As frustrating as it must have been for you, it's really nice to be able to learn from others' experiences rather than having to go through it yourself. I love what you said about sticking with a good audiologist when you find one. Constantly switching doctors is always a pain. My mom recently went in to get fitted for hearing aids. Hopefully she has a better experience! <a href="http://www.torontohearingservices.com/en/hearing_aids.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.torontohearingservices.com/en/hearing_aids.html</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707618440674731406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199689129452310161.post-18225705913022626242015-04-09T03:32:15.324-04:002015-04-09T03:32:15.324-04:00Thanks for sharing your experience and tips regard...Thanks for sharing your experience and tips regarding hearing aid desperation.

Normally I believe a repair that has been done comes with a warranty of some sort. small warranty, but better then nothing.

I'm glad they returned to you safely though the mail. Tcoils are a definite thing to ask about these days. Have you heard of "Let's Loop Seattle"? Seattle is one of the most accessible cities in the US on all counts for all disabilities. We've considered retiring there just for that reason. I totally agree, hearing and sight needs are not "cosmetic" or luxury..they are needs, and should be covered. Thank you for your kind, generous heart, Wendy.
