Just... Popping... I don't know..

Didn't you ask the audiologist ?

You should have received this information while you were there purchasing and picking up hearing aids.

Unless you bought them on ebay or something similar.

Wow, this is terrible if you've been treated this way. Are you in a small town, are you able to to get to a bigger city with an audiologist?

Failing that, I think you need to go back to the office you got the hearing aids and have them take a look at them and to sort your problems out.

Bottesini, you are in the same city as me. Have you ever been to an audiologist called Tysklind? He was with Lutheran, but now moved to the new clinic at Methodist where they are setting up shop and going big.

No sorry I haven't, reading what you have written, I guess he would be a good one to avoid?
Edited to add, will your insurance not cover you at Mercy?

I call him Institutionalized. He seemed to have alot of medicaid patients there too. However, I can't avoid him because my insurance is now covering aids and they are the only audiologists they have in network! I have been going to Mercy before this, but I can't turn down deal as the insurance will pay 80% after a $4000 deductible and right now, we have about that sitting in our acct as my husband's employer has gifted it to us as well as $1200 was brought across from last year, so basically they will be almost free for me.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm paying and I have Phonak for 9 years and they have been wonderful for me.

Well I don't have any choice from this audiologist as he said Oticon or give me a good argument so I did try on the Phonak Audeo Q mini RIC (and I only just learnt what that is) and I loved the open feel of them, and they were so tiny I am worried it would get lost and I wouldn't know it.

Just have to see the Audi to see if he will agree to this model as it was the private audiologist with Hearing Planet that recommended it as she said you can add pieces if your hearing gets worse.

if you want to go nuts for Oticon, go 4 it. anyone can have good preferences :)
