1974 to 1981- Oticon brand..model unknown, it was working for a longest time until it broke down except the t-coil. No wonder it was still working while yakkin' on the phone.
1981 to 1984-Starkey methink. It broke down immediately. Lousy t-coil..argh!
1984 to 1986-Didn't have hearing aid for 2 years..just b/c my mother freaked out and thought the SSA will cut off the benefits if she ever attempt to apply on my application for "California Children Service." :roll: I don't know who told her that. She didn't realize that it's a free service that will help hearing-impaired children of low-income families.
1986 to 1989-Unitron..two hearing aids.
1989 to 1991-Widex brand...someone stole my hearing aid..It's the bestest one I had. It concentrated on the voices of someone and block the background noises..once a person stopped yakking, the background proceeded. I miss that one.
1991 to 1994 ITE hearing aid...I can't recall the brand and model. Because it's still around in my apartment. ARGH! Accidentally got into the shower with it and it went "bllllaaah...."
1994-1997-Bosch brand..never like it.
1997 to 2004-Oticon brand..but still lousy type... the one I had in 1974 was the best one I ever have but was doing okay for many years.
2004-present Phonak: Super-Front model which I still hate it. Too much background noises. I'm considering of gettin' digital hearing aids but don't know when.
