    My sister has been doing quite a bit of research and seen quite a few that haven't worked and quite a few that have and has said even if it doesn't work she has tried and won't have that niggle wishing she had done it and didn't .can I just ask..how is your daughters speech? Did it improve after the implants ? Hope you don't mind me asking ! X

    Oh yes definately! Her speech improved massively afterwards......these days she gives me no end of lip! :D BUT I do think children learn quicker? and easier
    Don't get me wrong to listen to her, you can still tell she has a hearing impairment...she still has 'volume' problems and what I call 'squeaks' :o
    Does your sis have any speech or has she relied on signing and/or lip reading?
    I don't mind at you asking at all :)

    She's a stroppy teenager at the moment and has said a few times she wishes she could switch us all off :o another thing about having it done as an adult......she won't take it for granted! :)

    I am pleased that your sister has decided to have the implant. It will certainly be life changing and I think that she'll be reaching for the volume control at times.

    When DS was younger, we had to make the decision to have the implant. After the risks were explained, we decided against it. Although he is deaf in one ear, he has hearing (with the help of a hearing aid) in the other. We were advised that there would be a risk that he could lose all hearing.

    His friend in Scotland had the implant a couple of years ago, she was profoundly deaf. She has just come on in leaps and bounds. Although she said that she used to turn the volume down all of the time as she just wasn't used to all of the noise. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Please let us know how she gets on.

    That must of been a hard decision to make but a big risk to take..great news about his friend though :) I have no doubt my sister will be turning it down, when she use towear hearing aids she was always turning them off :cool:

    Oh dear..Robinsons Pepsi ..what else have I missed:eek:
    Last time I couldn't get on I missed the oep glitch :eek: actually I don't want to know as I wouldn't have had the time to do it anyway :rotfl: actually feel free to tell me :rotfl:

    Pepsi (Regular 8 can pack - apologies folks fed up of me always adding these extra qualifying words but need to ensure people get the correct ones) not yet missed! Still expecting it to work tomorrow (earlier in the day if possible). Don't know - does it get risky towards Monday afternoon or does it work into Tuesday? Womblers who are here during weekdays will know whether M prices generally update at some point during Tuesday or whether Monday is a partial day for the price collection we need (in other words, the current one from last Wednesday - do not want the info. from the new one being carried out tomorrow (I think)!).

    And Quaker 1kg oats now too - in fact if we've only now become aware, some of us are trying them tomorrow (fortunately this is the M collection so will work if caught before the update).
  • Bed time for me school and work tomorrow goodnight

    I knew there was someone else here that had a child with a hearing impairment. I couldn't remember who it was :o sorry MKS :o

    Strange comparison tonight.

    my Victoria sponge compared £4.00 v £2.40 a v t
    I did put a couple of nutri grain bars in my shop as thought they were a v s but they compared £2.18 to £1.50 a v t

    So not a perfect shop but did get a bit back so not all bad. Must keep a comparison list with me when I shop. Too many glitches against too many stores at the moment so need to be more organised.

    Had a lovey afternoon anyway.

    Talkiñg of special birthdays I cruised the New Zealand Fiords on my 40th.

    Dd has booked Premier inn near Alton Towers for her 30th on a whim thursday as was £25. So will be using a 2 for 1 ticket and taking dgd to Ceebies land.
    Did quite well on the premier inn sale as also got room in Fareham in June for end of her Sun holiday in Weymouth so they can extend holiday to go to Peppa pig land.

    SD terrible news for you and your friend. I really can't imagine it.
    Lutz I hope life starts being kinder to you.

    Tomorrow I think will be a nsd at home planning my nectar double up and hunting out my sable watercolour brushes which appear to have gone astray.
