What kind do you have and were they expensive? I feel like my hearing is deteriorating, but I had a hearing test a couple of years ago, and they said I was OK. I really have trouble hearing people on the phone and in conversations sometimes, though.

I’ve been told that hearing aids have a lot of annoying buzzes and other sounds. Is that the case?

The brand name of my hearing aids is “Zon”, I’m well pleased with them. No annoying noises. Mine give a quiet beep, sort of a warning that the battery is almost dead, about 20-30 minutes later it beeps again and it is dead.

I pay a little under $4 per 8 pack of batteries and one battery lasts about 7-8 days,an 8 pack lasting a little more than a month. The only times I remove them is to shower or sleep or while mowing, weed eating etc.

The set I have, cost $5,000 and I consider them well worth it. I agree with others who have said that they are selling for a whole lot more than they cost to manufacture and could be cheaper, somewhere in the chain, someone is making a tremendous profit.

By the way, they are almost invisible to the casual observer, if that is a concern. It’s not to me.
