I was complaining to my coworker about the cost of hearing aids today when she recommended that I look into Vocational Rehabilitation. I went to to the website and got their number. I called and was told I'd have to go to an initial meeting before getting a counselor. The receptionist told me the times and that no appointment was needed. My initial meeting with Voc Rehab was on October 5th. That was my day off so I was able to go, there were a lot of other people there, all ages so I didn't feel so self-conscious. I had to watch a video about what Vocational Rehabilitation is and other stuff. After I asked the guy who'd been in charge if he thought Voc Rehab would be able to help me. I explained my situation and he thought they would be able to help so I made an appointment with Heidi Immell who would be my counselor. I'm still going forward with Audient in case the Voc Rehab doesn't work out. I have an appointment with another audiologist at Hearing and Balance Center for the Audient program at 1pm. They want to see exactly how bad my hearing is before they can offer any assistance.
