What's One Thing You'd Change in Getting Hearing Aids?

I regret my audiologist- she just wanted awards. Found out when I change to Penn care that she was not a well rounded audiologist. This means, she never did noise in speech testing. What a difference it’s made in evaluating what I need . They also understood who/ what I am. They would assess differently if I was in an office world. I am retired and my needs are different. Incredible team. I am to get a cochlear implant next year. Dr Brant knew I need to hear more music with my aids. He conceded other than sale reps at the convention at cochlear implants companies that it will effect my quality of hearing music .

So sorry you had a bad time with Doctors. I just had the implant on my right side for my hearing aid. Before they did the implant they put the hearing aid on the back of my head and wow I was able to hear really great from my right ear. So I'm looking forward in having the left side done next month. I've had bad hearing since I was 5 I'm now 61 and I'm happy as a kid with a lollypop. I went to the mayo Clinic in Jax FL and they are helping me greatly and they call the surgery BAHA and so I get my hearing aid 15 of August and second surgery Aug 26 , so my other hearing aid I'll get it in oct after I heal from surgery. It takes about 6 to 8 weeks for recovery but that ok being able to hear will be great. I hope it turn out ok for you good luck it has helped me
