I am really enjoying my new hearing aids!!! You can't see them, they do have a part that hangs behind the ear. I can answer my phone without doing a thing! And I can adjust the sound when in a really loud restaurant. AND the best part is they are going to help get rid of my tinnitus over a period of 6 months! I have lived with it since 1995. So, I am really loving these. My insurance is covering 60% of the cost, even if I pay them off in 2 yrs.
 

Do they ever interfer with your glasses.

Aren’t they great? Enjoy answering my phone on mine too. Do you have the adapter you can hook up to your tv and listen to the tv? Comes in so handy when wife’s talking on the phone and I can still hear the tv nice and clear.

I have behind the ear hearing aids. I don’t wear them all the time but they’ve never been a problem with my glasses. Or the sunglasses I wear over the top of my classes.

Thanks, Ronni. I forgot. I sometimes have the double pair of glasses too.

I want some! I have hearing loss Service connected disability money from the VA burning a hole in my pocket.

What is the manufacturer or distributor name?
 
@Nathan I second what @Pappy said, why don't you reach out to the VA for your hearing aids?
I've on my third set and they are top of the line Phonak.
(Phonak Virto M90)
Cost me 0 dollars

They have all the lastest features like blue-tooth.

The VA tested me and I got to choose which ones I wanted.
This service is available to service connected veterans.

I have in-the-ear type with batteries and they give you a free
supply of batteries for as long as you have the aids, or you could choose the rechargeable ones.

Give them a try.

Nathan. Why not get your aids from the VA. I’m on my 4th pair. They have Resound aids and they work very well.

I really need to figure that out and just do it. I suppose there will be a mountain of paperwork, as I don't have my healthcare through the VA. Part of the reason I procrastinate is the 100 mile round trip. shrug.gif
 
All this discussion made me decide to see what kind of medical discounts I can get. $700. Big deal on $6000.
 
Good news. I'm glad they are helping you. It has to be a great benefit to your life.
