Let it be known that prices quoted are like buying a car and can be negotiated down by a large amount. I've been wearing hearing aids for 13 years and am on my 3rd or 4th set. I killed one that had fallen out of my ear after removing my motorcycle hemet. Not knowing it had fallen out stepped on it and crushed it.
Make sure whatever you get it comes with a wax guard that is replaceable. The set I am now using has this and I have to replace it about once a month as it becomes clogged and my hearing becomes muted. My hearing aids before this didn't have this and when the hearing aid quit working I had to have it repaired for about $200.
