Default Hearing aids.

I need new hearing aids. In Ohio,I had used an audiologist that I knew well. That didn't keep her from charging me the going rate for hearing aids, i.e. small amplifiers that are made to fit in your ear that cost about six thousand dollars for a pair. I feel that all hearing aid businesses are out to gouge us. It to me is like seeking quasi medical help from slick eddie the used car salesman. Anyone here have someone you think is an ethical person?

If you have not purchased hearing aids, it is not similar to buying glasses where you know immediately if you can see better. Having a hearing loss corrected is much more challenging and you don't know immediately when you put your new "hearers" in if they are going to be as effective as they should be in all situations.

It is a crapshoot again, that I am dreading. I have one six thousand dollar pair of "losers" in the drawer.
