I had a hearing test at hospital following an acoustic neuroma surgery which left me with hearing in one ear. That ear is now losing upper speech patterns, and doctors recommending a hearing aid. At reputable hearing centers, hearing aids range from $800 to $3000,(for one) and some require a high consultation fee. The on line centers average around $365 which is a big difference when you have no insurance. Thanks. This is a serious matter. I have a hearing aid that does not fit. I have special ears that were damaged by a car crash. I went to a reputable clinic and was fitted to one that works nicely. The big problem, I am stuck with the other hearing aid from the internet. Bad idea. My son was born deaf. I'm sorry I dint know what acoustic neuroma is. You might be able to qualify for social security & you can use that money to see doctors, or since you have a disability you may qualify for medicade in your state.
I dont know how old you are,but i know my son just turned 4 & his ears grow so i seemed like we were at his ENT doctor every few months to get a new mold to fit inside his ear.
I know where I live there are some agencies that can help pay for cost of hearing aids. I believe easter seals.
My son recently had a cochlear implant in his left ear & can now hear out of that ear. would an implant work for you?? its a 70,000- procedure thank god for insurance.
well good luck to you i wish you the best if you ever wanna talk email me.
also there is a great website www.ivillage.com they have message boards where you can ask questions like this theres alot people that are or have someone close that is deaf. well you can get answers to any quetion |
