Is there any way at all that you could get to see someone who is experianced with young dhh folks? I think a big part of the problem, is that your audi is more of a Beltone style audi, rather then a real audi. Maybe a good idea might be to contact a school for the Deaf, or your province's hoh organization. They might have some suggestions as to good audis to see.

Of course it is an option to switch audies but I love this audie! I do know that she did spend some time working in a childrens hospital...again not quite my demographic though. I think I am willing to get past the fact that she doesn't so much deal with young dhh people because she is so willing to learn, and help me. I never have to wait long for an appointment, I can usually be seen same day or within a few days of making it. She replies to emails I send her within the hour. She goes above and beyond what she needs to do, even staying late after clinic hours for a late appointment if need be.
Though it is a big company, her office is small. Only her and the secretary. Although I am sure I can find someone with more experience dealing with young people and my type of hearing loss, I doubt I could find someone who is both more experienced and yet still possess all of the qualities that make me stick with audie. In my eyes having someone that actually cares, and goes out of their way to do as much as possible is better than someone with a little more experience. Like i have said before, as long as she is willing to learn I am willing to help her learn...even if it does make this take a bit longer.
