I have 50% hearing loss per my Eye, Ears nose and Throat Dr. Byron Mullins in Irving, tx. I do agree with that as I really have a hard time hearing. Their hearing aid run form 4 to 7k. My wife had Costco for 1799. I have worn them before and they are okay but might not correct my significant hearing loss. My wife paid 6k before Medicare and insurance covered 5k of that. I do wear those now but they are not much help. I have a consultation Thursday. Her expensive hearing aids were not that good because she did not appear to be able to hear me well and I had to get close to her and raise my voice. I have to have people repeat things to me now. On the hearing test I really had trouble recognizing specific words. That happen watching TV now.
