Hi JK,
Yes. One does feel alone, even in one’s family. I am feeling better with the responses I have been receiving these past few days. They have really helped. Having a hearing aid “crap out” on me is teaching me to do better next time-get my money’s worth. Which ever hearing brand I go with, I will make sure I get the aid checked on a schedule much like a car.
Today’s mail brought me good news! I don’t have to wait. The insurance approval came through. The procedure is same day at a surgery center not at a hospital. I’m 58 almost 59. It’s time to wake up the left side of my head.

@maryella7 That's wonderful that you don't have to wait for you BAHA, you must be so excited to be able to move forward on it. I really am excited for you and look forward to hearing how it goes.
I know little about these, but I presume that there are different brands as there are in regular HAs. I hope the audiologist you are dealing with recommends a good one for you. I have good experiences with regular HA brands Phonak, and Oticon. My daughter currently has ReSound and loves them. I have had Widex recommended too by a highly regarded audiologist. Do these brands also make the BAHAs?
