Hearing aids

[BigAl52]

When they tested me they lady there recommended these as my hearing loss was medium to no good. Guess I had the music to loud when I was younger not to mention loud pipes on motorcycles and trucks. Kids you know!

Shooting, loud music and factory noise before OSHA rules did me in I think.
I have seen many ads for the over the counter hearing aids but I would be concerned about having them programed for me specifically to make them optimal. I had aids in the 80s that were sort of tuned but they were such a pain turning them up and down that I waited until the tech got to the point of them being comfortable to use and I don't regret that.

I think the Costco membership is like 60 per year. I cant tell you for sure because my step daughter adds me to hers because she works for Costco. Yes in the price for 2. If you decide to go thru with it they will test you and recommend a set from there. You may be able to get away with the Kirkland set which is even less than the ones I have

info on Costco membership appreciated .... I have an appointment scheduled for 10AM tomorrow with a local business that takes our State Employee Insurance .... the testing is done and I have a copy of the results (that I really don't understand) to give them .... I honestly have no clue what to expect

I feel bad for those with hearing problems. Fortunately after 50 years of running saws ,routers and hammer drills, My hearing is still very good. I can thank using ear plugs when shooting and thinking that it would be good to do the same with power tools and even the lawn mower etc.So at almost 75 at least that's one part of me that still works .

Ya well when I was doin all that cool stuff with loud pipes and music I didnt realize back then that you couldnt fix stupid. Some guys are just smarter than us other guys

Oh well.... ya must also remember... when you are young you feel so good... you bounce back so fast, it gives you the illusion that you are invincable... as you age, by the time you start noticing that is not true at all....well.... you must live with the results. Thats the way it works...

well, after additional testing and a good bit of conversation, we settled on a pair of hearing aids that should be delivered late this week or early next week .... looking forward to putting them to use
