Posting private information on a public forum, you opened the door. Moderate loss isn't going to destroy your life while waiting a year for hearing aids. When I was little, I needed two for my moderate to severe loss which was bilateral. My parents could only afford one, and believe it or not, I survived a year before the state finally pitched in and paid for the second. There's a number of people on this and the hearing aid forum that would give anything just to have moderate loss. If you're determined to destroy your hearing because you're having a hissy fit, you need psychologist more than the audi. Honestly, I don't know why crazy people seek out this forum to have public melt downs....
