Good Tech

The VA gave me an "exam" via Skype, then a pair of $5 K Oticons with a succession of different earpieces.
I heard better without them.
They never offered any help with the tinnitus I have experienced since we provided security for a 175 artillery battery that fired non-stop for over a week.
And that was about the best experience I had with the VA.

The Veteran's Administration has contracts in place with six major hearing aid manufacturers - GN ReSound, Oticon, Phonak, Siemens (Signia), Starkey, and Widex. The VA uses the manufacturer's premium levels of technology-the same hearing aids that sell for the highest prices in the private sector.

Nice!

Bummer. Mine sync with my smart phone so I can turn on white noise to drown the tinnitus.
