I went to get fitted for hearing aids on Tuesday. $6K for them. Of course after insurance (which we're losing with my wife's job today), $3.5K. The clinic is pushing hearing aids for one company, which I find extremely distasteful.
I'm planning on having my earmuffs around my neck when I goose hunt this year. I need to protect what's left of my hearing. White noise? Part of my every waking moment.
Sorry you hearing is going too. If you are paying that kind of $$, I sure hope they are the waterproof ones. Mine are 5 yrs old and I didn't think it would be an issue, but the batteries gong dead every time I sweat a bit really pisses me off. Water resistant / water proof are now available, but I'm not quite ready to part with another 4 - 6 grand to resolve that issue.
The sport ear 412 waterproof are about $2500 and the high zoot 812 waterproof are about $3 grand plus tax, license and dealer prep. For that kind of dough, I think I'll talk to my audiologist and see what they offer. Appt next week.
