Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others

Thanks for your insight about hearing aids; very helpful. I went back to the audiologist yesterday, and she was very helpful and patient with my questions (which surprised me). I slowly developed a rapport with her, I think, and I will be trying a brand new product which, while not inexpensive, she seemed to think would suit me and also help with the tinnitus. I did ask a lot of questions so - fingers crossed - this will work out in the end.

Glad you are off to a good and confident start with the audiologist! I believe that the more we participate in our hearing health care, the greater the chances of happy success. The kind of rapport you describe helps us to develop realistic expectations about what is possible with a chosen treatment and how to get there. Continued good luck to you!!!
@tarheel It's always great to see someone making good use out of offered good advice!

@tarheel, there is so much to hearing loss than just hearing aids. I commend you for reaching out to others with hearing loss. Most people rely only on their hearing health care provider for their expertise. Many are not aware of other technology that's available. You may want to consider joining HLAA (www.hearingloss.org). Membership gets you a subscription to their magazine, which is printed every other month. You'll join others in our advocacy efforts to make hearing loss an issue of national concern.
