    A week from Tuesday when I go back and have the second test I am going to ask her to change it. I just don't want to be without it. Especially if I have hearing loss on the left too. Right now things have gotten really muffled when I don't have it in. I thought that was just because I was...

    That's what I said. I am going to my Audi in a week or so. My ent recommended another hearing exam especially when he was talking to me and i asked him to repeat twice. His audiologist did the test for his records. I don't trust her and I want it done on he same machine so when I go to my Audi...

    Allow me to add that his audiologists test were always testing me with more hearing loss than the others. When I went for a second and third opinion last time the last two audiograms matched each other and hers was off

    My doctor said from the beginning it was progressive. They don't obviously know how fast it will progress. I was hoping it would slow. According to the test his audiologist did my hearing went from borderline normal 3 weeks ago to 30db -50db in my left ear not one frequency in the normal range...

    I am feeling good that I am taking care of myself. I went to the ent today and we are looking to find an answer as to why I am losing my hearing. He did some tests today and said that my left ear is giving the same results as the right. He suggested I see the audiologist for an updated hearing...

    Now I know. The hope is that I will stay in the mild to moderate range for a while. If not then I will have to pay for it myself. I am not concerned about that right now.

    Like I said before. When I went to get the hearing aid she showed me 3. We had originally decided on the behind the ear model. I assumed the behind the ear and the cic were the same power because they were the same brand and line. I went home thought about it when I went back to give her the...

    Thank you Alex and maybe I misunderstood but the pamphlet in front on me says mild to severe and that's what the Audi gave me and when she was talking to me I was first going with a different hearing aid so did u ever think I am making a mistake. This is all new to me. I am nervous and scared...

    That's why the Audi said even though the are listed as ok for profound they are not as effective in the more severe and profound ranges. They would have to reassess.

    And this one is not for people coming of age and losing their hearing. I'm only 31. My Audi said she fits this aid for people from 15 up to 80. It is actually more popular with the 20 and 30 year olds with sudden loss and wanna be discreet.

    It's actually a Siemens Intuis cic hearing aid that is good for mild to profound hearing loss according to my audiologist and ENT my loss in my right ear falls in the mild to moderate. My loss is a progressive loss but she said this can last me for a while. My Audi said that if I progress into...

    Your input has been really super helpful. Today was a good day. It wasn't sore at all. I think I just wasn't used to it and that's why it was sore. Today I barely remembered I was wearing it. I am not getting feedback at all and the voice echoing stopped. I do think there has to be an...

    Some things do feel good. I was able to talk to my bf from the next room and the TV was at a normal level. The only thing is that my ear hurts a little. It's sore in some spots. Not red just sore. I don't feel like I hear the echoing anymore. But it seems to come and go though.

    I guess it was because it was my first day. I am the only person I know who wears a hearing aid. It's new to me and I'm really not use to it. I think I will get used to it overtime. Maybe she wasn't looking or over enunciating. I'm sure it will be fine. Just really wanted to share that I was a...

    Ok so I went to the mall and didn't take the hearing aid out. I felt like everyone was staring at me. The girl behind the counter at the restaurant helped me on the floor and I know she saw it and then started just staring. I know I am not being paranoid. . . She even started over...

    Appt is 2 weeks from today but she said if there were major issues to come right back. The only thing I am noticing so far is the voice thing on the everyday program. Other programs my voice is ok.

    So far the background noise is a little annoying and I don't have a headache. I just find myself a little overstimulated if that makes sense. I keep turning around to see what's making the noise. I am a little self conscious. Worried that people are looking at me different. That's the one...
