Got my 1st pair in 2004. ACC coughed up because 12.7% loss was work related, the other 7% was age related. 2014 and I went to look at replacement aids. Crusher Collins had changed the rules and Acc would only pay for the percentage caused by work. (fair enuf I suppose). So it was cap in hand to the credit union, hearing loss now 27%. Wolfe hearing was way cheaper than Bay Audisomethingorother.
The pair I have now are far better than the 1st pair, if only I would wear them.
They don't like dust or water. Batteries seem to barely last 5 minutes. I find in the heat they make my ears sweat. These were over 4G. I think I don't need them that much, until I put them in then I notice how much difference they make. They are programmed to pick up the pitches that my natural hearing has lost. I should be wearing them at work but feel a bit self conscious with them in. With grey hair and hearing aids, I feel I am not 'measuring up' compared to the younger gungho set. Have worn them a few times and to be honest, no one has even noticed them.
