Hello everyone! My name is Melissa and I am a grad student going into Speech Pathology and Deaf Education. I absolutely love the field and hope to work in the pediatric level someday. One of my assignments for an Audiology course is to interview 3 people who wear hearing aids regarding their satisfaction. Can I get a few people to answer the following questions as soon as possible? You can just reply to this thread. Thank you SO much for your help! :P

Interview Questions:

1. How long have you worn your hearing aids?

2. For how long before you got your hearing aids did you suspect you had a hearing loss?

3. How long do you wear your hearing aids each day?

4. Do you feel like you get benefit from your hearing aids?

5. What complaints do you have about your hearing aids?

6. Do you feel like your hearing aids have lived up to what your audiologist or hearing aid dealer told you they would do?

7. Did you get your hearing aids from an audiologist or a hearing aid dealer?

Thanks so much!

Interview Questions:

1. How long have you worn your hearing aids?
I've been wearing hearing aids for 4 years and the ones I currently have I've been wearing for a few months

2. For how long before you got your hearing aids did you suspect you had a hearing loss?
2 years it took for an audi to say you should have hearing aids

3. How long do you wear your hearing aids each day?
usually put them on when I leave the house and and take them out sometimes during the day so anywhere from 2-10 hrs a day..depends where I am and the day etc:)

4. Do you feel like you get benefit from your hearing aids?
yes and no

5. What complaints do you have about your hearing aids?
They pick up too much noise

6. Do you feel like your hearing aids have lived up to what your audiologist or hearing aid dealer told you they would do?
For the most part with some lil minor issues here and there but overrall they are better than my previous hearing aids

7. Did you get your hearing aids from an audiologist or a hearing aid dealer?
I got mine from an audiologist :)
 
1. How long have you worn your hearing aids?
About 23 years

2. For how long before you got your hearing aids did you suspect you had a hearing loss?
I think it was before I entered preschool. I remember wearing them and bodyworn FM in preschool.
3. How long do you wear your hearing aids each day?
Morning until night.

4. Do you feel like you get benefit from your hearing aids? It help me access to spoken language and environmental sounds. (and musics... because without it, I would be wearing a headphone and blast the volume all the way up and can hear it that way)

5. What complaints do you have about your hearing aids?
Wish they were waterproof <---- hint to all hearing aids engineers who might be reading this: I personally think FM or Bluetooth would help with waterproof because It will signals instead of using the microphone on the earpiece. But you'll have to keep the microphone outside of the pool though.

Feedbacks and background noise... BUT I want that background noise for music (no background filter for the music)

6. Do you feel like your hearing aids have lived up to what your audiologist or hearing aid dealer told you they would do?
digital, no... but it was new to the market at the time. Analog, yes.

7. Did you get your hearing aids from an audiologist or a hearing aid dealer?
Audiologist

Thanks so much!
 
Just in Case:

1. How long have you worn your hearing aids?

Nearly 2 years

2. For how long before you got your hearing aids did you suspect you had a hearing loss?

Mine was pretty sudden with other symptoms, my hearing loss wasn't huge at first, so it was only a few weeks. Although other people noticed over a couple of years that I had higher volume of things and I talked a bit louder.

3. How long do you wear your hearing aids each day?

Mostly all day, sometimes not at all. Depends on who is around.

4. Do you feel like you get benefit from your hearing aids?

Absolutely

5. What complaints do you have about your hearing aids?

Just that they make my ears itch, sweaty and more wax but aside from that nothing.

6. Do you feel like your hearing aids have lived up to what your audiologist or hearing aid dealer told you they would do?

Yes.

7. Did you get your hearing aids from an audiologist or a hearing aid dealer?

Audiologist
