I go to get fitted for hearing aids Tuesday -

7. Well, the process went like this -

first, a check to insure that I didn't have damage to the ear drum or middle ear, then some tests of my hearing. There was the usual test with tones at different frequencies, then a check of my ability to understand words. ( I had to repeat the word that I heard.)

Then we reviewed the test results with my husband and there was a repeat of the word testing!

Clearly a lot of this was designed not just to test my hearing, but to impress on my husband and myself the extent of the hearing loss.

I did much better with some sample hearing aids.

Then came the shocker - $5400for a pair of hearing aids! I think I'll get them,but also some insurance on them as well!

I was very surprised at how tiny these hearing aids are.
