Title: Successful Experience With Hearing Aid
Post by: terisandler on March 18, 2014, 10:25:45 am

Well I discovered that my spending almost $2K on a hearing aid that does little to improve my word recognition was actually worth it.  I spent about 2 hours Saturday in an extraordinarily noisy, acoustically challenged venue for my grandson's birthday called "Jump-it".  Lots of kids shouting, lots of echoing noise.  The only place that was quiet was the bathroom.  And although I couldn't really hear much I was very pleased that the noise didn't overwhelm me as it used to prior to using my hearing aid.

Hi Teri!! Glad to hear that this thing lived up to your expectations!  I'm sorry you had to go through all the insurance hassles that you had to, but as you said, you'll be glad you did in the long run! :)

Thanks, Jay.  Every once in a while I wonder why I spent that significant amount of money on the hearing aid since I still don't understand most of what people are saying.  But I know the quality of my hearing is better with it than without it so I can't complain.  I still have pretty good hearing in my non AN ear.
