My Personal Faith

Faith
is spending $2,500
on new hearing aids
(actually one hearing aid and one crossover in the right ear
that transmits the sound to the left ear)
when you have Stage 4 Breast Cancer
in your breast, bones, and cervix.
(She got 95% of the cancer when she did a hysterectomy
but she couldn't get it all.)

These hearing aids have rechargeable batteries;
so you just plug them in every night
with your iPhone, iPad, vacuum.
Trouble is our house was built
 before all these things that need to be charged.
We're outlet shy,
especially when the plugs
 in the bathrooms don't work.

hj That's about what I paid for Costco's best hearing aids. Of course I don't knows if I will live long enough to get my money's worth out of them, but so far they've been worth it. ld

Everyday you can hear makes it worth it, doesn't it? That's what the salesman told me. Are yours rechargeable?

Ours aren't rechargeable. About ever other year Costco hearing aids are rechargeable and every other year they are not, depending on who gets their contract. Do you like the rechargeable ones better?

My rechargeables worked for one day. We haven't been able to get them to charge since so the jury is still out. We don't know if it is the charger or the hearing aid or transmitter. How do you know if you are getting what you paid for or if it someone's reject????
