Hearing aids
I had to order a new set of hearing aids as I seemed to have mulched one with the mower couple weeks ago and the replacement warranty expired. I have gone to Costco the last 3 times and found them very good. They provide an excellent hearing test, good equipment and wonderful backup and warrantees. I just ordered a set for $1500 that I had quoted previously from audiologists for 4 times that amount. I have 6 months to decide to keep them without penalty, 3 years full warranty and replacement of each aid one time if lost or broken and unlimited visits at no charge if they need adjustment or whatever. They are the largest distributor of hearing aids in the US and I don't like to talk too much about it around here because it is becoming more difficult to get an test appointment within 2-3 weeks. My hearing is deteriorating and this time I was told the best I can expect is 65% comprehension but it beats the alternative. I get tired of asking people to repeat themselves and they are tired of me asking.

Re: Hearing aids
Hearing Aids absolutely changed my world.
I'm very fortunate that my Health Insurance pays 100% for hearing aids costing up to $10K and they'll replace them every three years. I've had mine for almost two years and love them. They also came with a bonus; Bluetooth connectivity that allows me to receive TV, phone, tablet, and computer audio streams.
What a huge improvement they've made in my life!

Re: Hearing aids
Do they make hearing aids to block people out? My hearing is good if there is no background noise. And I was artillery in the Army.

Re: Hearing aids
After my VA hearing aids kicked the bucket, I decided to buy my own since the drive to the VA Hospital for repairs as an all day affair. The hearing aids I bought had an adjustment to them to lower, raise and also cancel out background noise.
