Most of you do not know this but I am hearing impaired. One ear has been basically dead for 50 years. I wear a hearing aid in the right ear, which is not doing that well either. While I was at the ISS show this week I was faced with a hearing aid that was not doing its job. I thought maybe my head was clogged due to cold. Yesterday I visited my ear doctor and he checked me out and found no change since my last visit 5 years ago. So I boiled it down to the aid. I joking said to my doc. Why isn't there a aid that would fit in one ear and transmit sound to the aid in the other ear. He laughed and said there is. ... Pause.... I thought I was going to have to invent such a device. LOL. Well today I was fitted for a Bi CROS aid. Very soon... I will be able to hear people on my deaf side. It has been 50 years since an operation removed my ear drum. And made me totally deaf on the left side. Guys I know this might mean anything to you but I am excited by this also my insurance covers it. I just wanted to share this with all of you. This has been one of the beat weeks of my life.

I had a terrible time at the ISS show trying to talk and hear what people were saying to me. I was very frustrated and the result was I did not spend a lot of time on the floor. Stopped by your booth by the way and left info.

Oh yeah. Guess what Charles. I did see you. I was videoing a panoramic shot of the floor. I did not look at the video till I got back to room. Then I spotted you only a few feet away. Had I headed down that aisle I would have met up with you. Hope you are feeling better. Think I will post that and we will play where is Charlie.

Lou, your news about the new hearing aide is great, and the fact that insurance will pick up the tab is FANTASTIC. 

Did I miss an announcement post?  Something new and/or improved you were working on?

That is great news, Lou. My mother wears hearing aids and she gets so frustrated with them as she can't hear properly. I'd be interested in getting more information on this new type.

Bi CROS do a google search. It Sind a wi fi signal from the aid in the bad ear to a receiver in the better ear aid. It will take me about 3 weeks to get because we are waiting for insurance to ok.

I was told you had stopped by the booth.  I haven't received any info from our sales guy who was manning the booth, yet.  I'll have to check with him about that.

Great news, Lou!

I too am hearing impaired and having this disability really impacts me business-wise. I see how frustrated people get when talking to me. I've had 4 surgeries and only one worked. As a result, I have severe tinnitus, ugh.

I had no idea there was such a device either.

I am so very happy for you!  (after my surgery I was oh so cranky..didn't realize just how noisy this world is..and couldn't get any good sleep for weeks)

Please let us know how it goes for you after receiving the aids.
