[QUOTE="x1heavy, post: 2552324, member: 97095"] I do not wear much hearing aids anymore, There is a prescription pair thats been waiting payment to come home soon. Buried in surgery. I literally use a 20 dollar walmart voice booster that is generic. And happens to be in my hearing range anyway. I lost everything above 5000 hertz anyway on the recent audiogram at my age. The closer to very low you can go I still have natural hearing equal to a hearing person or a little better. What that means is I dont hear birds. But I dont need to know that they are out there on the feeder pile. Its a form of quiet. I spent a life time dealing with big old rigs and massive engines fighting nature, weather and mountains.
