Changing audiologists

[Guest guest]

Hi Lee

I changed audiologists after almost 6 yrs with the same one.I liked her but I

have found that my present audiologist is experienced with my problems and has

helped me so very much..you never know..this might work out for the better.

Hi, Nina, I read where you say you'd like to change audiologists but would

feel uncomfortable. Just wanted to let you know a friend of mine felt the

very same way. She finally decided to go for it - changed - and is very

happy. She has since seen her old audi in passing at the office and there is

no problem or discomfort. Sometimes it is just the thing you need to restart

your progress. Good luck. Jackie )

Jackie,

Thanks for that! I'm really going to think about it. I seriously want to

change, just for a second opinion, if not for anything else. It's just so

hard, but I have some months to think it over.

Nina,

This is a little off-topic, but it does relate to the idea of changing audis. I

had a psychiatrist last year who refused to treat my rapid cycling and mania.

Everytime I told him I was rapid cycling or manic, he told me to see him in 3

months. This went on for 1.5 years. (Why I put up with his behavior for that

long, I have no clue.) I finally decided to put my foot down. I reported him to

my state's medical board as well as Medicaid/Medicare and found a new

psychiatrist. I'm now working with a wonderful psychiatrist who takes my

treatment seriously. We get along great and I feel very comfortable with him. A

change in audis may be exactly what you need.

Thanks, and you're right! When it comes to your medical health, it really

has to be your decision. I was placed with this audiologist, I did not

choose her. I hear that she is fantastic and everyone in my support group

who has her loves her. However, I just don't think she may be the best one

for my situation. I'm so glad I have some time to ponder this. I already

have in mind who I'd like to see. I'm going to look in to it.

Thanks, so much, it helps to hear others support!

Nina,

You're welcome! If it makes you feel any better, I'm now doing great on my new

med regimen. It took my new psychiatrist 2 months to figure out what meds would

help me as opposed to a psychiatrist who just wanted to collect his fee of $100

for a 5-10 minute appointment. That should help encourage you about finding an

audi that you can trust and have a good professional relationship with.

Again thank you, and more importantly, I'm SO happy to hear that you are

doing great on your new med regimen! Makes life so much more pleasant! It's

so important to feel good.
