The cost of putting technology in a small package can be substantial. The people supporting the product deserve to be compensated fairly. People in every industry will try to make as much money as they can. Hearing aids are not amplifiers. They are sophisticated digital signal processors which then amplify the frequency bands where you are experiencing hearing loss. Technology never comes cheap.
Palm Ridge Dentistry is excellent. Both Kareem Jaber and Kathleen Williams are graduates of University of Florida College of Dentistry at Gainesville. Our daughter Helene, born with Williams Syndrome has unusual dentition and they recognized it and knew about it although WS if rare. They retaught me some very good hygiene and I thought I was very aware.

We went to the only ENT office that I know of in The Villages and there was a missed diagnosis on a lump on our daughters neck. It can happen and cat scratch fever is rare. But that is another story.

We like the dentist a lot but would go somewhere else for ENT.

How much did you pay for your aids, Biker1, if you don't mind my asking?

I am glad you are fit well Perrojo. I am fit well too, now... I realize that people's hearing loss needs to be carefully diagnosed and I realize too that I have severe hearing loss in one ear and pretty signicant hearing loss in the other.

I want to thank the person who sent me to Villages Ear. They are excellent. And reasonable in price. My hearing aids are Phonak with all of the latest technology.
