@hedy I agree with you 100%. I've had hearing loss and worn aids for 20 years. I went to 4 different Audi's, all one person offices but all were recommended at the time. Then I went to Penn Audiology (Univ. of Penn.) and have found the best Audi I've ever met. Helpful, explains everything and because she is younger and grew up with technology, she is great at recommending and explaining what to buy and how to use it. A 2nd benefit is she is a CI trained Audi also so when I got my surgery 3 weeks ago for a CI she will remain as my Audi.

I also have a State college near me (West Chester Univ.) that offers free hearing tests through their Communications Disorders Dept. which is great for low income people. So I recommend to people I meet through my outreach I do with HLAA to consider University's also and those that did have been very happy.

I have also been disappointed with the several audiologists I have seen and am glad you found a good one, and to learn they really do exist. I am interested in CI, but very hesitant.
Thanks for the reminder to look at university options.
