Bosco-d-gama Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Spoke with both the audiologist and the distributor. Now the story goes that they removed a membrane over the amps that was placed to aid in waterproofing the device. Per the distributor the membrane was after market, and add-on for active folks. 1st I never asked for any such add-on nor was I advised that it was there. 2ndly the silly thing should’ve operated correctly with or w/o said membrane. Lastly no appliance should get to the end user compromised in its primary function. Basically everyone is pointing fingers at others. BTW I need to correctly identify the hearing aid as being manufactured by Starkey. I have yet to converse with Starkey about the issue.  I’m excited about the new Eustachian tube treatment as well. The manufacturer shows an initial success rate of 99+ percent. How long the treatment works remains unanswered because it is too recent. Seems like I recall values of better than 80% at 12 months. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was bad enough to make me 4f for the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1290 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 ^^^^^^ what he said! I hope everything works out for you if you have the procedure done. I was just awestruck sitting there in a big waiting room and seeing this guy sitting over there reading w/this big lump on his head and a device in the same ear. I'll see my blaster in Nov and ask what it was. THEN I'll have the answer finally. Been wondering for months what it was mainly cause I've never seen anything like it. Modern tecchnology huh? Guess I'd be down for it if it worked. Prolly get a new nickname. Lumpy???  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
