Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others

@annab21 Thank you for sharing your story. It is similar to mine, but my hearing loss wasn't diagnosed until I was in college. I have an older Roger Pen that can be used with my Widex hearing aid with a streamer that came with the Roger Pen. It's a shame that some of these accessories are not universal. I'm not familiar with the Oticon Prostreamer.
You have worked very hard to remain in and succeed in the hearing mainstream in spite of your profound hearing loss. That takes courage. Congratulations to you for all you have achieved.
A true game changer for me was getting a cochlear implant. I now use both a hearing aid and
the CI. They both work remarkably well together. Have you considered a cochlear implant?

Hi Julie, Thank you for your encouraging, kind words and info about the Roger pen. I currently have oticon pro streamer, oticon mini microphone, Roger easy pen, and phonak universal roger X for my older Oticon non-Bluetooth aids. I had tried to use all with my t-coil program on my exceed aids but can’t get sound. My HIS could not help with that. I have thought about cochlear implants, and will consider it later down the road. The idea of drilling into my head gives me pause.
