The NHS ones are pretty basic and you need to change the batteries

often according to friends of mine. If you want proper digitally

ones than the price is almost anything you can think of. Like you i
don't
know why, as the tech is not new.
It doesn't have to be new just refined and perfected this takes time..
and in my view its another thing like
glasses frames disability aids etc,
or phones or laptops they all pretty much do the
same thing.regarding battery usage and quality.
Thats bull**** with time between charging and protection
against malicious apps snooping on your data. And you can't
even have your iphone record all phone calls automatically so
you can check what was said if you need to. Or answer incoming
calls automatically either which is handy when driving.
what's that got to do with hearing aids ?
I commented on your claim about phones and laptops.

Plenty dont realise that they can get glasses MUCH
cheaper from china than from the local optician.
and most of those will damage your eyes
Even sillier than you usually manage
when you use the eye test prescription.
They don't give you the prescription, maybe you have to insist or ask for it but most don't hand you a prescription that goes to the assistant in order to make your specs.
This could be simialar to how it works at the doctors or even dentists.
If a doctor gives you a prescription m ost people will take it to their local chemist or pharmasist, most won't go on amazon or the dark web and order the medication.
But maybe you use a yard sale or whatever.
perhaps like some products the expensive ones are
actually better it;s just not everyone appriaciates it ,
Not true with glasses.
So how come the standard reading glasses
you can buy in chain stores aren't used more ?
Because they dont do the job as well as glasses which
are made to the prescription produced in the eye test.
and which do you think is easists to mass produce and therefor cheaper ?
I think yuo;'re gettign confused with glasses and frame here.
Nope.
Yep.
A friend had the choice of almost any frame he wanted they started at about £20 and up to over £1000, the same glass went into them, because that;s what your eye needs the actual lens to work rather than the frame to have nike or Ray-Ban or tes co.
I'd never spend £50 on a bottle of wine but I know those that
would and have, me £5.99 at most, for me wine is NOT worth more.
I feel the same way about wine, but not about scotch. The
best single malt scotch leaves the cheapest crap for dead.
I know and I've never tried scotch that
is more than £35 a bottle in case I like it,
Yeah, can be a problem. Mate of mine found a locally produced
botrytis dessert wine. Fantastic to drink but stupid price.

cheap ****,
I wouldn't even get my glass out for less than a bottle of Château Latour 2009 ;-)
Dont do that myself, particularly with steak but
I dont by the stupidly priced stuff, essentially
because I can't taste the difference.
I can with the best single malt scotch.
For myself I'm not so sure I could tell other than what I prefer.
I noticed that hardly anyone can treat it like I do the
best single malt scotch and there is always one hell
of a risk of what its cut with with heroin so didnt
ever try it for that reason alone. I'm fortunate
that my drug of choice is legal, but expensive.
but fake scotch could do you harm just like herion cut with something.
In both cases you just have to be sure of your supplier that's all.
other than that there's little difernce in the risks you might take.
Mate of mine who doesnt drink much has just gone
back to china for a month and will be getting me
some decent single malt scotch duty free
as long as it the real stuff rathe rthan the chinese version , but it might taste OK.
on the way
back. Might not work too well in the future tho coz he
plans to get one for himself and might get the habit.
Yes it's like offering anyhting that is a favourite when it comes to sharing sometimes a bit of selfishness is OK
