@julieo4 So true about insurance coverage. Sadly, statistics from other countries that have insurance coverage, the acceptance rate is not much better than in the US. I think its because hearing aids do not solve the real problem, especially in background noise situations when we need to hear as best as possible. Also, unlike a typical electronic device where the price comes down after the engineering costs are recovered, we are not usually offered the older technology. In my mind, this is another criminal act that most audiologists perform. We are typically not offered an unbundled package either.
