Hearing aids are ordered (first-time user)

Looks like I’m getting Starkey Genesis AI mRIC R 24 channel. Edge AI was not available for me through my insurance, and I’m hoping that by the time I reach the “replace every 5 years” mark for my insurance that out of pocket costs will not be a concern. I am super lucky that my annual performance bonus is covering all my out of pocket costs this time.

I have a 60 day trial period, and I’m not going for a table mic or remote mic just yet.

My biggest concern now is figuring out a way to eventually pair my HAs with my Windows PC (I believe my work laptop has Windows 10, and my personal laptop has Windows 11).

However, I do have a backup in that I could request a MacBook from work as a reasonable accommodation, so I will explore that option as well (it’s really hard to get a MacBook, and requires a purchase exception, but because this is a reasonable accommodation, it might be easier to get.)

They are hoping to get the new aids in late this week or early next week. Fingers crossed.
