Now with my hearing shot, it is all just sounds, faint.
Long ago the VA told me aids would be of no use to me, they simply increased the volume.
About twenty years ago a physician friend of my wife said try again, there have been major advances with computerization.
I had (PAST TENSE)the famous gold plated insurance.
Major improvement and better with each replacement.
My gold plated insurance that I paid $20k a year, for many years to stay paid in full forever... Was destroyed by 0bamacare. But now I can get a sex change!!!
My buddies say the VA will cover them? I was wounded in the head 1969.
The hard part is finding a trustworthy audiologist.
Many are like used car salesmen, not all.
My audiologist says it affects balance too!
Helen Keller said deafness was the worst of the lot, and she would know.
With speech recognition, noise canceling, auto voice zoom...
Go for it!
Yeah, the everything is louder with aids. So much so that it can be painful in a restaurant when I wear them to hear the wife and waiter.
They keep saying to wear them more often to learn to hear again, but that darn things make my ears itch after a while.
The hearing aid places are like used car salesmen. Everyone has the latest and greatest. Had one aid go dead, the dealer says it cannot be fixed, have to spend several k for new ones. Find a place online that fixes them for a couple hundred bucks.
Balance, ruined my right inner ear scuba diving so my balance is really hosed. Hard to figure how hearing has anything to do with that unless inner ear damage which an aid will not fix.
If I could really pick out voices from the crashing noise, a new pair might be interesting. Would need to try the VA as my self paid ins does not cover. Doubt the VA has the good stuff.
