I never understood the whole hearing aid fiasco and yes I believe it's rife with salesmen that take advantage of the elderly (just like that TV ad where the man says "Three thousand, four thousand, FIVE THOUSAND, WHATEVER THEY CAN GET!"
My deceased parents fell for that game and always had problems with their $5k hearing aids after the sale.
I am not saying there is no need for hearing aids as I am hard of hearing myself and am tempted to try one of those that have appeared on the market for some years now. I will not, however, spend what my parents did.
Rant over. I hope anyone purchasing them has good luck and is not taken over the coals...
