I have been REFUSED a hearing aid consult after I was told I would get one. I even had a terp come! This audiologist said my hearing was "normal" and said I only had "a few delays" (with my other hearing problem). I thought I was promised help to get at least an FM system, but she did not even do that! Is this DENIAL OF SERVICES?!? There were certain things I wanted put in writing. She refused. I have DOCUMENTATION of BOTH my hearing problems from BEFORE! My audiogram is NOT normal and I have CAPD very bad. Even HER report says I have CAPD! Also, she did not explain the report! What kind of an IDIOT would bring a terp and try to get things cleared up if that person had normal hearing?!? I did NOT understand what happened this first time with NO TERP! I STILL do not understand! What should I do NOW???

What does that have to do with that? She didn't say anything about its for applying for disability, just a hearing test...

If audiologist doesnt want your business, just take it to other audiologist. If that happens to me, I would just find another audiologist that will take my business..

Unfortunately, any business have the rights to refuse service to anyone as long they are not discriminating due to your disability.

I don't quite understand what is going on with you, but I think perhaps you need to see a doctor other than an audiologist. If you have a problem hearing that is not in the ear (central processing or whatever) aids and an FM won't help.

i'm confused. do you use terps and sign to understand what others are saying to you?
