Re: This was posted on another group I am in

Hey All!
 
Tina,
I have had two colleagues get new hearing aids through Vocational Rehabilitation.  Is that possible in your state?  They had to re-open their cases and meet with a VR counselor, who wrote up that they needed new hearing aids in order to maintain employment.  I don't know how VR works in your state, but I thought I would give you that bit of information.
 
Have joy!
 
Dawn

Tina, Sorry to hear about the changes in your hearing. I got my aids through Voc Rehab. They cost $3200 (about 4 years ago). I have a severe-moderate loss...

That's exactly where my hearing was three years ago. It's gone down a lot since then, and will continue to deteriorate, since Meniere's is a progressive...

Maybe. I will try. Kansas provided me with an amplified phone, though I was told that it could not be for work, but for life purposes. I don't know if they...

Yeah, understand that. Otosclerosis is progressive too, especially since my surgeries on my right ear didn't last and I am no longer considered a candidate...

Tina, I already had aids (they were about 4 years old) when Voc Rehab bought these last ones for me. I just had the audiologist send a copy of their report...

Tina, My experience as far as getting hearing aids through Vocational Rehab was much like Dodie's.  I already had aids that were not working well for me, and...

My aids are actually 13 yars old, so maybe I can get them to help me buy new ones after all! Alea, thanks for the input. I will call them about aids on Monday...
