Hi Dr. Rich,
You won’t believe what just happened! After driving home from shopping, I realized my left hearing aid wasn’t in my ear. I immediately drove back to the store. I went to the app & tapped on Finder. But apparently the door had not been shut all the way because it was not showing up in the Finder. I had just put them in before I went into the store. I searched my car & retraced my steps several times & spent 2 hours looking for it. I asked employees & left my name & number at customer service. But refused to leave because I knew it had to be there. Even though the Finder displayed it wasn’t turned on, I kept looking at the Map. At first it showed the last time I had it in was at my house (it gave my address. So cool!) However, now it’s showing the left one in the same area as the right! The right one was lit up but the left was in grey. I searched the parking lot again, in the rain. I finally went back in the store. I was standing near the registers praying, I looked down at the Map and it displayed BOTH where right there! Miraculously, the indicator came on!! I could actually see it connecting! I was so stunned I could hardly move. But finally I started tracking it moving back and forth when the the red line went up and down indicating closer or further away. I finally stood in one place when it indicated it was there & looked around. I was standing behind the register where I had previously checked out. Looking down all I could see was lots of dust balls. Suddenly, I carefully used my toe to move the dust & THERE IT WAS!! I almost cried. It was in 2 pieces. The back had fallen off. Somehow the indicator came back on because the door still wasn’t shut all the way.
When I saw the condition I thought, “Well at least I found it. Hopefully. Rich can fix it.” But then I snapped it back on & its working GREAT! It’s a miracle! Thanking God for helping me find it!
If it wasn’t for the Finder, I would have NEVER found them!
Thank you so much for these awesome high tech hearing aids!
Forever grateful,
C.M.
