Katherine asked:


I forgot to ask my doctor that.
I had an ear infection last week on friday, but my ear still hurts.
I didn’t wear my hearing aid to school on friday, mon. and today which caused me to have a hard time hearing.

Hearing Aid?

January 26th, 2012
SCH asked:


I have moderate hearing loss in the speach range (I don’t remember the db loss the doctor said because I didn’t realize that was an important thing to know). My doctor wants me to choose between a in the canal hearing aid (Destiny or Oticon Syncro) or a behind the ear (Oticon Delta). They are all about the same price for a pair…so what I am wondering is if anyone has hearing aid experiance and which they prefer (in the canal or behind the ear).

Will using a hearing aid make you go deaf after you take it out for a while?

January 21st, 2012
asked:


My grandfather has a hearing problem and the reason he doesn’t want to get a hearing aid is because a doctor told him that once he starts using the hearing aid, he’ll be deaf without it.

Is this true?

What is the best way to get a used hearing aid?

January 13th, 2012
asked:


I am 64 and have my Social Security Disability as income only and no assets to speak of. Even with my Medicare Advantage paying $500 per hearing aid I am discovering even the lowest end hearing aid costs close to $1000. No way can I afford a copay approaching $1000 (since I need two). I am not fussy, a used one is fine. Would a donated hearing be available somehow? Thanks,
