I have managed to hook up my bluetooth hearing aid feature to my work cell phone. This has already helped dramatically when using the phone at work because I can call forward my office line to my cell phone. Previously, I was losing conversation as my phone feature cut in and out while someone was talking to me. Now, I can feed it right into my ears; so far it has worked out great.
I am also slowly preparing myself to return my hearing aids until July when I repurchase them so I can get the government grant. I really need to stop putting off the appointment with Listen Up Canada and get in there and sort out everything. I still really believe they can do more for me than they have but unless I push them to do more why would they? I think it's sad for a company like that to not try to go the extra step for their clients. I really feel that there is a true disconnect between the people who work as audiologist and the people who need their services. However, how can I expect them to relate if they are not hard of hearing as well ... can't they atleast be empathetic?

Between A Rock and a Hard Place
It looks like I'm going to have to return my hearing aids. Talk about 1 step forward and two steps back. In order for me to be eligable for my government grant the hearing aids have to be purchased in July of this year ... arrrgg!
Everyone is telling me I need to kick up more of a fuss with the Audiologist office. Yes, they are probably right but besides giving me a loner hearing aid to pass the time between May and June I don't really know what they would be able to do for me. Regardless, I should really push them more on the situation because it is because of their oversight that I am in this situation in the first place. I provided them with all of the information that I had about my current pair at the time and they should be familiar with the government grant process.
