Hi, my name is Debra L. O'Brien. I need hearing aids. Every time I start to save for the hearing aids, something else takes priority, like a medical bill or my car. I was born with a birth defect and have 90 percent hearing loss in my right ear and 40 percent hearing loss in my left ear. It is so frustrating not being able to hear family or friends at social gatherings, always having to tell someone, "You're on my bad side, and I can't hear you." When someone is behind me and they are talking, I can't hear a word they are saying. The volume of the TV is very loud so I can hear it. My friends and family are very patient with me, but I know it is frustrating for them too. Costco has a pair of hearing aids that will work for me, but they're not cheap and they don't have a payment plan. It is very hard to ask for help because of pride, but I know I can't get help unless I ask. I appreciate any financial help you can give me. Thank you. Deb
