[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1622738, member: 5412"] Well, let me tell you, and everybody else that thinks they are a badbutt, and don't need those ear plug things sticking out of my ears. Your hearing is one of the things one needs to protect. I know folks with hearing aids in their 30's and 40's. Actually, let me clarify this. They qualify for hearing aids after working in high noise enviroments, but choose vanity, and possible embarassment, thinking people may think less of them because they wear hearing aids. Let me assure you. People will think better of you when you are not saying "huh" after every thing they say. Hearing aids are not the total answer. Hearing loss is caused by nerve damage to the inner ear. It is not correctible by surgery. Implants and hearing aids are the only current answer. Here comes the big warning!! There are lots of shysters out there that sell hearing aids. You cannot buy them off the net. Its a closed dealer only. You see these full page ads in the paper, and their facilities are either in a trailer, or in a mall. Guess what? Who pays for these ads? Suckers. One can search around and find the same aids for a few hundred bucks cheaper, but the level of service going with a reputable MEDICAL hearing service will result in a whole lot more satisfaction than a person with a fly by night hearing tester, and a briefcase of hearing aids. Current hearing testing, tests your hearing at different levels of volume and frequency. If you get aids, the technician or Doctor will adjust the frequency, and volume to compensate for the loss. Additional features in aids, is that they can program the 3 or 4 channel models to be better in office, restaurants, etc to block out the background noise that will not be blocked by cheap aids. No hearing aids can make your hearing like it was in your teens. Its just an aid. Last comment: Protect your hearing. Your family and co-workers will appreciate it. Not hearing the deer coming up behind you, your kids saying something, a co-worker yelling at you before walking into a dangerous situation, etc, WILL make a difference to you. [/QUOTE]
