You ever see an insurance plan that covers hearing aides?
I need a pair, and looked into it. When I brought up insurance coverage, the doctor basically laughed, and said 'We'll see of yours has hearing aide coverage, but I doubt it.' Sure enough, nope. Since then, I've talked to many others, and found no one with hearing aide coverage.
And a sub $1000 one from Amazon does not provide enough power for my level of hearing loss in one ear. Classified as 'profound' Just upping the power would result in feedback. The expensive ones have programmable digital processors that amplify different levels at different frequencies. Cheap ones have nothing like that, just a mic, amp, and speaker.
