Title: Saw a BAHA
Post by: Cheryl R on December 18, 2010, 04:34:30 pm
I went shopping today in spite of the crowds.     While standing in line at the food court noticed a guy in front of me with a BAHA on.    He just got it Nov 30th and says he loves it.     I am the first person who has known what it is and was very good to talk about it.    He does not have an AN in spite of the symptoms.     They do not know the cause but the MRI was fine.      Also went to an ENT in NW Iowa to have it done and can not remember the town but not a large town like I would think.    He said ins did pay for it.  I gave them my email address so they are from NW Iowa and told them about here also.          So cool that I recognized it right off and got to talk to him.     I tried to think of the questions on the spur of the moment so did not get them all answered.

Hi Cheryl .... thanks for posting your experience.  I try to think of something that might bring a smile to those who ask about mine depending on the circumstances and location.  E.G.  soon after I got mine, I was in a restaurant near a hospital where my mom was for a few dys.  If asked, I was ready to say that I just escaped from the hospital .... and left before I could get all the monitoring thingys off of me. 

But I didn't get the chance ...... oh well .... next time perhaps.
Keep smiling!

Greg
