[TheForge] Hearing aids

[Bruce Freeman]

Don,

There's an alternative these days.  It's a box the size of a small box
of matches and a couple earphones.  It picks up all the sounds around
you and amplifies them.  That sounds like a hearing aid to me, but the
price tag is about $20 or $40, not thousands.  Try Radio Shack.

Anyone else out there recently had to purchase hearing aids and might
share  
some thoughts and suggestions with me. It is shaping up as a dreadful
expense. 
 Guess I shoulda started wearing hearing protection twenty years ago, 
but...
 
I dont really have any psychological or emotional problems about
wearing  
them. But the thought of spending $3000 for both ears is creating great
 
emotional stress. 
 
If you respond, write loud.
