I am getting mine through Veteran Affairs......there is really no telling what their process is. They might just issue them to me....or that appointment in March might be the ear mold and ordering phase and the person making the appointment might have been wrong about going home with hearing...
My hearing was tested and the audiologist said I have a rather steep loss of high frequency and that I could benefit from hearing aids.
My follow up appointment with the hearing aid tech is scheduled for 03.21.18.
The person that scheduled that appointment tells me I will go home with hearing...
