Making it work for me

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?

  1. Yeah! I'm glad that the bluetooth is working out with your work phone. I forgot to ask you about it.

  2. That bluetooth feature sounds great. I'm glad you got it working.

    I'm sure the manufacturer doesn't want them back and neither does Listen Up (even though they are the ones who screwed up). Ask them to extend the trial period because of "issues" you've had or ask them to cancel the invoice and re-date it. Be creative. Quit wining. Do something.
