Read all about ClearVoice here.
But first, a double whammy. My implant sounds like a garbled motorcycle which means I needed re-programming. I googled and found out ClearVoice was now out! My audie was giddy when she told me it was available now. I cannot wait! Read the description to find out why. I hate background noise. I don't want to hear it. Now I won't!
I have two ears though.
My other ear uses a hearing aid. And old one too. And it is failing...
I cannot afford to buy one right now. They're around $2400 or so because I'm really deaf. None of those tiny invisible "hide in the ear" thingies will do! I think I bought mine in 2000. I am hoping I can get it reconditioned hahaha. HAHA. Ha.
The funny thing about Medicare/Medicaid is they will pay for a cochlear implant $75K (or more?) but they won't buy you a hearing aid.

Clear Voice sounds perfect! I wish you success with it! I didn't know that medicare wouldn't cover hearing aids. It doesn't make sense. Hope things work out for you.
Peace,

Good news about clear voice and bad about medicare not covering assistive tech equally. Call congress but they are broke :(
ClearVoice sounds like a great advance - good that you will be getting it. I didn't know about the hearing aids not being covered but cochlear implants are. Strange and bizarre.
Clear Voice sounds amazing. So happy for you.
I have two ears though.
Hahahaha. Good that is "normal" for you 'o.~Mary
haha Mary....my "two ears" each use vastly technologies so each ear hears very differently from each other.
I'm anxious to see how ClearVoice works - if it's better than my hearing aid then screw Medicaid, I'll stick them with a huge bill and get another implant since they won't buy me a cheap hearing aid. HA!
