I lost my $10,000 hearing aids

[nefertiti]

This is why whenever I get engaged I am telling my fiance to return my nice ring for a piece of junk from claires.

I can function fine without them till I can get replacements (which will probably take about a month) as I didn't get them till I was 21 and in that time learned how to block out background noises and focus my hearing on a specific voice as well as reading lips, but it still BLOWS. I am SO PISSED at myself for being so careless.

 

[the_clockwork]

I'm confused.. why do you have hearing aids? what does this have to do with rings?

 

[calveless wonder]

whoa....that sucks.

how did you hearing deteriorate so badly when you were little?

you basically were half deaf growing up?

maybe they'll turn up.......probably in a random spot.

 

[Mr. Black]

How did you lose hearing aids? Did you take them out somewhere and you forgot where? Lose them swimming?

 

[stilleto]

that sucks! how did you lose them? at home?? at the gym??
maybe they'll turn up?

I have a friend with a congenital hearing loss and i know her hearing aides cost a fortune for her and her son.

i hope you find them... did you have insurance, either renters or medical that will cover it??

 

[vixensghost]

Hon, do you own a home? Your policy might cover the loss.

Sorry!I hope they turn up soon. Pretty pricey lesson!

 

[nefertiti]

Clockwork, I have hearing aids because I'm hard of hearing, doofus. 70% loss. It has to do with rings because I obviously cannot be trusted to keep track of small things. They are tiny.

Caveless, born that way, but I adjusted so well that I didn't even know how bad it was till I got my hearing checked when I was 21.

Mr. Black...I took them out over the weekend when I went to the pool and LEFT THEM SITTING THERE.

 

[jh1]

what?

 

[jerkbox]

ouch!.....that sucks

 

[nefertiti]

I have them insured, thank god...Won't cost me tooooo much to get the replacements. I'm just really pissed at myself for being careless.

 

[jackangel]

is there anything i can do?

 

[calveless wonder]

Caveless

wtf?
why does everyone do this!!

at least you're insured. i'm sure you'll be more careful next time.

 

[javaguru]

I have them insured, thank god...Won't cost me tooooo much to get the replacements. I'm just really pissed at myself for being careless.

It's over and done.....no reason to keep beating yourself up about it. Just don't do it again.

 

[stilleto]

I'm confused.. why do you have hearing aids? what does this have to do with rings?

i'm guessing she has hearing aids because she has hearing loss.

its just a guess. i could be WAY off.


and i think she's saying that she loses things easily, thus the need for an inexpensive ring rather than an expensive one she'll likely lose.

 

[vixensghost]

I have them insured, thank god...Won't cost me tooooo much to get the replacements. I'm just really pissed at myself for being careless.

Thank God you have them insured!

Don;t be so hard on yourself. Just trace your steps and maybe they'll turn up..FINGERS AND TOES CROESSED FOR U!

 

[Tytan]

Life lessons suck......Hope you find them and don`t have to spend alot of money replacing them.

 

[nefertiti]

what?

If I had a PENNY for how often people do this to me....lol

The worst part is I always fall for it.

yes I understand hearing aids aid you in hearing I meant did you suffer trauma or born that way?

 

[cindylou]

damn that sucks.

the only way i have not lost my ring yet is to never ever ever ever take it off. Ever.

cant do that with hearing aids huh?

Must be a dirty nasty looking ring if you never take it off to clean it / be cleaned.

Congrats.

u know what i mean.

when I have it cleaned I stand there while they clean it. Obviously take it off for that I dont clean it myself though.

The ones I bought are still about as good as you get on the market. Can't be seen unless you are looking directly into my ear, I hear better than normal, background noise cancellation, interference cancellation, digital self adjusting volume for noisy places, etc.

want me to dress up like princess leia?

 

[nefertiti]

jh1....that's probably the one thing that makes me miserable when I don't wear them...I can't understand whispers.

 

[bigmann245]

that sucks. my moms side deafness runs in my family. my grandfather is 80% deaf, my aunts are all going deaf real fast, my uncle is completely deaf and my mom is losing hers fast as well. when i was in the Navy we had to wear hearing protection all the time on the flight deck and because of my family history i always had the foamies and ear covers on at the same time to keep me from speeding it up.

i know that in the near future i will need them because my grandfather on my dads side is very hard of hearing and that side of the family does not get theirs checked for fear of finding out theirs is bad too. sucks but what can you do.

i hope you find them or get them replaced quickly. im about to take sign language in college as an elective here shortly and i think its about time.

I'm not into doodz....Pick3 might take you up on the offer.

[nefertiti]

They have them...cochlear implants. But you have to have a certain kind of deafness to respond to them. From what I understand you also have to be SUPER careful of static electricity.

mine do all that and I'm not sure I like some of those features
If I play music loud in the car or home they'll be doing all that cancelation stuff and it fucks with the sound field
I go back once a month and the guy plugs the aids into a computer and it can tell how much noise they've been receiving and how often i've been wearing them etc.
and then he makes adjustments
I haven't been too happy with them until recently when I stopped by the store and a woman was there from the manufacturer(has a masters in sound)
and she adjusted them to almost perfect
now I can't be w/o them

I've never had a problem with that EXCEPT at concerts where they essentially become about as useful as earplugs.

 

[AAP]

They have them...cochlear implants. But you have to have a certain kind of deafness to respond to them. From what I understand you also have to be SUPER careful of static electricity.

Actually the company that "invented" the cochlear implants are not even in business anymore. If you need service or something, you have to visit a designated third party. There were too many problems with the implants. The original ones were implanted with the tiny remote that turned them on and off (so people could sleep at night without the loud noises) and when you lost the remote.... or it broke... well you guessed it.

The next kind was the type that the implant was a better quality, but needed a stronger battery source and you had to insert a tiny batter pak in your ear drum to power the aid. And since you were already inserting something in your ear..... might as well go with an aid.

CIC styles are so tiny that you can't help to lose them. And when you do, the "replacements" usually tend to be the bigger half shell types. Make sure your current model hasn't been discontinued which is usual about 3 years after they are made. If it is, you insist on getting a style that is like your old one and do NOT agree on the general term "suitable replacement" because all they do is load the hearing profile into a generic ear molded shell. And it won't be able to insert far in your ear like the CIC.

They now have a micro aid that goes behind the ear. I think it is made by Phonak and one other company. It goes behind the ear, but unlike the old ones that look like a slug crawled up your neck, this is about the size of your thumbnail. There is a clear tiny tube that runs into the ear canal with a tiny sound head on it. They are basically invisible. Feedback is also nonexistent as well. Also, they have a 4th setting that is programmable for phone use. Although one of the companies I forget which) is automatic. You simply pick up a phone - any kind - and the magnetic coil in the phone activates the aid when you put the phone up to your ear and the aid draws the sound from the phone through it's digital processor and out the sound head at the bottom.

Sorry for your misfortune, hope they do turn up. One thing someone should always do at some point of time is "lose" their hearing aid. That way your insurance gets you replacements and you still really have the old ones. So if you ever do lose them or they break, you have an alternative ready and don't have to wait a month inbetween.

Good info...I might look into that other kind. They do still make mine, thank goodness. There's no way I'll do anything but CIC or something equally invisible. I'm too (admittedly) vain.

Interesting what you said about the cochlear implants. I believe it. All I remember is one girl at my mom's school had to use a desk with tennis ball halves on the feet. I'm fine with the CIC, I just need to really be better about not taking them out unless I have the case handy. Now I have to be deaf girl for like a month.

 

[Raptorex]

I'll say a prayer for you to St. Jude and St. Anthony; I truly hope you find them - my Aunt is dependent on hers also.

Here is the Phonak brand.

scroll down towards bottom of file and you can view the actual size.

The other one is very more tiny. I think they start at like $2000 each.

I am not sure why yours cost $10,000.

Also, if you have health insurance they (sometimes) will pay a small percentage. Not much, but every little bit counts.

My health insurance covers 1000 towards hearing aids. Not much, but something. Do you work in this area? You know an AWFUL lot about it (which is awesome, I'm coming to you with any questions I ever have about it)

Ughhhh just clicked the link and saw the pictures. WAY too visible. I'll stick to CIC even without the nifty phone setting.

 

[Lestat]

can I ask how you lost hearing?

I dated a gal who had birth trauma that lead to some hearing loss, she wore hearing aids in both ears but could get by (barely) without them.

 

[AAP]

No, I don't work in the area. Though have enough first hand knowledge of it from the past years.

Actually $1000 is a lot to go towards hearing aids. 90% of insurance companies won't pay anything because they will say that you fall under the Pre-Existing Condition clause of their guidelines if it is heriditary.

Still $10,000 is a lot to pay. Not sure why Spartacus paid so much for his either. Hopefully he got a penis extension with it.

Ask your audiologist about the Phonak Micro and the other one. I will get the name of it when I get home. When you do ask them, watch their face light up and they just SMILE so big. I know they will do this because I am sure that they have been riding your ass for a while to try out the behind ear brands because... (say it with me).. "the CIC style has very limited output and even when maxed out you are not getting the power you need. You need more power and the CIC can't produce it due to the small size."

Have many times have you heard that line before? And rolled your eyes at it while thinking "if it ain't invisible, I ain't wearing it?"

See? I've been reading your diary.

The first two pictures are not theirs, they are using it to show the "old" models of behind ear and IC.

No shit, for half that I'll just follow you around and scream everything in your ear.

Hmmm...Still, the little over the ear thing...I guess I;d have to see it on me.

 

[nefertiti]

gotmilk and puddle...you'd understand if you knew what it was like. The first day I wore my hearing aids, I cried. Seriously, I cried, and HARD. I couldn't believe how much I'd been missing. Plus, the big clunky ones are a lot cheaper, but no way in hell was I going to do that.

Which only looks like a bluetooth device. Trust me, you won't be able to see it on you.

Also, one thing you may want to look into is visiting Vocational Rehab offices. They help hearing impaired individuals get new hearing aids (any kind) for free. This isn't the plastic klunky kind that run off a size "D" battery either. These are the newest models on the market. Any style you like. By any manufactor you wish.

VR also provides other services like free college sponsorships and such too. They will send you to school to be anything you wish and it costs you nothing. They even give you a gas card every week to assist with fuel costs.

Worth looking into. They are a division that is often overlooked and unheard of. They will do anything to help you because the more people they help the more budget they are given the next year.

"Most retail hearing aid offices charge in upwards of $3000 each for Destiny, Rhapsody and Virtue hearing aids. Compare our low Starkey hearing aid prices. Our price includes services that are provided in your local area by one of our network providers."

How can our prices be so low? Because we buy and sell allot more Starkey hearing aids than your single retail office.
I paid 2259 a piece at a local center
and add 330 sales tax

Same thing applies for hot tubs too.

lol...get this, I used to cheat on my hearing tests in school because I got frustrated by them. So I told the nurse that the earphones made my ears ring and I couldn't tell if I heard the note or if it was the ringing. So she told me I could face her and she'd tell me when she was pushing the button for sound and I'd tell her if I heard it. Naturally I lied and said yes to almost all of them. This worked till my senior year when she finally caught on and made me face away. She commeneted on my hearing loss and suggested I see a specialist but I never told my mom

if hypathetically, we were an item, and i really loved you, i would HAVE to make fun of your hearing. hearing just wouldnt be an issue so id think of it as just a little teasing. but if i hurt your feelings i would hurt too, and do everythng to make you know i loved you and the jokes were something i was doing because i loved everything about you, and was having fun with it, as opposed to being mean and cruel

LOL.. so how long have you been 'wishing to date her' ???

around the same amount of time you've been e-humping the idea of ilk's sister.

There are some jokes that I'm fine with (like the "what?" earlier in the thread...I always fall for it and I always laugh at myself afterward). One of my best friends teases me all the time (she'll say in a loud old lady voice, "turn you're hearing aid on!"). What she doesn't do, though, is talk in soft tones to tease me in the way jack was describing. Jokes I can laugh along with. But that's just not nice because it plays on my frustration. Sort of like making faces at a blind person and laughing, and the blind person doesn't even know why you're laughing.

Jh1, Jack is just playing...give him a break.

PS - wow, this thread ended up being a lot longer than I expected.

You better let them remain "lost" and have the replacements done by the insurance company so if you do lose them in the future, you have back ups.

That's exactly what I plan on doing, while they still make them. So your advice still came in handy.

Screw you; I sent you prayers and a karma message - not even a thank you...

I could care less if you find them

well you know what goes first when you get old, memory or in your case it seems to be working the other way around...
