No ear plugs,like no Q tips.....if you didn't use headphones for the last 10,20,30,40,50 years your hearing mine not, have gotten so bad. Children today have ear plugs,in at 4 years old....they will be deaf by time their 31.
Hearing Aids
I have used hearing aids for 20 years, but primarily for understanding voices in movies and TV. I was considering selling my Merlin TSM speakers, but in the meantime, my wife and family were starting to complain about my hi fi levels. I put the aids in, and...WOW....what a difference in clarity and depth! Why the heck didn't I try this sooner? This was one reason why I decided to stick with the Merlins. Well, as luck would have it....I have lost one of my aids. They (Phonak) were going on 10 years old so maybe it’s time to upgrade those. However, my insurance plan will only pay $1200 towards new hearing aids. The Phenol, at least 10 years ago, were quite pricey. Any thoughts from this sage group?

FWIW, many of the Medicare advantage plans do have a hearing aid benefit. I have such a plan (Devoted Core) that pays for the audiology test and those doctors that are in plan work with an outfit called Truhearing who provide the HA's. They have a 2 tier deductible that has a $399 co-pay for standard and $699 for premium models. Most of the major brands are available such as Widex, Starkey. Oticon, resound, Phonak and Signia. Don't have all details but am starting my research
