Well I have the same issue as Jake does in both ears. When I got back from Texas I checked into aids at the University of Northern Colorado audiology clinic. I went to s study there which I was given a gift card for and was told they would call me for aids. They never did. I then waited to long to go to Costco so I still have no aids. Costco now is a 3 month wait here to get in. Oh well.

Al, Medicare supplement paid 50% of mine. If that helps. Good luck.

Which supplement Jim and dont you need to go to there network clinic

It will probably still be a 3 month wait come spring so if you make your appt now you can have your answers come February. I know it is not a priority for you at this point, but if you can get a pair that work for you they aren't a pain to wear and being able to understand speech when you want is pleasurable. I hear so many things that I forgot make noise like birds, rain on the roof, crickets and tree frogs in the summer and what a noisy world we live in . I don't hardly notice wearing mine so I have to make a point of checking for them before getting in the shower and remembering to remove them at night. I am glad I got them and pleased the technology is so much improved from my first pair in the 80s. Those I hated.

Thanks Ernie for the info. Im headed to Texas a week from today until April 1st when I return. At some point I will give a call and make an appointment to get in. I may call here locally tomorrow and see what they might offer in the mean time. Ive had one hearing aid already for a few years but its now dead. I know my wife cant wait for me to get some because shes giving me that look alot.

Ok I've been procrastinating on this for almost a year. I said I was going at the beginning of 2021 and never did. Today my wife and I were shopping at Costco and I stopped at their audiology department. They were busy and a typical appointment was about a month out. The nice young lady informed me that if I could do a Sunday appointment, they have a spot open this coming Sunday at 2:30 pm. I'm on the books and I will report back when everything is complete.

If they determine that you need aids they will probably offer to program and let you try a pair in the store. I was amazed at what I was missing with the new technology.
Let us know how it turns out.

Thanks Ernie. I will report back after my trip there Sunday. I'm sure I need hearing aids. My hearing is most definitely sub standard.

Paul

I gave into the need this last summer. I have a set of Starkey aids. They have helped a lot. Normal hearing loss is greatly improved.

I have not noticed the Tinnitus being as bad.

My 37 cents worth. Medicare paid half the cost.
