After waiting for most of the semester, I am finally going to get my brand new hearing aids on April 27! Just twelve more days!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Been wearing aids since I was three, so no, I am not a newbie to aids. However in college, my experiance with aids has been kinda patchy. Started out with a dorky ITE aid, then about two years ago got a mini-BTE. Fall semester of '02, ITE broke, and decided to dump it since I hate that type of aid. Wore the mini-BTE, but it was a pain b/c it was so tiny that it fell off constantly. Over winter break, the tubing and the earhook broke on the BTE...so I stopped wearing it, figuring that I could just get a new set, since I FINALLY got Medicaid last summer. Made an appointment at Clarke School at beginning of this semester, figuring that I'd be able to get an appointment...turns out that the next availavle appointment was March 26! Then I go and find out b/c I have Madicad that I have to wait an entire MONTH to get my aids...so I am counting down the days! ONLY ten more days!!!! YAHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and I might be getting the cool clear ones with purple earmolds! Before I've only had the ugly old lady tan ones! )Now what happened to the old hearing aids or did you ever had one?
