[nfb-db] hearing aides and more

[Marsha Drenth]

Sheila,
Do you mean like in Implants, as Cochlor Implants? 
I was told that I needed to get them. If you have some hearing left over, although not great, if you were to get CI, they would destroy the rest of your natural hearing. I am not sure how bad your hearing is before you should CI's.

> hi I just got my hearing aides adjusted on Friday. My T coils are now activated. I didn't even know that they needed to be. I thought that because they were a part of my aides that they were automatically activated. I also want to know because someone asked me if I would be getting implants, how much hearing loss do you need to have to need them? I also know they are really expensive, and does insurance pay for them? just want to know in case this discussion comes up.thanks much.
