When the audiologist first tested my hearing this spring, she wasn’t sure a new hearing aid would help me enough. I fully qualify for another cochlear implant, but that’s a major decision. It involves surgery, and you never know how well it will work. It’s also an irreversible step.
So my audiologist, Ellen Lafargue at the Center for Hearing and Communication (CHC) in New York, suggested I at least try a new hearing aid. She fitted me with a powerful type known as an RIC (receiver in canal). A soft plastic mold fits snugly in your ear canal and is connected by a tube to a behind-the-ear component, which holds all the mechanics.
