kramer asked:


Im in my 30’s with a childhood history of chronic ear infections (the docs say I have alot of scar tissue) , tubes in my ears 4 times, my early years of school were spent in speech therapy, in my 20’s I had a head injury which only made my hearing worse I feel my hearing has gotten worse over the years Any advice from someone who has a hearing aid would be greatly appreciated

I wear a hearing aid and the new phone by GE makes a feed back noise or makes my hearing aid squeal. The last phone I bought had this compatibility and was so easy to use. It is not working any more and so here I am looking

Am hard of hearing. I have a hearing aid but i dont like to use it most of the time coz after using it i feel?

April 2nd, 2009
Zak asked:


like the hearing loss is magnified. By using the hearing aid, can it make me totally deaf? Why is it that when i use it for 15min, after i pull it out i am more hard of hearing than in the first place? But after some min i hear normally [tho still hard]. Is it ok to use the in-the-ear hearing aid full time? likei use my spectacles?

Do you know someone that adamantly refuses to wear their hearing aid?

March 28th, 2009
Jackie Blue asked:


My ex-father in law never wanted to wear his, so anytime we all went out to eat anywhere, he always looked to his wife to repeat everthing the waitress said. He spent several hundred dollars on the one he had. Is it true that if there is a lot of background noise, they do not work? What makes a hearing aid make a high pitch sound?

What is the best hearing aid for my 90 year old friend?

March 24th, 2009
Lakely asked:


I have a friend who is complaining that her hearing aid is not working well. She can a afford to buy a good hearing aid and that is what I suggested… but I want to ask…

What is the best way to go about buying the best hearing aid for her… Should I do it locally, so she can try them out… or should I look online… what are we looking for??? A certain brand or type or what is best?

It should work good for her when she uses the telephone, since she is living alone.
