Mine are too; EXCEPT, that I didn't opt to buy that little gizmo at the time of purchase. Thanks for mentioning that. When we get back to Kalispell in May, I'm gonna' check on it. Our friend, Elder Markley, wore one, now that I think about it.cwade wrote:Another vote for Costco, I got a pair in March, have had a hearing loss all my life, needed new aids.
mine are bluetooth enabled, which is great as you can stream from say your television or your cell phone directly into your aids. I can watch TV at home and hear it perfectly, without the sound even being on. Or I can stream music from my iphone directly to my aids.
I've always had the old analog aids as I wanted to be able to control it myself, but I'm glad I finally made the leap.

I'll definitely be looking into DARS when my current hearing aids expire....assuming that I haven't heard everything by then.

I think you should start with your doctor and get a referral for a professional test. Something you can take with you to order to the exact specifications.
I wish you all the best!The high price of hearing aids really makes me angry. I can't imagine that they have any technology that justifies that kind of price. IMO the iPhone is thousands of times more complex than the electronics in a hearing aid. I think that companies jack the price up knowing that insurance companies will pick up some of the bill.
Medicare does not cover hearing aids; subsequently, our supplemental insurance does not cover hearing aids. It is an out of pocket expense.....or huh?

Re: Hearing Aids - take me to school, please.
People with hearing loss sometime tend to talk louder than they realize. We had Communion in church today. After we had been served and returned to our pew, I "whispered" to my wife that we should get some of that bread. She told me to shut up, everybody in church could hear me. 
It was good bread.

Mine ($2k) came from Costco....in Kalispell, MT at a considerable savings over the 'hearing aid stores' and with a 3 year guarantee. Not all Costco's have hearing aid centers, check 'em out.
