Had my appointment with the Audiologist. I requested no more tests because I'm not ready to hear that it's worse. and the test would confirm that. What am I going to hear on a Hearing test if I can't hear anything without my Hearing Aids and can't make out the sound of my own voice? She said that I should still have one. Well, she said that even though I am totally deaf without hearing Aids, I can still hear some with them so I'm still not a candidate for Cochlear Implants. In this Province they use that when all other methods to improve hearing have been exhausted, after that a person goes into a program for various tests to see if they would even be eligible? She offered to put in a higher speaker in the remaining ear. I already have one in my right ear. I asked her about the Shake up alarm and got plenty of information about that, so I will be ordering that. She also mentioned Streaming and I have to look into that more, if I can't hear, will streaming help me, or do I still have to use my Oticon Remote for my hearing Aids. I asked her about the Captioned phone, and was told, I would have to order the service through my Provider, and the calls would be made through an Operator, and then I would read the calls, kind of sounds like a bother, when I asked her if just texting would be a better option. She agreed. That about sums it up.
Thanks for listening.
