Could you ever swing a budget of $2-3 thousand for actual hearing aids? My wife has been going deaf for years and we needed to do something about it; shw could not hear normal level conversations anymore. The local audiologists were asking $5-7k for a pair. I got to researching, and found a good place selling them on-line for well under half.... for the best name brands. They even have a technology where you can adjust them after you wear them for a while, at no charge.
The online seller is BuyHear.com; they are in Iowa. We got some top end Widex ones for my wife, but they have several levels of aids. If you get a hearing test at an audiologist, then you send a copy in to BuyHear, and their audiologist makes a recommendation from that.
I have been watching TV with the closed caption on for a few years now, I have no problem hearing comentators on racing or hockey but movies it is next to impossible to hear what they are saying. I like The Big Bang Theory but the girl Bernatete I can`t understand a single word out of her.
To buy hearing aids here in Canada I would have to sell my Duster and my Grandson to afford them.
