Good luck, most of the time getting the initial appointment is the main thing, if you meet the criteria you meet the criteria. You should have a positive reply soon!
Personally my first order was 40g as I explained I can consume over 2g a day, but financially I can’t really afford 60g a month from Mamedica®. You just need to be honest about what you consume and what you need. As for the hard of hearing bit, you can ask to email for stuff like specific medications for your repeats etc, especially in your situation, and sort your meds via email.
I feel for you as I'm more deaf on one side and suffer with Chronic Tinnitus that never goes away, its soul destroying at times and the hearing bit i tend to do the same at times and agree with whats being said when i haven't heard someone properly, I'm learning now to explain my situation regarding my lack of hearing properly and its making life much easier all round, i too use to embarrassed asking people to repeat themselves all the time and give up. Welcome to your/our Community.
Sorry for the late reply mate, we're very much in the same boat, it's complex but I can't wear the hearing aids because of sound in the inner ear leaks through a 3rd window (I have holes in my skull, in the vertical inner ear canal both ears, bilateral) I have quite a rare and interesting condition, superior canal dehisense syndrome or SCDS for short, he hear our eyes move and every internal body noise.
@Dooby Doo Im a long term tinnitus sufferer too, it’s horrendous innit? I hope you’re well today.
Bloody horrible disease Jaz330, I've had it full on for 18yrs now and it never goes away, it did come and go for some yrs.
