    Hearing Aides,,,,,,,,,,any suggestions?

    My wife has been on to me for 10 years to buy hearing aides, i thought it was just her a mumbleing but now the boss (Kerry) at work says the same thing and my customers are telling me i am giving them a 5000.00 better deal on boats than what i figured so i guess it is time for me to start looking. Any of you guys sell them and what is the best kind to buy, discounts for a poor BBC member would be appreciated

    Unitron makes some nice models, and there is a wide range of pricing depending on what you want. Everyone is different, so a visit to the ear doctor and then an audiologist would be your best bet. It's all about comfort - if you aren't comfortable wearing them, then they are money wasted.

    I wear Phonak. They are adjustable for stereo sound or to hear where your nose is pointed...that might not make much sense to you now but when you go into a busy restaurant or other noisy place, you'll understand.

    Mine cost several thousands but I dont have an exact figure.

    My wife says I never look at her when she's talking, or something like that.

    I wear siemens brand. I had an audiologist test me and then order the aids. She set them up for my hearing loss. They have 3 settings, normal, for watching TV, and for in crowds like restaurants .$700.00 a piece. When the wind blows, one of mine sounds like a mic when wind blows through it Good luck!

    Absolutely Mike...not to mention that "tinny" sound! I never realized how annoyingly loud the key chain was in the truck ignition while driving down the road!

    Yeah semen in the ears will help,
    I started wearing glasses last year and now need the hearing aids too.
    Not giving $5000 discounts thu I still hear the sound of money.
