.. I believe almost anything that happens to hearing aids, ci's and the like and they still survive. LOL My 3G processor decidet to take a swim in the toilet (thankfully it was clean water!) Talk about panic.. but only momentarily.. I fished it out quickly, took it all apart including the cable and batteries, dried it on low with a blowdryer and put it in my splash case for a couple of hours.. It worked like a charm. Of course, I changed batteries even though I had just put new batteries in because, once wet, batteries can leak and cause damage to the external processor.. what's 40 cents of prevention compared to $6000 for a new processor?? We had one fellow on here who had his #G run over by a truck! Yikes!, but.. all he needed was a new outside case.. internal parts were undamaged. OK.. I know we have some newer folks that have some tales to tell about their ci or hearing aid.. let's hear them. <G> If I'm not embarrassed to tell about mine falling in the loo.. yall can tell your stories too. LOL Hugs and hope all have a great week. Silly MI > > Wow you got lucky! I once dropped a loaner aid in the sink it dried and was > fine thankfully not being mine. And nothing melted on those aids?

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Oh I know my batteries and aids stay very far from water these days. They are in the dry and store if I am not using them.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi again, I just had two hip replacements, metal on metal resurfs. After surgery I was not feeling well, not recovering as fast as normal etc.. My doc ran some bloodwrk and my CRP and RF were positive. I recently awoke to stiff/swollen (slightly) hands and rehummy said I have RA. Okaay....I thought the timing was strange. I googled metal implants and inflamm. disease, up pops a lot of literature on problems with metal implants in people with chronic inflammation. I plan to investigate this further and see if perhaps the removal of the implant could relieve my symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 ... makes you wonder why the doctors would give you metal without researching your background first. that's doctors for you !
