[TheForge] Hearing aids

[kim george]

The best advice I can give is don't be vain. The full shell aids are much 
more inexpensive. I've got about $1200 in the pair I'm picking up tomorrow 
. Second if you have a speech &hearing clinic at your local university go 
there. They don't have the profit margin that some one like belltone has.
