Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others

Jabra trial hearings are my new try and if no success, Phillips. Only trials as of now. Fingers are crossed and prayers.

I hope they work but Jabral hearing aids and Phillips hearing are offered at Costco.
Phillips is just Oticon 3 year old technology.
You might have to go to a real Audiologist to get what you need if you have profound hearing loss like I do.
I might have an affordable solution for you depending on whether you are in Medicare.
Another solution would be to go to an Audiologist who will work with TruHearing. Google TruHearing and find out more about them.

I encounter the same situations - very frustrating. Would you let me know which hearing aids you try. I have tried Octicon and Phonak but the clarity is not there if you are talking with more than one person.

I did the audiologist trying Oticon but no better than my Rextons so I went back to Costco. I like their audiologist who works with me. He is good but so far the hearing aids aren’t there as of yet. I did fine at first before my hearing became worse. I can’t help but think in the ear sound and headphones can’t help but cause less ability to hear as I have to have loud in order to hear so more decibels going into ear to further hearing loss. Not sure but my own theory. They are so loud for me to halfway hear that others in the room and hear the tv. Not good. Thank you for your info. No I have not Medicare advantage as choose F no out of pocket plan. I chose to stay with it. I’m not sure it’s the right decision.

I’m trialing the Jabra hearing aids! So far no better! Than my Rexton! I tried through an audiologist the Icticons and was ready to purchase but changed my mind as I was still experiencing the lack of clarity! The audiologists were not as available as Costco is and they were way across town and I go to that end as rarely as possible at my age! I like Costco’s team! They are very available and so nice! My audiologist works very hard for me and truly cares! I’ll post my success once I’m done which may be weeks as it will be ongoing for quite a while I imagine! Thanks for your reply!

I am glad you liked my comment. I hope everyone in the group brings someone new to the group.
The more people the more we can learn about the latest advances being made in the hearing aid industry.
I am trying acupuncture this week because my audiologist said some of her clients reported some improvement in their hearing. I am not expecting much but even a slight improvement would be greatly appreciated.
I will share what I find out with the group.
There is strength in numbers and we need to reach as many people as we possibly can.

As I said before the Signia AX are not there yet either.
Because of this group my next Signia IX hearing aids will have the telecoil feature. I don’t think she would have included that feature if I didn’t bring it up.
Thanks to everyone in the group for sharing their experiences.
