I would, while you are waiting to hear from VR, or waiting to decide about going in to speak to someone face to face, go somewhere that will offer a free hearing test. For me, my local deaf service center does. I also know some hearing aid places (that I have since found to not be much good) will do free hearing tests. This way, you can have a current test with you when you can get an appointment with VR. I was fortunate to get into VR very easily and they sent me for testing, and I got hearing aids through them before I lost all of my hearing. The company they sent me to for my hearing aids is who I have since learned was not very good. (Thanks for that info Botti, it was very helpful. Seriously) (Beltone).
