Ask Aviva #13: What do I do if the hearing test is only in 6 months?

Leave a Comment / Doctors, healthcare, schedule

Dear Aviva,

My hearing aids are beginning to go, and I think I’m in need of a new pair. However, when I called the number to make an appointment, they told me they only had openings in 6 months? What do I do!

Sincerely,

Hard of Hearing in Hertzaliya

 

Dear Hard of Hearing,

It seems as if some of the kupot have reduced their subcontractors for hearing tests. In fact, Maccabi Jerusalem only has 1 clinic for hearing tests! However, if you have access to a car or adequate public transportation, check out clinics in nearby cities. You’re not bound by your address in terms of where you can go for an appointment. If they have an opening sooner, you can go!

Yours in health,

Aviva

“Aviva has truly helped calm my nerves during my first few months of marriage. I felt comfortable emailing her with anything I was confused about. Before I got married I had no idea remotely how to use birth control and got much clearer answers from her than from any doctor I visited. When I first got married I had so many questions that I didn’t even know where to turn for answers. It was so simple to contact Aviva and get such clear and straightforward answers. It is so special knowing she is there as a resource.”

We strongly recommend Health Advize. We used their extensive professional knowledge in a number of different medical cases. They directed us to the proper professional; the consultant was highly available, answered kindly and patiently and helped us find the most appropriate medical solution. In our most recent situation, where doctors struggled to diagnose the illness of our 4 year old (a burst appendix) , Aviva [the consultant] was a source of support, advice and guidance, which it helped us a lot and gave us confidence to make the right decisions.

Aviva helped me with arranging critical medical appointments and also with submitting a claim for disability status. Aviva responds rapidly to queries, works highly effectively, and is also kind and helpful. She is very knowledgeable in the issues around healthcare and disability.

I met Aviva by chance. I thank God every day that I did. Any person with a disability, a chronic illness, mobility issues or needs help at home should have her contact info. She reaches parts of bureaucracy that others cannot.

Aviva is extremely dedicated and committed to results. My favorite part of working with her was knowing that no matter what came up, she would take care of it. Israeli beaurocracy can be so unpredictable, having someone taking care of the process is exactly what i needed
