Bought some hearing aids today(UPDATE)
See post on second page Please.
I have tried hearing aids three time in the last 20 years and never could stand them. Last night I went to Costco and was tested and given a demo of some brand new ones. They are Quintra models from Rexton(Siemens) and after the test and programming I was sent out into the store to see if they helped. I almost left without returning them. One of my biggest problems was highly amplified background noise, not with these. I could talk on my cell without using the speaker, hear individual voices in a crowd and a host of other good things I haven't know for decades.
I have a great HMO but they own the distributor that you have to use and I am entitled to free aids and disability due to service related problems. Pass on the HMO, not good people dispensers, Passed on VA, I have a great plan and a great retirement and there are other that don't and need the VA money more than I. These aids are fantastic, can't wait for delivery of mine in the next two weeks.
