I like that it sounds like most places let you try before you buy.
Do some checking. In Indiana and other surrounding States the Hearing Aids are free from Uncle Sam. As long as you are still employed and hearing is required to do your job efficiently ( DUH ) The hearing Aids are free. I believe it is part of Americans with Disabilities Act. In the last 5 years I have 3 pairs that they supplied me. All you need is a note from Nurse that you did miserable on hearing test. I wear them sparingly as I have selective hearing. I dislike all 3 pairs although they do help.
