[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3608934, member: 5412"] If you do research, you can ask for any model aids you want. I asked for and got Starkly Halos. Tons of features. One of the neatest is the ability to translate 17 languages using an app. When I speak in English, the translation appears on the phone for them to read. When they speak it translates their language to English and sends the words via Bluetooth to the hearing aids for audio as well as visual. I have an ear canal that is smaller on one side. The inserts we’re giving me headaches because they were so tight. You can order your own inserts in different sizes and batteries by calling 303-273-6200. After getting your information, they will know what aids you have and what size batteries from your records. You can also order wax protectors and cleaning kit replacements. Once you get set up with a human, the automated system works great the next time batteries/supplies are needed. New thing I got at the VA a month ago was a drying kit. When removing them at night, remove the batteries and put them on top of a foam pad in this plastic bottle. The desiccant will dry out any moisture overnight. When it turns pink by saturation, pop it into the microwave and reuse it. Moisture getting in the aids can cause issues. [/QUOTE]
