Those of you who have seen my few posts know me as hearing, but now I have been officially diagnosed as hard of hearing, with a loss of 65 Db or however you say it.
Now, my question is, if I get hearing aids, what is the best way to go about getting some kind of financial aid, because I live on SSDI for other disabilities, and Medicare and Medicaid won't cover it because I am 23. I am getting ready to go to school next week and am really concerned about this, I think I will need them to do better, won't know until I start school though. I guess I could ask the teacher to talk louder until I can get one, lol. I have found numerous sites online about help, but a lot of the sites are aid to help children. I am just a little too old for that. I was told about the Lions club but was cautioned because they use really old hearing aids to give to clients.
Can anyone help? I am going to my local DRS dept on Friday to see if they will help me pay for them, as I am so young, I don't want to get something too crappy, even if I have to sell plasma or something, lol.
Thanks in advance!
