Guest guest Posted June 28, 2000 Report Share Posted June 28, 2000 Hey -I volunteer, also. I run the Royal Rangers at our church. Its like scouts. We reach out to boys and help keep them out of trouble. Especialy ones without a Dad at home, they need a male role model. We do lots of fun stuff with them like camping, hiking, fishing, canoeing, paintball, speliunking in old mines & caves, plus hundreds of other things. I love the outdoors, but I have been limited lately by this Hep-C and the toxic meds. I can't wait to get done with it. We're actually leaving tonight to go camping & fishing in the White Mts. I won't be baack until Saturday night. God bless you, Bob Simons Sr. Commander Royal Rangers Tucson, Az. bsimons@... http://abbacomputers.homepage.com/bob.htm For I know the plans I have for you, " declares the LORD, " plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2000 Report Share Posted June 29, 2000 Bob: I'll bet you are making a difference in the lives of those boys. My husband's family was dysfunctional as he was growing up (alcoholic mother). On his own, he joined and participated in Boy Scouts and became an Eagle at 15. That activity provided him a safe respite from what was going on at home and a place where he could feel good about himself. You're a good person, Bob. It's probably very satisfying, isn't it?

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Hi Jerome, I am one of those people who is a volunteer. I do volunteer work for Cochlear and I wear the Nucleus implant. The only reason I do it is because I have gotten so much benefit from my implant that it has given me my life back! I lost my hearing very gradually over the course of 27 years and it took away a lot of joy and replaced it with a lot of stress. But I am now proud to be called a volunteer because Cochlear does so much for it's recipients. Cochlear has the best track record for support for it's implant users and also the best track record for making sure that all of it's earlier implantees have access to current technology. I don't get paid to say any of this but after reading several forums for so many years, I know that I made the right choice for me. I know that volunteers from another company make a lot of effort to sell " hard " to new people that come to the forum (off list) and I think that is awful and manipulating. Just be sure to do your research for yourself and check out all the implant features, what research the company has done to back up it's claims, and company track record for keeping it's older users happy and hearing. ************************ In a message dated 4/1/2004 3:37:53 PM Eastern Standard Time, jt1@... writes: Hi there, I noticed some of you guys have " volunteer " or being early in getting CI technology, is the risk higher when they are on experimental status?

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Is there any other forums beside this groups where you guys hang out so I can get more info? I have severe-profound sensorineural hearing loss which is a borderline I think, and I don't know whether I should pursue for cochlear implant or stick with hearing aid and wait until something new comes out... I have a question if you don't mind, do those BTE in cochlear implant sweat proof? Philippines is a very hot country. Thanks. Regards/ Jerome Being on experiment....
