Hope all goes well and tell us how they are! YAY!!!
 
Great scotts! About time you got a new hearing aid! :D I really want to get new ones myself...but cannot afford it at this stage. :(

Way to go, deafdyke! :)
 
Vain, stop trolling for attention. The close-knit nature of this message board is what sets it apart from most other message boards on the Internet. We all make frivolous posts here about minor events in our lives. It’s just part of the nature of this community, and is a reflection of our camaraderie—accept it.
 
Heya DeafDykegirly that's awesome! Now what happened to the old hearing aids or did you ever had one? Your excitement just made me wonder heh heh!

Ten more days for ya!

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! :D Before I've only had the ugly old lady tan ones! )
 
Congratulations, DeafDyke! How do you like your new hearing aids? Are the acoustics different than the older version than the newer version? With some people, they find that they need a few days to balance the acoustics because of the older version. So glad you are full of vim, verve and vitality right now with the new hearing aids as you can pick up more noises around your environment.
 
Wow, Congratulations Deafdyke!!!....I am hoping to get new ones too since, My old ones wouldn't be able to get fixes.... I sure missed my hearing aides... :tears:
 
Hi DeafDyke! That pretty much explains your excitement! :lol: Are you getting the same pair of BTE hearing aids? I had Medicaid help pay for my new hearing aids before I started working (1997). It was a big help for sure. Enjoy the new hearing aids and take good care of them! :thumb:
 
Got my hearing aids yesterday....they are Phonak aids...really wonderful! I keep rediscovering new sounds I'd forgotten!
And yes....they are the cool clear ones with clear tinted purple molds! I love them....I can even hear a clock ticking!
