Patient 1
MY HEARING CAPABILITY HAD BEEN IMPAIRED FOR SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE THIS YEAR. THE AUDIOLOGIST SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULD HAVE A HEARING AID IN 2016. BUT I WAS RELUCTANT TO HAVE ONE. THIS YEAR MY AUDIOLOGIST SUGGESTED AGAIN. SO I DECIDED TO HAVE ONE TO SEE IF THE HEARING AID REALLY COULD HELP ME. I BOUGHT FOR MY BOTH EARS, ONE PAIR OF HEARING AIDS WITH THE BRAND NAME (B)(6), WHICH COST ME MORE THAN (B)(6). I USED IT FOR ABOUT ONE MONTH AND FOUND THE DEVICE AMPLIFIED BOTH NOISE AND HUMAN CONVERSATION. IT DOES NOT HELP ME. TOTALLY UNEXPECTED TO ME, AFTER I REMOVED THE HEARING AIDS I FOUND MY HEARING ABILITY HAD BEEN SERIOUSLY DETERIORATED. BEFORE I BOUGHT THE HEARING AIDS, I COULD MAKE CONVERSATION WITH MY WIFE IF SHE SPOKE A LITTLE LOUDER AND I ALSO COULD HEAR WHAT I PLAYED ON MY PIANO AS A PIECE OF MUSIC. NOW I COULD NOT TALK TO MY WIFE AS BEFORE; SHE MUST SPEAK VERY LOUDLY. ALSO I COULD NO LONGER HEAR THE MUSIC WHEN I PLAY MY PIANO. I COULD NO LONGER HEAR MUSIC BUT SOME SEPARATE SOUNDS WITH DIFFERENT PITCHES. I AM REPORTING WHAT I EXPERIENCED IS INTENDED ONLY TO WARN HEARING IMPAIRED PERSONS THAT HEARING AIDS MIGHT NOT BE A GOOD SOLUTION AND IT MIGHT CAUSE ONE'S HEARING CAPABILITY DETERIORATED EVEN WITH A MOST EXPENSIVE HEARING AID.
