The Cost of Hearing Aids
This has been bugging me for a while. Never mind the high price of gas! All you boomers coming down the pike will want to think about this one.I don't use hearing aids, but think about what they are. And think about what we are surrounded with-500 dollar computers, 300 dollar phones that can haul in the world in images and sound.
WHY does a hearing aid cost THOUSANDS of dollars?
And someone will murmur--Well, they have to be fitted to your ear.
Say what? I got musicians earplugs a couple of years ago from a hearing doctor at a hospital. Cost? 75 dollars. So that's how much the custom part costs!
This has to be some kind of racket.
I just want you all to think about it. It's really quite appalling.

Why does it cost thousands of dollars? Because we will pay thousands of dollars so we can hear and be part of society instead of being alone. I hope they burn in hell for the gouging they do.2007-05-19 07:59:54
