Abali1: Thanks very much bro. I learnt Amazon doesn't work in Nigeria. Moreso, I had contacted starkey company in the US with my medical report, they said don't sell aids to patients. Also, if I had the opportunity to get it from foreign dealer, it must first be programmed for my ear since it is digital based on my medical report. Unfortunately, western countries don't believe in our medical report unless they did their own test. Smh 3 Likes |

IdisuleOurOwn: It was a bit difficult to get use to because I thought I could immediately start understanding people or t.v. But with time I learnt the limitations of aids and how to use it best. The key is knowing that its a tool to help you hear better but for effective communicating with people required lot of patience from friends and family 2 Likes |

I am a sufferer of tinnitus too for over 6 yrs now, though I have been managing to ignore those crazy noise as my doctor adviced and my hearing is perfect. my fear is I don't want it to get to a stage I will require a hearing aid.. God is our strength 1 Like |

Ademoore07: Western people believe in our medical report,depending on were you did it. A company like starkey will believe your complete audio analysis test if you bring it from places like BSA hearing or Phonics hearing,because they are starkey patners here in Lagos,Nigeria. Secondly,its thge result from your hearing loss,that will tell how the audiologist will program the hearing aid for you,so if youn have a profound hearing loss,its not advisable to just buy from anywere. 3 Likes |

munas: Jesus Christ? 820k? I guess that is meant for 2 ears. I only requested for 1, eventhough both ears were affected. I was later advised to gather atleast 370k at BSA hearing and speech centre in lagos. May God help us |

munas: I had just received a message now from Siemen (signia hearing, US). I was told to visit any of their 2 branches in Nigeria. International hearing centre in lagos and enugu for test and purchase. Signia seems to be technologically advance and cheaper than starkey. I hope to contact them at their lagos branch in few weeks time. Thanks for your time 1 Like |

Ademoore07: Thats not the best thing to do. Its expensive we know... But its good to do the right thing so as to get the right results. There are different types of hearing aids viz 1.Reciver in canal 2.completely in canal 3.Behind the ear 4.In the ear 5.Tinutus 6.single sided hearing and lots more. From your story, you said you are having noise in the ear(Tinutus). Its only an audiologist/ENT that will know the particular aid that you will need,and they are the only ones to program it for you. What about servicing the aids? What about remoulding in case its broken? I advice you source for the money and get it from the right place and or also apply to NGO 1 Like |

blackjack21: Thanks for your advise. Cochlear implant is meant for totally deaf patient. That wasn't my issue. I can hear only to a certain decibel fluctuated by tinnitus. Although, I had met people with positive result while using those aids. I guess u purchase yours when technology was not advance |
