[TheForge] Hearing aids

[Rick]

Hello Don -

    I had a hearing aid for my worst ear years ago.  It was a Miracle Ear 
brand.  DON'T just take some one person's word for it that you will be 
helped by them.  I spent $1000. for the one i had and it did NOT help at 
all.  What they didn't tell me until I had it in my hand was that i would 
need to keep out of crowds, and try to only be where I could be one-on-one 
with people.  My loss was when I was NOT one-on-one and so it was no help at 
all.  Wore it for a year, it was custom molded to the inside of my ear and 
could not be returned.  Finally quit wearing it at all.  didnt help.

Good luck and please go to more than one person before investing in these,
