Waitzman Ariel MD

Convenient parking right across the street. This place was easy to find as well. Went here for a hearing test. Even though I studied for this test I flunked!!! No, my hearing I do have some hearing loss, but not toooo toooo bad. Maybe it is called selective hearing!!!
Walked in and signed in. The young lady behind the counter gave me some forms to fill out. Filled them out and gave them back to her and asked her if she also wanted my firstborn!!! I hate it when places ask for your social security number — it is none of their business. Please update the forms because you really do not need this information any longer! Hello, have you heard of identity theft???
Was called into the back where I met Dr. Waitzman who asked me what my problems were. I started to tell him, but he said no — about your hearing!!! Oh, I’m confused, you asked me and I started to tell you my life story. Oh well. To get back to my hearing…
He sent me to another place within the office where another doctor came and checked me for hearing loss. Lo and behold — I am a little hard of hearing. It seems like when I am in a room full of people I can’t hear anyone who is just talking to me — I hear all the background noise!!! Annoying.
He then takes me into his office and shows me what hearing would be like with a hearing aide! OMG the world opened up. He had said something about there are studies about hearing loss and altzheimers or dementia! Apparently a part of your brain shuts down when you can’t hear!!! Is that my problem??? He tells me at that point that hearing aids are approx. $ 3000 — cough, cough, gag! I told him I can’t afford that! So, this nice, handsome, young doctor gives me a referral and says since I live in Wayne County and work in Wayne County that I am eligible for some funding. I told give me the referral!!! So, next week I have to go to a counselor and we will see what happens there — I will give you an update at that time! Ciao for now.
