Yesterday I headed over to the VA to pick up my new ears. This is my first set of new hearing aids in about seven years.
I'm totally blown away with the sound quality of these things! They don't sound like hearing aids. I've been wearing hearing aids for about 20 years now and the technology is amazing.
Just as your cell phone is now a pocket computer that makes phone calls my new hearing aids are computers that help me hear.
I looked up the price of these little suckers and I'm damn glad I've got the VA.
So, anyway, if you're a Veteran with hearing problems and have been putting off getting hearing aids I strongly urge you to head in and get some. You don't have to have a service connected hearing problem to receive them either. The VA has acknowledged that the rate of hearing loss among Veterans is much higher than among the general population.
Also, if you're a Veteran with tinnitus and you haven't filed a claim you really should. If you had a MOS where you were exposed to noise it's pretty much a gimme. It's $140.05 a month of free money.
