 I agree and let us remember aids only amplify sound. SOme have so
called 'tone' distinguisher filters but if you don't have tone
receptor cells (caled hair cells though they're not hair but look the
sampe of hairs)- nothing is going to enable you to comprehend voices
so you'd just be wasting money getting a more powerful aid... all it
would do is make noise louder (as it did , for me.)


Any news on HA's and batteries being covered by medical insurance yet? I'm just
curious? Thanks.
