King Boo Re: Deaf Metal

King Boo-

Was it you who suggested Deaf Metal?

If so, many thanks. I ordered my mom (not a PWD) a pair of simple CZ studs after she lost one of her hearing aids and she's really happy with them. I was quite impressed with the quality and the shipping time was phenomenal- under 48 hours.

    Hey harshedbuzz-

    Yep, it was me!  Glad it helps.  What a cool product invention.  Way better than those Huggie Aids with the plastic and tubing , at least in some situations.

    And they saved one last evening. Mom and I were downtown after a doctor appointment, and she ripped off her mask and nearly lost her hearing aid in the street.

    Wow, I am glad it worked!

    If her hearing aids are under the manufacturer warranty still, major manufacturers will usually provide a one time only loss replacement, FYI (there will be a deductible and service fee to pay to the provider).

    Hope you will never need to use it!

    That's our Ms. Boo . . . she brings so much to us in various ways. I did not know that Deaf Metal even existed, so now I know and am able to tell others about it. Thank you for that.

    You really make a difference, Boo.  Your helpful advice re different caregiving problem issues of concern based on reality and common sense as well as so much helpful information re hearing issues due to your highly educated professional experience has been invaluable.

    Thank you for all you do, so many benefit.

    J.

    Aw, Jo C.  Thank you.  I feel a big warm cyber hug.

    I think of you often, especially when I 'stop by' the discussion boards.

    How your support saved me and my decision making at some crisis ridden hours.
