Hi Carol, If the hearing aid ever turns up I shall keep it as a spare. I am 
having a new one made 
but the audiology department are charging me £56. I tried claiming on my 
insurance but they have only given me £11. I am not too bothered about it 
though. I have had hearing aids for about 40 years and may lose another one if 
I live to be 100. Little boxes do not help, it just depends where I am when the 
phone rings and where the cordless phone is at the time.I have to have it near 
by or it stops ringing before I get to it. What I need is some way of stopping 
unwanted telephone calls from people wanting to sell me a wheelchair or give me 
a free holiday etc. I am supposed to belong to the telephone preference society 
but it has made no difference. I just have to put the phone down as soon as 
someone says "Good norning Mrs Kay how are you today" Most times I remember ro 
retrieve my hearing aid but just now and again I forget. This is just one of 
the hazards of growing old. Not to worry though a lot of elderly people are 
worse off than me. I have much to be thankful for. A lost hearing aid is just 
one of those things.  love Elizabeth

hi Elizabeth 
oh dear not good 
just check your carpet because some times hearing aids can actually fall just 
slitely in between carpets and walls  if your telephone is on table perhaps you 
could see if hearing aid is under the table  or perhaps under the telephone 
itself 
or might have slipped behind your curtains on floor 

what I do now is put my hearing aid and cochlear implant in little special 
tupper wear box  with lid all the time especially when take it out at night 
time 
got use to it now being in certain place all the time 
so try and get nice special box for it
