Yes, he was and probably still is, but thankfully he last visited this site two years ago.

I would go back to the VA and try again. You have to be making a boat load of money to not qualify for HA's through them. Perhaps they made a mistake.

Phonak Niada UP.

First go see an ENT (ear, nose and throat) doctor to rule out anything medically wrong with your ears. Then they will refer you to an audiologist who will give you the choice of several hearing aids that they feel will be the best for your hearing loss.

Lucie, I have been wearing hearing aids for 5 years and have had no problems adjusting to them at all. I came out of my initial fitting with my target at 100% of amplification and have had a few adjustments along the way but have been very satisfied with the results. I was not really...

Talk to your audiologist or ENT. What HA's you get depend on degree of hearing loss. No brand that I know of are specific for meniers.

Sounds like there might of been an Ipod or some other music streaming device nearby when you paired the ComPilot to the TV Link. Try clearing the memory and re pairing the ComPilot to the TV Link.

When was the last time you were seen by an ENT? If your ear is leaking fluid you need to go see one ASAP. It sounds like you might have a lot of fluid in your ears but only a doctor will be able to tell if this is true. Your 10 year old HA might be part of your problem also and it's...

Just do a search of audiologist in chennai and you will find several.

Ron, Keep a journal listing where and when you are having problems, it will help your fitter make the necessary adjustments. Good luck!

What kind of trial period is your audi willing to give you and are they willing to let you trial both aids before making a decision? It might be worth asking.

Are you looking for a RIC/BTE? I have Oticon Agil Pro's that are BTE's with the receivers in the canal. Yes, they do have more options than an ITE does. Oticon offers a lot of their models with standard tubing and also with RIC. Standard tubing requires that the tubing has to be replaced...

Are you talking about an ITE or CIC from Oticon? Have you talked to your audiologist?

First of all welcome aboard. What your saying is that you have a sensorineural hearing loss that falls in the mild to severe range and probably starts at 1,000 hertz and slopes downward from there. Speech reception is at what dB level you know speech is present and they masked your non test...
