    Service dog

    I am throwing around the idea of getting a service dog. It would be half for hearing and half for psychiatric stuff. Does anyone on here use a service dog and has it helped you? I want to be sure I want one if I'm going to shell out the money and time to train.

    New hearing aids

    I get new hearing aids this year, but I don't know what I want. I was looking at resound but reviews on them were not so good. I was also looking at oticon new opn which came out this year. I am going to talk my audie next week. What hearing aids do you have or want?

    Beep beep

    Beep Beep Beep, two days of beeping. Die or be quite. I strongly dislike when my hearing aids are dying. I like to wait until the batteries are totally dead before I change them so I have to live with 2-4 days of beeping. Any one else have long lasting dying batteries? I have oticons.
