jvissers@mininggazette.com Joshua Vissers/Daily Mining Gazette Melissa Collard, audiologist with U.P. Audiology, slips one of Tom Talvensaari’s new hearing aids into his ear on Thursday. Tom Talvensaari has had hearing aids for 35 years. But his insurance doesn’t cover them anymore, unless he can drive to Marquette every time he needs them serviced, or to see an audiologist. “So he has hearing aids now. They’re older,” said Melissa Collard, Talvensaari’s audiologist at U.P. Audiology. “He’s had so many issues with them.” She said it is past time for Talvensaari to get new hearing aids. He was even using “loaners” when he came into Collard’s office Thursday. However, his insurance wouldn’t pay for them or any other replacement.
