Chuck you still haven't told us how severe your loss is, but if it's bad enough then you're not fooling anyone anyway, they already know you can't hear. So you might as well go with the larger aids and get the most benefit. Kind of like the bald guy who combs his hair in circles on the top of...

Your doctor is basically telling you the truth assuming you have a severe to profound loss.

Deafness, I couldn't have put it any better.

I stopped using Duracell a while ago. I thought that quality control was much to be desired.

I went with silver colored aids this time, and my audiologist said, oh they will blend in as your hair turns gray, which I never considered. Most of my hair is still brown. My reason for the silver was so they would be easier to notice. My hearing is so poor that to try to disguise my BTE...

Deaf for 1 day. Now wouldn't that be wonderful.

I can't hear the demo, which at first i found frustrating, but after reading all the comments it's obvious that everyone's experience with a CI or for that matter a hearing aid is different. Adjusting to either, obviously depends on how much patience a person has. Every hearing aid I have ever...

"Hearing aids" for $69? Ever hear the expression, "If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is?"

wear them for a couple of weeks. Adjustments will probably be necessary.

Sorry Pinky, I didn't mean to give you the wrong impression. No I don't wear a CI.

Since there is not a lot of room behind my ears, when I decide to wear both my glasses and my aids, the aids go on first. Then I slide my wire frame glasses between my aids and the sides of my head.

When your low frequency starts at 80db then you don't hear an airplane crashing into your house, let alone one flying in the sky.:laugh2:

So how's your back? The part I find most bizarre about this story is that everyone is screaming at each other about an interpreter, instead of treating the patient. I mean this was an emergency room!!! Unfortunately, my experience with hearing people regarding the deaf or HOH is that they...

Oticon - one of the worlds largest manufacturers of hearing aids and hearing solutions

Well again your information is a bit on the thin side but from what you have given me you appear to have a profound loss. Ask your dispenser which model you will be getting. One thing about buying hearing aids. Everything needs to be out in the open between you and your dispenser in order for...

Well the first question would be your audiogram. We need to see that in order to get some kind of idea regarding your hearing loss. The next question is does it have to be Oticon? The third thing is for a pair of Adapto's, assuming that is what you are buying, I paid 1500/aid and that was...

The adapto's, which I wore for years, are a 2 program digital hearing. In my case the two programs I had were the listening program and the telecoil. My adapto's were at least 5 yrs old, when I got rid of them a few months ago. The adapto's have the ability to automatically reduce background...

Boy, I wish my speech comprehension was 72%.

If a person gets me mad enough and tells me to turn up my aids I sometimes respond by saying. "my aids are made to filter out background noise and obviously perceives you as just that."
