    What's a good HA for severe loss nowadays?

    Hi, just reading your reactions to your new HA's. I was amazed how much better I could hear when I went from one CIC to two IC HA's. It took about a month for my brain to absorb the new sounds and settle down, definitely very tiring. I have them still and really need more and they are the Phonak...

    Unitron hearing aids HP

    My hearing aids cost me $5700 6 years ago and Phonak are telling me they are not made anymore etc etc and they keep sending them back when fixed by them minus my tele-coil. Personally, I think they are arseholes and I think I will go back to sending them to an online company I have used for...

    pain from sounds?

    I think the noise is what you could call the "Electromagnetic Field". I get the same sensations and sounds when I am anywhere that power is being generated and my T-Coil is going. Sometimes my HA's will give feedback depending on the type of electromagnetic field or device causing it. When I...

    Phonak Naida

    You can buy a Sony Ericson directly from any country if you really want one. I am from New Zealand but live in the USA and I have bought a cellphone from Amazon to use when visiting NZ. The exchange rate in NZ is better than in Europe.

    Adjustment to late onset deafness

    Yeah, but aren't you police? I would have thought that your union would have negotiated all that if your hearing loss is work related or whatever? I'm from New Zealand and unless you are covered for work related issues from a noisy industry etc you have to pay for yourself. However, as I say...

    Adjustment to late onset deafness

    I found out this year our insurance company doesn't cover hearing test. However, when I commented that is seemed like discrimination to the CS person I got a call back from the supervisor within 15 minutes to tell me that as a discretionary measure they would pay for a hearing test! I think...

    Adjustment to late onset deafness

    Oh that's interesting because we have never really found out in our family about our hearing loss. That probably means ours in dominant or maybe not. My nana was hoh and 3 out of 5 kids I know are hoh, one of them my mother. Out of those 5 off-spring one died in WWII so don't know about him...

    Deaf/hearing rant

    Well she deosn't need to leave the house, but in light of her feelings, it would be very magnaminous of her to just remove herself and find something else to do. The social anxiety thing told me alot. Hopefully you two will sort this out and your wife will pull out of herself and do what...
