Those of you who posted on this post . .. I got the other hearing aids, and I wrote a post and posted a pic. But for those of you who didn't see that thread, I will probably post the pic on my profile or something. Two is definatley better than one! :) Just wanted to let you all know. :)...

Hey there shel, I believe it depends on the audiologist. My suggestion is to check and see if your audiologist goes and negotiates with many different companies. The most popular brand with these "unique" colors and combinations seems to be Westone, but I contacted them and they wanted like...

Great! They sound great, I just have to get used to the automatic volume control, and get used to wearing two hearing aids instead of one, lol. Although, sometimes I think they are demon possesed (lol), because sometimes when there is no real sounds, it sounds like aliens talking. My...

I said I would post something about my hearing aids when I got them. I got them Friday, they are red, with red glitter earmolds, Unitron Element 8 + Easy T Power BTE's, and they are really awesome except for the fact that my audiologist wanted me to try the automatic volume control. I don't...

I was wondering . . . Which college online is that? I am in school for the same thing, I live in Virginia. There aren't enough decent programs to go around. I started at this school I am at now, wanting at least the certificate in Interpreter training, and then they discontinued it, but...

Its all good . . . No you are good, I didn't make it clear when I orginally typed it. As far as cool looking hearing aids go, I know that BTE's are not really easily hidden. People notice them, I can already tell a difference with the one that I wear when I go to my psychology class (only...

I ordered them . . . My audiologist ordered them, and we should be receiving them in a week or 2. I can't wait, because this one I have helps, but isn't exactly the type that can be set to my individual needs. The ones I got the loan for are just about perfect as far as the different...

I agree . .. The Lions club is usually pretty good about helping people. They helped me years ago get glasses, and now I got 1 hearing aid so thats pretty good. :)

Well . . . They didn't help me pay for new hearing aids, they gave me ONE used hearing aid that had been donated, but I don't care, it works that is all that matters. As for DRS, I have been talking to them, they actually have finally got to the point where they were going to help me, but I...

My new HA's will be Unitron BTE's . . . Hi there, I have a hearing loss almost the same on both sides, but my right ear is a little better, so since the Lion's club would only give me one used hearing aid (for which I am thankful for), I got the right ear aided for now, until I get the new...

Until I receive my other hearing aids, I received one, from the Lions club and it is for my right ear. I find that it helps out tremendously, with the exception that I feel lop sided, lol. I can't wait to get my other ones, because if this works this well, then I know having 2 will work...

hehehe . . . Amen to that. I mean, they haven't even returned my last phone call. I always have to hound them down, and you would think that this lady would be just a 'tad' bit more understanding because she, herself, is disabled. Hmpf. . . . oh well. I found other means, and when I...

Unfortunatley . . . Well, I do have to pay for the hearing aids. My local DRS (department of rehab services) do not want to pay for it if the lions club is willing to help. However, the lions club only offers 1 HA and 1 earmold, so I can't even switch off if I wanted to. I could apply to...

Whew! I finally got word that I am approved for my HA loan. Yay!! I finally heard yesterday that I will be getting a loan for the HA's of my choice! I don't have to have 1 hearing aid after all! I didn't think I was going to be able to get it for sure because of credit, but they did give it...

Oh wow . . . I didn't think of using the glow-in-the-dark earmolds for in case I lose them under the bed or need them at night. What a great idea!!! I might have to get a pair of those after all . . . . :)

Awesome!! I never thought of that!! Oooh thats a good idea, and leave it to the audiologist not to mention that I could purchase an extra earmold for my left ear . . . . What a butthead. Thanks so much, I will take this into consideration. :)

I read on the American Academy of Audiology website that if you have 1 aided ear and 1 unaided ear, that it is possible to have deterioration of the unaided ear because it isn't getting as much use. And thats coming from a website designed for the students and people in the profession of...

I am 23, almost 24, and am getting ready to get BTE hearing aids. I like to make a statement with my glasses, clothes, etc, and think it would be fun and unique to have colored hearing aids and earmolds. Custom ear plugs, hearing protection & in ear monitors :: Westone has some great earmold...

Hey guys, I haven't been on much lately, but I am still trying to get hearing aids. My vocational rehab department pushed it off onto the Lions club, which I was happy that they were willing to help, but then I went to the audiologist yesterday and he informed me that they are only going to...

I understand where you are coming from. :) That is a really interesting point, I have been thinking how it must be easier in the long run for me just to go completley deaf, then to be be in the middle like this. And since I don't have my HA's yet, it is even harder, and I get so frustrated...
