@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.
