Loss of Hearing

Posts Tagged ‘Cost’

any body had good or bad experience choosing it; buying it, dealing with hearing aid suppliers??? or getting insurance coverage for it???

In today’s advanced technological age where computers and other electronics have come down in price by thousands of dollars, why are hearing aids still so unaffordable for the elderly on fixed incomes?

When I was a teenager, I experienced sudden hearing loss in one ear. For several years I wore one of the old fashioned CROS hearing aids with the connecting wire that had to be run either through my hair or along my hairline at my neck. I got tired of it and stopped wearing it. That has been about 10 years ago. I’ve heard that now because of digital technology, the wire is not necessary. Can anyone tell me about how much I should expect to pay for a wireless CROS model now? I have little or no hearing loss in my good ear. Also, which companies sell this type of hearing aid? If you have used one, please tell me if you’ve been satisfied with the results. Thanks.

I need about 100 of them. I’m looking for something SIMILAR to the flashing lights seen used in supermarket displays, but the entire package must be very small and compact.
