Long island

Ok so I have recently become HOH. I'm getting used to new hearing aids and am currently in the mild to moderate hearing loss range. My loss is progressive. I have been getting suggestions that I begin to learn ASL in preparation for when I may loose my hearing completely. In the past few weeks I...

Just back from my 9am audiologist apt and here is what we came up with. I have a mild to moderate loss in both ears. Both ears are testing at 35-50Db. We called my insurance company and they said we can't apply a hearing aid towards my deductible and then order two new ones at the same time...

I am considering an ASL class but right now I am taking things one step at a time. First I'm getting my BTE hearing aids. She is going to fit me for them and do a new test on thu. I moved it up. She is good. She said I checked both ears when u were here and I don't want to sell you what you...

I going to wear the cic until I get two. Also if the BTE doesn't fit tight and/or breaks. I have something. That can help at least a little.

I am a teacher. My career is who I am. I do everything for my students and they are a part of my life. A job is what you do to make money but a career can be part of who you are if your career is fulfilling. My career makes me smile 1000 times a day. It is stressful but it is at the very...

I was actually saying you were right. . .I am trying to deal with it similar to the way you did. I was really commenting on what the person said about it just being life. . . .I think that was insensitive. :-) I am trying to adjust and survive. Right now. . . .this is part of my new...

I am not all depressed I am looking for answers. Yes I know there may not be any other than genetics. But for someone to insinuate I should stop asking questions or looking for answers bcuz it's part of life is a little absurd to me. That's all I was saying. You are 100% right I need to face...

Your right I was asking him to confirm the worst. I wanted some sort of answer. Of course I really didn't get one. I am not sure if the insurance will cover it. He put it through because I am trying to get answers but your right it may not be covered. I think calling it "life" is making a...

That video is awesome. I think it is definitely the best way to go. Of course my Audi will give me input but I think it will be the best based on what I have seen. The video may have sealed it. Thanks!!

So I think I am set on the aquaris. Obviously her and I will have a talk about what is best. . . she is going to show me different ones on tues after she sees exactly where my left ear falls. From what I have read online they seem to have the most room and are the most functional for me...

I know. That's why I asked her about it. If a kid splashes me outside the pool I could have a problem. If I don't wear them I can't properly supervise the pool. I hadn't told her about the camp job. I only thought of it yesterday when I got the need from the doctor. My original idea was to take...

The price tag on it is up there. That's the only problem. It will probably cost me a bit out of pocket. Again we will see.

I think I'm going to go with the ones my Audi first recommended. When I called her yesterday she said that they will be good for my current loss and for a long time after that. They are the siemens intuis s dir. That's for now. She also said the aquis might be good bcuz I work at a camp in the...

You make a very good point. When we asked how long I had before I would loose my hearing the doctor said that I would probably notice it in waves. But I may not. He said there is no way to tell. He said you could have this drop today and then not see a change for 3 years or ever. You may have...

I am going to have her change them. You went from where I am to profound in 5 years! That makes me nervous. I am going to give myself room and not jump the gun. I'm going to take it one day at a time and go to the BTE aid/s. if the ents Audi is right I dropped about 20Dbs in my left eat over the...

Ok so this is all helpful. I am nervous about what comes next. I am nervous about the world getting quieter as time goes on. I was happy this week. I put in the hearing aid went to school and the halls were loud. I could hear my students. I am concerned at how quick my left ear may have...

It's actually the intuis s dir that she had initially wantd to order. I switched to the cic because I. Had concerns about noticablitiy and she said it might be better. In the paperwork she circled that the cic was only good for mild to moderate. I think I was kind of half listening at that...

I went through my paperwork. And it looks like Audis initial recommendation was the intuis life BTE. She said that would last me a long time and it was $1875

And if necessary I have like $800 in my health flex spending from work
