Just so you know - most insurance plans don't cover hearing aid related procedures.\n\nYour code books should have an alphabetical index so you can look-up the specific codes you need.\n\nMany Ear and Hearing evaluation procedure codes start with 925**\nThere are hearing aid procedure codes, but I'm not remembering them off the top of my head.\nHearing loss diagnoses start with 389.**\nOther diagnoses relating to otologic conditions can be looked up depending on the condition.\n\nAudiology Associations will have information on coding for you:\nhttp://www.asha.org/about/\nhttp://www.audiology.org/professional/\nhttp://www.audiologist.org/professionals/

Doing a search in yahoo brought up this:\n\nMénière's (pronounced "men-years") disease is a disorder of the inner ear that affects hearing and balance. It causes sudden attacks of vertigo (a spinning sensation), tinnitus (a loud ringing in the ears\n\nSo I'd say yes. On the otherhand, unless that's been an official diagnosis I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. You can get dizziness from any problem with the inner ear, such as an inner ear infection. Ear infections I've had many, many times. (Sometimes I'd just close my eyes and lose my balance.) It goes without saying (so I'll say it!), if you're suffering from dizzy spells, you should definately talk to a doctor. (I used to think inner ear infections were just annoying, until I found out the infections can lead to permanent hearing loss.) Good luck.

I would suggest going to an audiologist.  They have the equipment and knowledge to determine the level of deafness, and might be able to suggest a hearing aid.  I know of someone with 90 percent deafness that has somewhat serviceable hearing by using a hearing aid.

I don't know how much I can help as I am not completely deaf, yet.  In fact, I seldom use my hearing aids around home because everyone here knows of my problem.  I do wear them any time I am in public.  So, let me answer some of your questions and some you didn't ask.\n\nMy hearing loss is considered significant to severe.  I was exposed to noise hazards in the military including jet engines, weapons fire, and, believe it or not, first generation computer equipment like impact printers.  This sort of loss affects a persons ability to hear high frequencies.  I have tennitis (sp??), a condition sometimes call "ringing in the ears".  I hear a noise that resembles the noise you might hear holding a seashell up to your ear.  A sort of rushing noise, as well as a whistle mixed in with the rushing noise.  This condition is with me 24/7, I never get any relief from it.  My case is not severe, it falls into the nuisance category.  Some people have literally gone mad because of this condition.  A few have even elected to be surgically deafened in an attempt to free themselves from the constant noise.  It is my understanding that these drastic measures did not help the sufferer to any substantial degree.\n\nI have hearing aids.  These devices are wonderful, they are state of the art and help me far beyond anything mere words can describe.  However, they are not without their own problems.  Some sounds are simply unbelievable.  For instance, rustling paper is almost unbearable.  The sound of rushing water is very bad.  When I urinate in a urinal or toilet the sound of those two waters meeting is almost unbearable.  It sounds like Niagara Falls on steroids.  I normally turn them off when I use the bathroom but sometimes I forget and it wakes me up.  Another problem area is wind.  If wind hit’s the hearing aids just right it causes them to act like metal funnel, directing, amplifying and adding a tinny sound to the wind noise you would hear.  If the wind doesn’t hit just right there is no problem what so ever. \n\nMy hearing aids are both programmable like a graphic equalizer and directionally sensitive.  What this means is the devices are programmed to increase the volume of frequencies where my hearing is the worst.  Most hearing loss from loud sound is concentrated in the higher frequency ranges.  This type of hearing loss makes it difficult for me to pick out particular sounds from background noises.  Trying to carry on a conversation with some one at a party is nearly impossible.  That's where the directional feature comes in.  With a switch I can change from omni directional i.e. hear sounds from in front and behind me at the same time, to directional where I turn off most of the noise generated behind me and focus the hearing aids toward the front.  This function allows me to essentially turn off background noise.  It also helps a great deal with the reduction of the wind noise discussed above.\n\nOK, I think I am about done.  If I missed anything or if you have any other questions, contact me through my profile.  I will gladly answer any questions that I can about my situation.

This is a serious matter. I have a hearing aid that does not fit. I have special ears that were damaged by a car crash. I went to a reputable clinic and was fitted to one that works nicely. The big problem, I am stuck with the other hearing aid from the internet.

Do a search of your state. For example type "Division of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing NJ" if you live in NJ. You can also do searches of "disability".

If you are hearing impaired, you can ask for assistance from an usher. They can usually supply you with a device to help you.

Yes, no and yes.\nThe hearing part is really sensing vibrations, but they don't ACTUALLY hear.

Don't know about the reference...\n\nWhat I do know: music theory, and the theory of musical scales (particularly the mathematical description of scales) is a formal description of what sounds right (and wrong) to the human ear...

The limitation period is unfortunately six years for personal injury cases, which is what this is.  It is most unfortunate that you didn't bring an action against them twenty years ago.  For cases involving loss of hearing very strict scales are applied to asses the degree of hearing loss, so things are not always as cut and dry as one might suppose. I'm very sorry.
