[nabs-l] Hearing aids

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello Sami,

While there may be some students on this email list who use hearing aids,
you may wish to consider posting this message on the deaf-blind email list.
You can find information about this email list at
http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfb-db_nfbnet.org. You may be able to
receive more responses to your questions on the def-blind email list than
you may receive on this email list. From what I have observed, it seems to
me like the deaf-blind division has become a more active division over the
last couple of years. I would highly encourage anyone who is deaf-blind to
check out this division as they would have more resources and experiences
with the deaf-blind community.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Subject: [nabs-l] Hereing aids

Hi all,

I'm creating this thread for those of you on this list who  use hearing
aids.
I'm just curious to know what kind of hearing aids you have, and whether
they work for y; can you here well enough with them, depending on your
hearing loss (moderate or severe?) Also, how much can you here without
asking for people to repeat what they're saying? Also, do you wear the aids
in both ears or just one?

  Let me tell you about my personal experience.  I use Bolero Q90 hearing
aids from Phonac, which I wear in both my ears.
I have moderate hearing loss in my right ear, and more severe in my left.
 I find them to be extremely effective in helping me with my hearing, as I
don't have to ask people to repeat what they said most of the time.  In
fact, my audiologist told me that my aids are one of the best so far.
These are my second pair of aids; I got my first pair 5 years ago, but they
weren't good at all, as I had to constantly ask people for what they said.

I'm looking forward hearing about all your experiences.
Again, I'm not an audiologist and I'm not starting a project about this, I'm
just curious to learn about hearing loss and hearing aids, and I know that
there are people here who use them.

Hope to here from you soon.

Thanks,

Sami.
