Re: BAHA Intenseo Headband for sale anybody???

[Guest guest]

Tim,

Talk to his therapists (does he have a speech or hearing therapist?)

Ours helped us get a loaner from SEADOL so I am sure there is

something like that near you that you can use. Sorry I forgot her

name but the woman from Philip Rock who came out and gave you the

senory box she might have some answers also.

Good luck and I am glad things are going well.

We had a BAHA softband on load from Entific Canada for a long time before

Kennedy got the Divino implant. I don't think it was called an Intenseo, I

haven't really heard of those before (Kennedy's look like this:

http://www.chargesyndrome.info/baha.html the picture with the red band on).

It might be worth a call to the company to see if they have any loaners (or

get your audiologist to call them) - they were great with us up here in

Canada, don't know what they're like in the US.

Good luck!

BAHA loaners are far a few between. I have trouble getting loaners when

's is broken. I think it is because it is now under Coclear sp? And

they are just awful. I know, why don't they rent them or sell used ones. I

am always on the hunt for used ones myself. We have 2 and I am considering

buying another Divino but they are 4,000. I'll ask around my son's school

for you to see if anyone has one to give up. It's a slim but possible

chance.

BAHA Intenseo Headband for sale anybody???

Well our son is doing well. We just had his cleft lip repaired, ABR

test, CT scan. His results are moderate to extreme hearing loss,

Cochlea issues with testing every 6 months to watch and see.

In the meantime we are to try a BAHA Intenseo hearing aid. Of course

our Health Insurance (which I won't complain has been great to date)

won't pay.

I find it strange that we buy new BAHA, when this is only a temporary

solution. Why are they not rented? What happens to the used ones? We

are exploring various options for help with the cost but I wanted to

see if anyone in the group had one they wanted to sell.

Also does anybody have an idea how much they cost. In Christian's case

it may not be strong enough and we would have to upgrade to the belt

clip version and I'm sure he won't like that now that he has finally

mastered rolling over and around. Still can't hold his head up for any

extended time or crawl, but we are working on it.

We've had a loaner for nearly a year from our audiologist. I just shipped

it back today. Aubrie is using her BTE aids while we wait for her BAHA site

to heal enough to use. We used the loaner all through the decision-making

process, while waiting for surgery, and could have kept it until fully

healed if we didn't have the BTE option.
