Hearing Aids

[over9five]

Our insurance plan only pays for one set of hearing aids. How long do they last?

Good question.
I got them maybe 6 months ago. Here, we can get them every 5 years.

I would not consider the PCs we have now to be loud.

It’s not necessarily the package car but the noise around you. In the summer heat you’ve got to keep both doors open to survive. Sustained exposure to traffic ambience on an interstate will definitely cause hearing loss. Bro dozers with loud exhaust, motorcycles, Jake Brakes, etc. If I can’t shut the cab doors then I wear ear plugs when I get on the freeway.

Bulk head door slamming is way too loud.

Any of you fellas wear hearing aids or know a driver that does? I’m just curious how it works out with your DOT. My hearing is shot from playing drums growing up and gets worse working out of these loud trucks. I’m going to see an audiologist next week to see what I need.

I know one guy at my building that has hearing aids. He told me his hearing is so bad he had to get a federal exemption or something? I don’t know what he was talking about.

Any information would be appreciated, thanks!

I know of a feeder driver in an adjacent group that wears them in New England. I don’t see him on a regular basis anymore. Perhaps someone can get some additional info for you or put him in touch with you.

Yeah this too. Right behind your head, 200 times a day. BANG!!

On opening or closing? Open stops get bashed away very quickly if there is only (stock) one. I would install 3 on mine with the advent of keyless. Drivers tying down the pull catch made it even worse.

Opening seems louder.

Lol, big brother is watching. My phone now has hearing aid ads!

Don't know how good those units you can buy online are but they are expensive. Don't know if they are better than the doctor office one's are. Seem to be around $1750.
