Re: Hearing Dissability- any advie-comment

What brand aids are they?<br /><br />I ask because I used to make hearing-aids, at Crystalaid in Brisbane. We still do the hearing processor and accesories for Cochlear implants, but have handed all our hearing-aid production over to Bernafon.

Oticon is the brand.<br />I had a voucher from Veterans Affairs, and that covered both of them, so they are not expensive ones.<br />They work well, in fact probably too well. Have to turn them off when the road sweeper came thru the other day.<br />Went thru Hearing Aid Specialists in Brisbane. They run a visit out at Burpengary.<br />Cheers<br />Phillip

Oticon are part of the Bernafon company.<br />I did some proto-typing for Oticon a few years ago, when Crystalaid used to make the Hybrid pcb's that are inside the hearing-aids for Bernafon.

Oticon is the brand I have and they cost me $2500.00 each back in 1997. My are the digifocus. Digital programable, turn them on and off is all you can do. Set the levels by computer at dr. office. I need new ones really bad but can't afford them, insurance don't cover them. One of mine went bad so I bought one of them $20.00 game ear from a magazine. Works but not what I need.
