[QUOTE=biker1;1407006]It is always best to shop around, educate yourself, ask lots of questions, and be willing to go outside the bubble. I have no doubt that many people are taken advantage of but technology and expertise never comes cheap. As we all get older, ears, teeth, and joints become problematic. Fixing them is generally not cheap and finding the right people may take some time.[/QUOTE]
And impatient.
I guess you figured that out.
Another thing is that the hearing aid industry is peopled with folks that have no verified knowledge, except for audiologists. Some are like slick Eddie, the used car salesman. I didn't want to shop for deals and it is difficult to ascertain immediately if your hearing aid works, your brain has to acclimate to the whole process and that takes time. It isn't like putting on glasses that usually correct vision immediately.
Thank God for neuronal plasticity. And my husband. He knows how to get me to do things. I'm so stubborn. He is such a dear man.
