I did a similar lap thing - and yes they fell. Only one went into my skirt pocket and the other to the ground. I looked and looked but couldn't find it in all the leaves. Since I couldn't afford to replace it, I only had one aid for 6 months. Then one day I saw it lying under my car. I had been parking over it all the time! I took it to my audiologist she cleaned it and it was fine. Hi Cindy,

Once, I was playing football whilst it was pelting it down with rain - my aids got soaked and stopped working completely. Amazingly, after a day or so in a Hal-Hen pot they started working again - I was surprised and very, very relieved. I’ve never lost my hearing aids but I have soaked them a few times.

I don't blame you at all...even one minute of their busy schedule would have saved you hundreds of dollars. They probably had no idea what hearing aids looked like. Stupid hearing people...wouldn't we love to wring their necks sometimes...even as some of us flush our hearing aids down the toilet!

I'm so sorry this happened to you. And you are NOT the only one who has done this. I know someone else who lost a hearing aid in the parking lot. She was luckier cause hers didn't get run over. I know another guy who jumped into the ocean with his hearing aids on. Went snorkling. They didn't work after that. I've been very lucky. I've dropped mine in the sink and toilet, but they still worked. Knocking on wood now. . . :-) Awwww! I’m so sorry this happened to you. And you are NOT the only one who has done this.

I was diagnosed as hard of hearing last year at the age of 40. It really took me by surprise as no one in my family had a history of hearing loss. I work in a library and have to cope with soft spoken people all the time. Thank you for sharing your stories. It helps that I'm not alone. I've recently started a somewhat humorous blog about my adjustment to hearing aids. Can I list your blog on my favorites list? Sarah Hi Cindy,
