The VA provides my AIDS now (30% disability, they even send me a check every month [well, not send - deposit]).
However for my almost entire carer I had to put up with extreme hearing loss.
What bugs me is that the audiologist can never really get it set right. It would be much better if I could adjust the volume, bass and treble myself much as on a car radio. From, say, my smart phone...
The other gripe I have is that sometimes after 50 years of not hearing the high frequencies, I’m not interested in hearing them. Just turn the volume up for God’s sake.
They tried to sell me a remote volume devise. Not worth the extra $$.
Hubby gets 10% of his Pension check separate, and Income Tax free for his Flight Deck hearing loss. He did comm on the Flight deck. That is the field he also taught.
I have Sharkey Halo's that have an iPhone app that does just that. Can play with all the settings, volume. Can stream to your ears through your phone. Uses GPS so you can have settings on where you're at (work, home etc...) and it will change when you're at the location.
