Hmmmmmmm at the quoted prices though.
@op, I use a digital hearing aid and infect have been using one since 2008. It is indeed helpful for me (we all differ). But check that quoted price again. Better still order from amazon or if you have someone outside, say UK, ask the person to buy for you and then pay him.
Because of exchange rate, you need to make a budget of 100k or above. but definitely not what is quoted for you.

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

You suffer from profound hearing loss? How effective is the aid?

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

That C.I is too expensive but reliable and trusted.

I made an inquiry at Ife Teaching Hospital and was told the locally one is 2.5 million.

Thats even cheap.

LASUTH does C.I for 6 million naira

Is it a bad thing?

why are you so insensitive and childish??

bro, when it comes to your health nothing is too expensive.
i'm cannonnier, from the other thread. do you remember me?

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

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.

ItsQuinn:

yea it is,you don't need any1 to tell you

BUTCHCASSIDY:
The great thing about hearing aids is when Ure tired of hearing people's bullshit U just turn it off and have a good sleep

Lol. Nice one. It's suppose to be a secret oh

Now I remember. How is life over there?

Its a very serious issue...
Siemens and starkey seems to be among the best.

I am currently hustling for 820k to get hearing aids for my son.
Its not easy.

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

Then find someone outside the country who can help you buy it from Amazon. and send it to you.

smartty68:

Check on AliExpress.com you'll find good hearing aids and cheaper rate. Buy base on buyers review. I sure say na from there our hospital the buy from come sell at higher rates. Sorry Dear

No audiologist buys those fake stuffs from china.

Secondly,how to you tune and set the aliexpress hearing aids?

Maybe for you, but for me it's a good thing

fabiano09:

yea it is,you don't need any1 to tell you

TrollTrap:
My sis had one for years but got rid of it last 2 years as her hearing got better and she had no further use for it. If she hadn't given it out I'd have sent it to you. Quite unfortunate the healthcare system is shite in naija cah stuffs like this should be given out free or at a really really subsidised rate. I sincerely hope you find the help you seek.

Amen. Thanks for your advise

Dominique, can you please hand this person a long time ban?

terrific! I'm saving for that colchlear implant.

how are you doing?

DjAndroid:
MTN Foundation distributes hearing aids free of charge to Nigerians. make enquiries.

Thanks bro. I will contact one their staffs

ojnnaco:

Lols. What's concerns the man with this issue??
People and they hilarious replies

Al-Makura is actually suffering from similar ailment

The same China that produces fake stuffs produces the original stuffs. As for the tuning I don't know cos I haven't touched one before.

why? Do you have a prior history with the OP? Or you are just a sadist??

For why? Did I insult anybody? Just voicing my opinion like everybody else. If you don't like it, go and drown yourself inside the lagoon. Everyone is entitled to their opinion! Simple!

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

Ademoore07:




Amen. Thanks for your advise

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

blackjack21:


i'm sorry to hear about your ear Mr. op.
hearing aids are bulshit! so long it SHNL there is no certainty wether a hearing aid will work. that is because hearing aid works as sound amplifier; it's just like increasing the volume of your radio. that doctor maybe giving you a false hope.
and if you buy the hearing aid and they don't work, return would not be accepted.

your ultimate solution is colchear implant. but it's very expensive. upto 5million naira

I've SHNL too. i've been there, right now i've two hearing aid in my drawer. each for about 200k.

I don't want you to waste your money but, most importantly, i don't want you to feel sad over your hearing loss.

Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional - BUDDHA

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

Why are some people childish. someone has just raised a serious issue and the best you could mention is to joke. Anyway, you are entitle to ur opinion but lets be empathetic on issues as this.

Sisqoman:
How can i give advice! am a Art student, But if u want to Draw mad? there is advise for that

Zico5:

For where, MTN is the biggest scam I have ever known. The hearing aids they are giving out is substandard, its not for anyone with acute hearing deficiency. The hearing aids the gave out last year were for few people as such many were not contacted to collect after wasting time with tests and some rigorous formality. To get good hearing aids in Nigeria, u must be rich or else u are on ur own. The better option is corclear implant which is in millions of naira. I'm facing the same challenges, its not easy at all. U can contact me so that we can rub mind together. Mine became worse after graduation but I have been managing myself ever since. I believe all hope is not lost.

I love your comment bro. Thanks very much. I will dm u

IdisuleOurOwn:
I suffer from profound hearing loss too. I was told by my doctor to go for hearing.
