But, it'd be a helluva thing to do for a friend who needed it, no?

Yes it is, but not as easy as it sounds, nor are the nightmares that follow.


The bad news is I have to replace one of my hearing aids.
The good news is it only cost $50 more than in 2013.
The bad news is Medicare will no longer pay part.

Guess that would be a shit sandwich right there.

Shouldn't that tech be getting cheaper?

Silly bunny, better tech doesn't make shit cheaper, it makes profits larger, golden parachutes fluffier, and Wall Street happier.
What boggles my mind is when they start throwing around numbers in the $4 and $5 thousand range. 36 years experience has shown 3 to 5 years is the lifespan and very few health Insurance companies will cover them. I suspect there are a lot of poor people saying, "What?".

Seems like you could take a vacation in India buy your hearing aide there and come out ahead.
