Title: Celebrity BAHA Users
Post by: keithk on January 06, 2011, 04:14:12 pm

Does anyone know if there are any celebrities who wear a BAHA.

Not that I'm a BAHA expert, but I don't know of any.

Then again, celebrities are sometimes hesitant to disclose things like this so you never know.

I'm sure many celebrities as they age need hearing aids, yet I've never seen a celebrity sporting one.  Has anyone else?

Leslie Neilson (RIP) wore one in each ear. A hearing aid I mean.

Jan is being modest - she is OUR celebrity BAHA user, along with Lori and Kaybo, of course...

I noticed last week that Rush Limbaugh was wearing an aid.  (He was on the golf channel.)  I googled it and learned that he has something like a cochlear implant.

Correct.  Limbaugh went deaf in 2001 and received a cochlear implant at HEI.

Rush does have a CI.  Didn't know he got it @ HEI though.

Thanks for the info., Jim.
