So guess what happened this morning! I was getting ready to go to my meeting and I went to the bathroom to Q-tip my ears and clean my hearing aides up… and I dropped one. It fell into a lined wicker basket we have for magazines so I wasn’t too concerned. It’s fallen LOTS of times over the years. Well, I guess that one was the final straw because I picked it up in TWO PIECES. :-( I can still get it to work by taping it together… but it’s not gonna be much of a fix. This sucks. Now I have to get it fixed, at the very least, and possibly get a new hearing aide. Not what I wanted to add to the budget when saving for the house. And the thing about being HOH that sucks more than having a vision problem is that when I send my hearing aide in for repairs, I’m completely without it. I don’t have a backup plan like another pair of glasses or contacts or whatever, YK? I just have to be 65% deaf in one ear until the aide comes back.
That does suck!
Oh no, Amy!!! I’m sorry!
That really stinks, Amy! I hope it doesn’t bother you too much to be without it. And now I know how expensive hearing aids are from our recent discussion! Sucks!
Oh, that stinks, Amy! Isn’t there a place you can take it that can repair it, or does it have to be sent away? I hope it is an easy fix and you don’t have to get new ones!
Oh no, Amy! I saw all the hearing aides at Costco the other day and thought of you. Are they cheaper there?
doh! hope you’re able to get it fixed soon.
now that you mention it, i never really thought about the fact that i don’t have a backup plan for my vision. i usually have contacts, but i’ve been out for a while now. if i break my glasses, i’m screwed! i wouldn’t be able to drive, and i have no one around that could drive me… yikes. i really should make an eye doctor appointment.
