Willing to share about your progressive hearing loss?

@janetexmsrrose There are some very basic hand held microphone accessories that can help a great deal in noisy environments. Did your provider tell you about them?
I have learned more about assistive technology from other people with hearing loss than anywhere else. If there is an HLAA Chapter in your area, it is well worth attending their meetings. A lot of them are meeting online via Zoom so are open to people who are not able to attend in person. The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) has good information on their website too. http://www.hearingloss.org

@julieo4 As the holidays are upon us that means more crowds and noisier environments.
I just saw a new audiologist who suggested I get a new custom ear mold that can accommodate a stronger receiver for my hearing aid. I have severe hearing loss and he said this could help immensely and give him more room to program my hearing aids more effectively for clarity especially with background noise.
I have the Signia IX 7 hearing aids and he said this is more cost effective than buying new hearing aids.
I would love to hear if others on the site have tried a more powerful receiver.
Happy holidays everyone.
