ranting

I haven't been on alot due to alot of stuff that has been going on since tuesday. The doctor said that I do have tinnitus and that well my hearing is bad I can't get implants due to my hearing is to good. What irritates me more then anything else right now is that they said oh yeah insurance will cover that but not hearing aids. Ok both help you hear and one is probably less expensive then the other. WHAT THE HELL? And now the ent I saw said I need new hearing aids after three years. So let me get this straight they are willing to pay for a surgery that helps you hear but not for something that doesn not involve an expensive surger?And these are the same jack0000s that say you don't need to hear?Makes me want to move sometimes.

Hi just reading some of your post and wanted to let you know your not alone. Do you know about HLAA? I think they are .org. It is a great place for hearing impaired people and help. They may even have a local chapter. Take care-Susan cochlear implant recipient - I have a blog that tell some of my story if you are interested - I have been in your same place.
