Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 , perhaps you got a dud battery. Call Cochlear and tell them it won't take a charge. They will (I think) send you an envelope to return it and get you a new one back right away.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Evon, I was just about to call Cochlear right now. Hopefully they can send a new battery within 24 hours. I'm sorry if I sound like I'm whining, but I really do miss having bilateral hearing with my Freedoms. Then again, I shouldn't complain because hearing with one CI is better than not hearing at all and hearing Darth Vader with 2 CIs is better than not hearing at all.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hi , If the battery is less than a year old it should be covered under the warantee. Your audiologist might have a replacement in stock? Jim > > Evon, > > I was just about to call Cochlear right now. Hopefully they can send a new battery within 24 hours.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Jim, My batteries are over 2 years old. My audi said she e-mailed Cochlear, but is still waiting for a response. She suggested I use disposables, but I can't do that because I don't have an extra battery cage and the battery cage for my left processor turns itself off within 2 minutes when i use it in my right processor.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 , This makes me wonder if you have another problem if the battery cage on the left processor that is working should work on the right side without problems. I understand that you are getting a new coil? I usually will have problems with the disposables sometimes will not power up the implant but never with the rechargeables > > > Jim, > > My batteries are over 2 years old.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 , E-mail me your address and I will send you an extra battery cage. I have a ton of them. They are black.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 It's been awhile since I've posted. We are in the middle of trying to get a formal diagnosis with our daughter, . She just turned 10 in Dec. I've been dealing with a lot of issues since she was 18 months old. She's been in speech therapy since she was 22 months. She was just found eligible for further services under SLD, yet the school has no specific learning disability. She appears to have some major auditory processing issues and may be dyslexic as well. The psych we are seeing currently suspects some sort of PDD as well. She also has OCD issues that are mild to severe. She had the evaluation done by the school and the person who did the evaluation for the educational part had a two-page list of " suggestions " for her. All mainly comprehension and reading issues. A lot of auditory suggestions. So comprehension is a huge issue. The psychologist mainly found she has short term memory issues. He didn't see it as significant, but hey, short term memory issue is a HUGE issue. So far this year, the teacher hasn't been very supportive. She just thinks everything is going to be " okay " . We've just had major struggles the past two weeks with her trying to learn how to divide one digit into 2 digits. She has struggled with it for 2 weeks. My 16 year old daughter (who has been in advanced math since 4th grade) tried to help her last night and found that she forgets to go back and get the remaining number in the original number. She brings the first number down and subtracts the difference and then will either use the same number again or make up a number. We decided that using a skeleton (picture with boxes where she'd have to fill in numbers) would be helpful as a visual. I emailed the teacher this morning to find out that she did fine with the two digit number with minimal help. And she said she did fine on her test, but only with the two-digit number, not the 3. So here I am, saying that she has struggled and had great difficulty and the teacher says that at school, she does wonderful. The teacher emailed me back and said she told to do her work at home with NO HELP and she'd see what she did when she gets to school. I asked for a visual. Nothing was mentioned about it. The teacher said she didn't want ME having to struggle with her at home. I'm so confused at this point. is not one to " play " me with trying to get work done if she can't. One of her obssessions is to please and get everything right. So if she's not getting it at home, why is she getting it at school-supposedly? I don't know who to believe or what to think. I've been trying to do thing to see if is just yanking my chain here at home to get attention with helping with homework, but she's been really frustrated. What do you think? Thanks, Melinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
