    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.

    Antibiotic's and hearing

    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.

    Stigma of hearing aids

    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...

    Menieres

    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.

    Phonak Compilot

    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.

    Change in hearing. help!

    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...

    Hello, newbie here, shopping for aids

    I too would try Costco if one is nearby. I know a couple people who have used rechargeable's and have had problems making it thru the day without them pooping out after about 9 months to a year. The cost for the rechargeable batteries is about the same as regular HA batteries when spread out...

    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...

    Another Newb

    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...

    Phonak ComPilot and iPhone 5 Issues

    The Bluetooth pairing is dropping out, basically unpairing and then repairing to the phone and that is why the message is coming through. You can probably turn the voice message off or have your audi do it through programming and you might not lose the hearing aid programming. For some reason...

    Phonak ComPilot and iPhone 5 Issues

    Dave, I have had a lot of trouble keeping anything made by Apple paired with my Oticon streamer through Bluetooth and have had to resort to using the patch cord to keep it connected. I have also heard other people with Phonak HA's having the same issues and I haven't heard of any other...

    How did you lose your hearing?

    Carbuff, That would do it. I have a friend who flew as a crewman in P-3 Orion's for I believe over 30 years and today he has a pretty severe hearing loss and has hearing aids provided by the VA.
