Nate,

I can't WAIT to get mine! First purchase with disability money after I pay off the credit cards I put my doc bills and health insurance on. I hope the price goes down to about $10.00 by then!

I have some questions that may seem a bit stupid, but then I'm guess I'm a bit stupid.  lol  Do you go to an audiologists to get these hearing devices?  How do you find out if your insurance will cover it?

Nate,

How does your Phonak Cros-link work in noisy background situations (restaurants,etc.)? 

[Chris]

Excuse the ignorance. Does this device transfer sound to the good ear? How does it block the tinnitus noise? Mine is quite loud and my AN side is totally deaf. My other ear is good but useless in a crowded room with background noise.

Nate is in the middle of moving so it might be a while before he answers.  He is deaf on his an side too.  I was told that hearing aids can block tinnitus noise I'm not sure why but just have been told that it can and according to nate for him it does.  I think it masks the noise.  I'm hoping to get evaluated for aids soon.  Chris's mom mentioned a new type of aid in one of her posts, the web page was interesting.

Thanks, I'll certainly be looking into this. When you have finished moving Nate, could you please give us an update.
