The Medically Needy plan with Medicaid works - in Florida anyway! Okay went to the Audiologist today and got tested. Although at one time my right ear tested badly (I posted the audiogram a few posts above) it must have been during a Meniere's episode as it's back to almost normal. My left...

Well, I am getting somewhere! I called my audiologist's office and they ran the number and they DO take it and it covers hearing aids. BUT...they have a waiting list. They are checking with their other office down the road - it's not that far for me to drive. They probably also have a...

Well, slightly O/T from my own question here.... I called a local eye doctor's office who is listed as taking Medicaid. They said they took Medically Needy. They ran my number and said I have full Medicaid this month, and it covers everything (for eye care). So there is hope for getting...

Thanks - I will try everything, I think it's time to get help. Here's my last audiogram:

Here's my last one.

Actually several I called said they accepted Medicaid for hearing aids, but NOT Medically Needy Medicaid. However I will keep pursuing. My ENT's office doesn't accept Medicaid for treatment, but their Audiology department does. They aren't sure about Medically Needy, but I'll find out...

Thanks! I'm going to be busy this week I think...

Oh thanks Baby Blue! Hopefully they take it. I'm glad someone has been able to use it - it gives me hope. I did do a lot of calling before and kept hearing "no". There may be one up in Ocala that takes it if mine doesn't. In my case, I had to meet my SOC FIRST. Since that's only likely...

I'll let you know. I was just curious if anyone on here had been successful in actually getting a HA with it. Guess I'll find out this week. I'd prefer my own ENT/Audio as I really like them. Now that I'm "in the system" they'll be able to run my number and find out if they take that type of...

It's part of Medicaid. I am on SSDI but since I make "too much money", I don't get full Medicaid. They call it Medically Needy Medicaid. It has what is known as a Share of Cost - which is usually just under what a person makes each month. The share of cost can range upwards to thousands of...

I have Medically Needy Medicaid in Florida. I finally hit a month where I've met my Share of Cost as I had to go to the hospital on the 1st of the month. *Supposedly* it will cover hearing aids. Of course one has to find a provider. My ENT/Audio office is not sure if they do or not. They...

Ah, an "L" glass lens. I covet those types of lenses!

I really liked the first couple of ones, but she got way too repetitive in the last ones. Still I've read them all. As far as anyone being offended by the cavemen signing - I think I'd be more offended that Ayla and Jondular seemed to have invented just about everything important.... Actually...

I'm going to a Silent Weekend next month, hopefully that will help. I've started classes three times, but health issues got in the way. Meniere's will do that to one... I have some books, DVD's, and go to most of the online sites. I know a fair amount of vocabulary - it's using it...

Marlee Matlin will be in it - or at least one episode.

Just got one today! I like that I can eventually go to the data-only plan if my hearing continues to decrease. A bit of a learning curve for me - as I had a Blackberry - but I think I'm going to like it. I managed to get one of the white/magenta ones. I love purple - and the magenta is...

Wow, maybe I can move on up from getting hit on by all those deaf guys that message me on Facebook who just happened to be amazed by my profile - to getting hit on by a spambot! Oh wait...it's the deaf guys that are hit on here...:giggle:

Is anyone on here going to the 32 Silent Weekend in Orlando? It's June 23-26 at the Florida Mall. http://www.drsign.com/31weekend.html I had planned on going but surgery and stuff got in my way so ditched my initial plan. But now, I think I could make it - albeit I'd have to go as a...

I'm still struggling to learn sign. Got sidetracked dealing with Meniere's and surgery.

Wow! Congratulations - they all look fantastic. Handsome and beautiful! Prepare for no sleep for awhile - LOL! But enjoy every minute - they grow so fast...
