Well, unfortunately, I'm paying $2,000. I am excited about being able to
hear though.

Terry,Bernice,  it doesn't matter if the phone is on or off. Your hearing
aids attached or not attached to the phone it will still work fine. I use
Oticon Ruby. I was not hearing right a year into using the aids. My computer
buddy went into the phone and turned my right aid up, Voila, I was hearing
fine, again.

The supplemental insurance I have, Kaiser, has a foundation type grant for
those who are low income. It is generous. I qualify, and only paid zero for
these two thousand dollar blue tooth hearing aids. Mine are blue toothed to
my phone. It is nice to hear music wherever I go in my home, for example,
clearly. I have blue toothed to football games, and podcast. I would think
if you need visual help in say a store, and everyone seems to be busy, you
can call the apps that give immediate help and you will hear clearly the
agent describe in your ear through the blue tooth connettion. I don't know
with my hearing I would be able to hear the agent in a busy store with the
tiny speaker in the phones both of you mentioned.

Let me know what kind you get!
I want some that are not controlled by alexa or an I-phone.  I want them to
be self controlled!
Write me directly, with the brand and price, please.

I had so much trouble hearing at the state convention, I said, no more
conventions until I get hearing aids. I also was wondering if I could
continue working without them. My hearing aids will have a switch on them
that will allow me to use a headset.

My success doesn't relate to crafts directly. I checked into my hearing aid
benefit one more time, and found that I misunderstood it. I thought the
benefit amount was what the insurance paid, and that I would be stuck with
thousands of dollars to pay. It is the opposite. I pay the benefit amount,
and the insurance pays the rest. I should receive my hearing aids in about a
week. I'm very excited. I'm so glad I tried one more time to understand the
process.

Here we are with the final successful Saturday of 2023!  Does anyone have a
success they want to share?  A project started or completed, a goal reached,
or getting through something scary or difficult, but you did it?

Let us know, and we'll celebrate with you.

Tracy
