Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others

That is just amazing that a disability that affects so many people around the world was not being researched before 1988.
Hopefully they can put a sense of urgency in to their research and things might accelerate.
Getting along with my Signia IX 7 hearing aids. They are better than the AX platform. Hoping the new platforms they are working on are even better. Seems like every 18
months they make a new breakthrough. At only $1,800 for the pair I can take advantage as soon as they do.
Thanks for thoughtful response to my questions. I love the interaction. .

I read that they are trying to pass bipartisan legislation in the House and Senate to have Medicare and Medicaid approve fully implantable CI’s I believe the company is Envoy Medical and the product goes by the name Esteem. Are you familiar with this technology?
I would love to hear from you or anyone else in the group.
The legislation just was brought up recently and it could be a game changer for those of us that would like to go swimming along with many other activities without worrying about damaging our hearing aids or CI.

Good to hear that your Signia hearing aids are helping you. Unfortunately, $1800/pair is difficult for many people who need quality hearing aids. So many are three times that price for a pair. Thus the advent of over the counter hearing aids. Important to know they are not for people with severe hearing loss. The jury is still out on how effective they are for people with lesser degrees of hearing loss.
We'd love to hear more from them.
Discussing our experiences is definitely helpful. Thank you for that comment. Julie
