Hearing aids
Re: Hearing aids
Completed my visit to Costco for the hearing test. After testing and discussing my results, the technician programed a set of hearing aids for me to try. I spent 15 minutes walking the store and chatting with the nice ladies giving samples of products. All I can say is AMAZING!!! I hadn't realized how much I was missing.
I jumped several times because I heard someone behind me. I thought they were about to bump into me. When I turned and looked they were well over 10 feet away. I could hear conversations from shoppers as thy passed by - never did before.
I will be calling Costco to set up a final filing and training session first thing Monday morning. I should have them before Christmas. Cost will be $1399.

Re: Hearing aids
That story sounds very familiar. The new technology is pretty wonderful. It isn't perfect but it made a large difference in my life. It can be a bit frustrating in loud environments but then it is anyway without the aids. Hope everything works out for you.
Have a Merry Christmas.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Hearing aids
At 3 months out you might just set a date and lock in an appointment. I'd still be procrastinating if I didn't lock in something.

Re: Hearing aids
UPDATE:
Just checked with my health insurance plan and as of Jan. 1, 2022 they will now cover my hear aid purchase. Before this they only covered the exam, but that was no charge since I'm a Costco member. So I was scheduled to get them on 12/16/21, but I contacted Costco and pushed that date out to 1/6/22. Not sure how much they will cover but whatever it is, it's better than nothing.

Re: Hearing aids
The day of reckoning has arrived!!! I picked up my hearing aids today from Costco and have been wearing them since noon. All I can say is there is a world out there I have been missing for way too long. I cannot see ever going back to life with them. Best $1399.99 I've ever spent. (Well maybe buying another Henry might run a very close second.)
Here are some of my first observations:
- DIdn't know the turn signals in my truck made a clicking sound when flashing.
- Several people told me the blower on my gas fireplace in my man cave made too much noise ... hmmm guess they were right.
- Siri talks too loud in my truck (had to turn volume down).
- Can now hear my wife call me in man cave from upstairs. (Can no longer ignore faint sounds I once heard.)
- I can now watch Youtube videos and TV and hear both, instead of a garbled mess.
There's plenty more but you get the idea - they work great!

Re: Hearing aids
Once you have them it is hard to do without. It really was amazing what I was missing. Congratulations Paul, sorry I missed the post .

Re: Hearing aids
Ernie you are correct. I've had them for about 4 weeks now and I can't imagine how I could do without them.
Thank you for being one of the driving forces for me to get them.
