I have been waiting to get new hearing aids for a few years now. My last set was lost. I thought you had to wait to get new hearing aids (Medicaid rules say that you can only get new aids every five years) I finally decided to make sure that I couldn't get them sooner. Turned out I could! YEAH! I got tested back in December, and am going to FINALLY get them on Friday!!! I can't wait to hear again!
