Guest guest Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thanks! That's very good advice, and next time I'll take it. It's just in this case, my parents are the ones I have to pay off. There's no way I coulda afforded this on my own. = M-F. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathy Howe >M-F, >Does your insurance cover Durable Medical Goods/Equipment?

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 But are you still on your parent's insurance? It probably isn't too late to submit it if they want, and then you won't owe them hardly anything. I think my insurance paid 80% of it. It might be worth asking them if they have DME coverage--most do. Hope it helps.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Those interested can check on the websites in the links section, I believe....the info should be there. If not, please feel free to contact me directly..... Dr. J PS I like the idea of a bit of defensive noise making yourself in that situation with hubby......when he goes mmmm, you go MMMMM too and mean it! Smile and be nice about it, don't get your claws out if you can help it and if that does not work, just let him know, affectionately, that that mmm is too much!

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Maybe we've been through this before, but are your parents making you pay rent?! Jeepers! Cut somebody a break, will ya? Re: Re: New trigger Noise generators are EXPENSIVE. I'll have my half of the bill paid off in two years, partly because I can't pay more than fifty bucks a month along with rent and car insurance.= M-F.----- Original Message ----- From: "" <logotiqueyahoo (DOT) com>> PS What ear devices that Marsha prescribes?

Not really ! I noticed that he " mmmm " s more for KFC takeout than he does my cooking ! Seriously. And since he doesn't realize he's doing it, I can tell how much he really likes something. He does " mmmm " for my cooking too though, just not quite as much. That's where I got the idea for making barely edible food ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if this is pink, white or other (noise). http://www.tinnitus-audiology.com/softsound.html I've read a few posts on this site where people purchased some from other audiologists. I think some types don't have volume control (mine do). Hers are $2400. I know it's a lot and some people can't do it. Funny how the people in England get theirs for free since American medical care is the best in the world ! However, I asked, and they can be repaired for a long time, you can insure them ... so you can plan on using them for a long time. I really like them. I usually only wear them at dinner, but when we visited my mom for a week I wore them all day some days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
