Hi did you or are you planning to get the other CI? For the other side?

My husband has a med el implant as well. Does this implant connect directly to the implant (sonnet) without using the audiolink???

You just verbalized everything I felt during my internship and ICU last year! I will be starting my first job as an RN in the ICU in two weeks and I'm excited to start knowing that those are real feelings and it's normal to feel that way because there's a lot to learn in the ICU!

Another “con” (in my opinion) is that all three meals occur on day shift. Granted, ICU patients won’t all be able to eat all three meals, but the ones that can eat often need a lot of help, if not complete feeding, and, in my experience, there are no CNAs to help with meals.

Nice video. I'm in the process of gaining some knowledge before I can work at the ICU. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing ❤

Please do a night shift survival guide video! I ❤ your videos

Hello, My name is Tina and I am an audiologist in Indiana. I have been a long time advocate for pediatrics and students with hearing aids and cochlear implants. I have a patient who I have known since she was born who is now in her first year of nursing school. She has the Med El Cochlear implant also and is greatly struggling with the connection of a stethoscope for her classes and learning assessments. She is also struggling with gaining accommodations thru the college she is enrolled in now. She would love to connect with you for guidance. Is this possible? I would love to connect to help her in any way possible :) I have loved your videos to help and provide education for others in nursing :)

Diet! Wic ,Social services, food stamps. You think I’m crazy do the research. Watch testimonials on the carnivore diet. Paleomedicina treats the sickest of the sick with diet

Thank you for sharing your story!

Great to know that I’m not alone facing these types of challenges. Everything you said is extremely accurate and very well phrased and explained to what I have to face on a daily basis. Currently a nursing student, almost half way there. Thank you very much for sharing!

Hey I’ve been trying to find a comparable Bluetooth for my one so it can go to my hearing aides. What do you use? I’m at the yah@@ mommyoffivesillykids

I wasnt expecting that!!!

not the yankauer pronunciation... haha this video is great though. thank you for documenting so much new nurse content. I hope the pandemic did not burn you out and you can come back to make some videos. subscribed

Very cool to see the stethoscope. One of my hard of hearing cousins is a vet tech and has a special stethoscope that works with her hearing aids. I don't think it's Bluetooth, though.

I'm trialling this Thinklab Bluetooth stethoscope currently. it does to bluetooth to headphones, but not to my my hearing aids, I think it's because the hearing aids are blue toothed to my phone at the same time ....still trying to figure it out.

Can you understand people who have masks?

Does cord come with stethoscope?

i have to wear clogs for my medical program :((

I gotta tell you, those are some nice looking boots. Do you still wear them?

This is super interesting! I have two kids with bilateral cochlear implants. I always wonder what they'll end up doing as adults. It's awesome to see someone with a CI working in a high-stakes environment.

!!! Sooo relatable

Where do you work?

Ok first of all can yall stop talking about her looks? How pretty a healthcare worker is is so unimportant in the care you receive. She looks professional, clean, and ready to work. Thats as far as we should be looking at her appearance. Shes there to do her job, not be fawned over by people who think she wants to hear about how pretty she is. She worked her ass off in school, clinicals, and work, and to have her expertise and intelligence completely disregarded for "you're so pretty" is frankly insulting. Second, thank you for the advice on shoes. I might try your boots as overly soft-heeled shoes absolutely kill my feet.

Bless you!

You are too real. Love ❤️ u

God Bless you girl! You are refreshing!

Thank you for these videos! I really appreciate hearing your opinions. I graduate in 3 months and want to start in the ICU

As a father in law, I'm doing some research on what kind of shoe I will be buying for the kid. I might have to save this one to show her. They look about as far away from a nurses' shoe as one could think, unless it was on M.A.S.H. lol Really proves your point about no one shoe.

Hang in there, My mother lost her hearing at a young age and taught herself to read lips and did so much with art and crochet.

.. You Are An -- EXCELLENT PRESENTER -- So Glad I Came-Across Your Channel .. Do You Sign...ASL...? .. If Yes, have you produced any videos on Signing for Medical Providers...? .. I studying to become an EMT and I need to learn some Basic ASL so I can effectively begin the Communication Process with a patient who is Deaf, and who may appreciate my effort to respect their needs and put them more at-ease while we figure-out how to communicate effectively (most likely with pen--and--paper) .. I want them to know when we first meet, that I am going to do all that I can to help them ..😇👍🙏

Thank you so much for your video. An eye opener for those who think cochlear implants is a 100% cure. It is not. You will always need support. I’m sure it makes your life a bit easier. As for the mask you should prolly encourage clear mask during your shift there are some nice ones out there that don’t fog. Keep pushing and advocating for the deaf cochlear or not. Your speech is remarkable not sure if you were born deaf or what. Good luck to you! Keep those videos coming!

Altras are good for me

Thanks for all the time and effort, you are really good in explaining all that stuff

Thanks for your advice !!

You’re amazing and an inspiration! I’m hard of hearing. I face very similar issues. I’m soon beginning my first semester of Nursing.

I really appreciate your precious video. I am a hard hearing person and English is my second language and I had a hard time to pass the prerequisites for dental hygiene program. I passed most of my prerequisites during covid when the courses were taught in zoom format . I read the captions which were available after my classes and took notes . I was successful and I was accepted in the dental hygiene program . As a member of disability center I could take 7 units each semester and it was the same as 12 units for students without disability. I had also tutoring. It was very challenging but even I sometimes helped my healthy classmates. Then when after so much pain and my super hard work I was accepted in the dental hygiene program they were completely indifferent and unhelpful regarding my hearing issue. They did not give me any accommodations and the masks on their faces was the ultimate nightmare which made it impossible for me to have a satisfactory comprehension of my classes. I asked the professors to write down those stuff I could not understand even after asking them to repeat that but they refused. My classmates were not better and refused to share their notes. My main issue was during the clinic hours where there were lots of extra noises and the method they were teaching was this way that they just explained the process one time, as an instance X-ray taking , and then students were supposed to do it . With the masks and my usual way of learning that I studied the zoom captions with peace of mind for several times to grasp the meaning of the material during the covid for my prerequisites and then in the actual program I did not have such a chance it was impossible for me to learn and be proficient. I asked for tutoring and they did not provide me. As the result I almost had an accident as I was driving home from the college due to too much pressure on me. I had to take a medical relief and now instead of taking results of my hard work I am in bed until noon . I am very depressed and I see many people are not understanding with the issue of deafness and hard hearing. I wanted to build my life with this dental hygiene career and now it turned to be something destroying me. I do not like going out or talk to people as I experienced how humans can be unkind . I was tortured and no body really helped me . I appreciate if you guide me how I can overcome these issues in front of me and regain control over my life.

I am hearing impaired and wear hearing aids on both ears. I’m going into nursing next month and I was really worried about my hearing loss preventing me from becoming a nurse. I’ll obviously face some challenges here and there, especially with the mask mandates in hospitals where I live. I rely often times on lip reading but your tip of repeating things is very clever. Your video really inspired me and proved that people that are deaf can surely do it, so why can’t I! Thank you for this amazing video! Btw are you facing any challenges currently due to mask mandates or did you face some in the past?

Hi Nurse Alley, just come across your video. Thrilled that you can use yr Sonnet 2 in ICU. And yr great advice for having breaks, this applies to all CI users plus Hearing loss people. I luv my Medel CI. Wished I had this device when Nursing. Keep up the good work 👏 Cheers from Aotearoa!

Yep. Clogs are very injurious. If you in toe, as I do, you need the support. I actually work in occupational health and the guys in the construction industry know the secret. I also like your compression sleeve idea because the feet in regular compression socks, I get squished toes and blisters.

I’ve been wearing Dansko clogs for years. I do a lot of fast walking/running around all night, prefer the lighter weight and more cushioned XP 2. I wear compression anklet socks, where the compression is around the arch area of the foot. I’ve never fallen in Danskos, but will admit I have rolled over on my ankle a few times…funny thing is, it never happens when I’m running around, it happens when I’m standing still, or turning. Never enough to hurt myself, but it’s a risk. I tried buying sneakers for work,but I just hate the way they look. I have NEVER seen a nurse wearing lace up boots! The one shoe I hate that everyone seems to be wearing now are the Crocs, and I’ve seen a lot of people fall in them! They are too lightweight, and now the style is the flared out sole…I think they are less safe than Danskos.

I've been a nurse for 42 years. Started wearing Danskos when they first came out. They work for me.

when did you lose your hearing? Thanks for the video. Getting a listening/hearing break is a great idea. I think I will try to get that at work. Maybe it will help me be less tired by the end of the day.

very helpful and useful info. ty

Hi.I’m a doctor with cochlear implant.I too suffered alot in this pandemic without lipreading .Thanks for posting the video.It makes me think that I’m not alone

I have been exclusively wearing croc's to work as a nurse for over 8 years due to my peripheral neuropathy and heel spurs

This is so true accurate; reassuring, and informative:) thanks

Thank youuuu that was veryyy helpful ❤️

Say "Marine-Oh"

Thank you for being honest!!
