No prob, Tekkie..I could use a little humor at this point. When I wear my hearing aids, the floor creaking is beyond belief. Bet it would blow the amp & headphones g.

I hate the damn hearing aids, but the audiologist said they would "reprogram" my brain after a year, so the noise volume isn't so startling. Au contraire, I'm losing the few marbles I had left vbg



Higgy, I consider hearing aids a racket. I understand they work - mostly -

but I am very wary of the salespeople. Big bux aren't they?

HUGE! I'm fortunate to have insurance that mostly covers them, but can only get new ones every 3 years, and the technology doesn't seem to progress much.

Your statement about "racket" is too general for my scientific mind g.
Maybe you're thinking of those TV ads? Good heavens, no, no, no.

Anyone who needs hearing corrected should go to an audiologist for a thorough workup. If audiologist finds special problems, he/she might refer you to an MD specializing in hearing problems. If not, they can suggest the appropriate aid.

Like any medical/dental need, the best way to locate a provider is to ask, ask, ask among your friends, colleagues, family. And listen CAREFULLY how they describe the provider. Reason I caution that: Some people are just too apathetic or scared to change doctors even when it's clearly indicated. I have them in my family!

Good luck!
