    Finally!

    i am getting phonak. I don't have a cell phone as unusual as this sounds, so that sort of stuff is not needed for me. :) but thank you. I also have two horses and am more of a country life style person so it's all good. :) however the remote is necessary so i can adjust volume. ^^

    Finally!

    Finally some good news. I switched audiologists and said I was never going to go back there to that other place ever again. This place was much more professional and the test lasted longer than ten minutes. Little did i know the place i had complained about has been getting numerous complaints...

    Anybody had an audiologist switch your hearing aid requests on you?

    Thank you!! I thought so too. It was just her behaviour during the whole thing that really put me off. I really think she is not used to people realizing they are not going to get what they want. I think, I might be wrong on this though; her attitude was my way or the highway. I do agree with...

    Anybody had an audiologist switch your hearing aid requests on you?

    My thoughts exactly. I went back in there and told them i wasn't going to sign the paper quite calmly until i get what i want and then they had the guts to call my doctor back and say i was bad tempered and apparently yelling (I was assertive, but nowhere near yelling Talk about black mailing...

    Hi! New and I'm getting hearing aids!

    hello. and it's okay, i make bad puns all the time :3! It has been quite a battle. I mean something that's supposed to be helping me and she seems to want to do only what she wants and not listen to the person's needs or desires? I expressed to Dad we are trying a new place and he agreed. I...

    Hi! New and I'm getting hearing aids!

    thanks! I don't know why she suddenly got snappy with me like that, even worse when I stood my ground! I don't think they're used to people saying what they want when it comes to that company. Sometimes I think when they are on commission I'm guessing they can get pretty ugly, can't say as I...

    Hi! New and I'm getting hearing aids!

    actually there wound up being quite a scuffle.The audiologist once again refused to do what was given to her on the doctor's sheet. I said to her, "I'm not signing this myself until I get what I want." The secretary on the other hand was very sweet in nature agreed with me. Since she kept...

    Anybody had an audiologist switch your hearing aid requests on you?

    This has happened to me twice. I had full mold with hook hearing aids and they worked just fine for me. I liked them the first time but some idiot changed it into slim tubes without my say so and because my ear canals are small that hurt my ears! I still have those old things but won't use them...

    Hi! New and I'm getting hearing aids!

    had a great appointment and was treated with a warm welcome and treated like a family member more than just a person searching for a hearing aid. However colour selections were limited and as i suspected I am moderate hearing loss! Last place I went at accused me blatantly of faking my hearing...

    Hi! New and I'm getting hearing aids!

    Ah okay. Thank you though. ^^ I hope these new ones will work better than the last. Thank you! I like to wear these colours quite often for my clothes which is why i chose these. I get to see the audiologist tomorrow. :) It's also the assessment day but the secretary said there's one user they...

    Hi! New and I'm getting hearing aids!

    I think I finally settled on a pair of colours for my hearing aids! Thanks again for sharing that chart. Yellow ear mold and blue behind the ear! :) Maybe there might be purple swirled in with the yellow :D I have also heard it can be quite a shock when you hear better (but I think that varies)...

    Hi! New and I'm getting hearing aids!

    thanks again! I'm feeling even more at ease now. I wasn't sure how the out come was going (and i won't until i get them) to be but with someone i can relate to is really easy to talk to about this and be better prepared. ^^ I just saw the sheet! There are so many colours to choose from! :O...

    What can I expect during my fitting?

    I hear getting a hearing aid is called a fitting but it doesn't come over night of course! Can someone tell me what the process is like please at least a little bit? I know there's a hearing test before hand though. The secretary explained about the test to me on the phone but that was it...

    Hi! New and I'm getting hearing aids!

    Hi there. I am new here and getting hearing aids. I thought it might be good to find people i can relate to to talk about some issues I have questions with. I had a pair of very old painful hearing aids and I'm getting new ones! Open ones and i can't hear a thing out of them! I need a full ear...
