 Re: Am I deaf enough? (Re: 1jerome)

<<Frankly, I just don't like the audiologist I've seen. Actually, she's a Doctor of Audiology. While she may be good at her job, she isn't a very good communicator, and I get the feeling that she doesn't want to take the time to explain anything. No matter what choice I make, if it involves a hearing aide, I would be working with her. I suppose I could request a different Audi doc at the same place.>>
I went through several audies before finding one that suited me - and it was worth the time and effort. The process of adjusting to the Baha can be frustrating, especially during the healing phase and the fine tuning of the processor, so you need someone with whom you are comfortable and can communicate effectively with. You have to feel they have your best interests at heart, IMO.
My advice would be to try another audie and see if you mesh a little better.  Best of luck!
