I buy my hearing aids from a specialized supplier. In addition to the devices I get insurance, three years of free batteries and free appointments. I am picky about what I hear, so I spend a lot of time with him fine tuning the aids -- and there is an incredible amount of tuning that can be done. He also threw in a free custom ear mold. This is all rolled in to the price I pay. I could get the same hearing aids cheaper at COSCO, but without the service. Is it worth it? That is up to you.

Judges should not be forced to be politicians. If judges were appointed rather than elected they would be less influenced by big money and the judicial system would be more fair.
