I have not been kind to my hearing over the years, and it's caught up with me. My family and students are patient with me, but I can tell they're tired of having to repeat everything for me.. Often I have to guess at what's being said. Although unintentional, I know it's my lifetime of carelessness that has lead to my moderate hearing loss and tinnitus.
So I'm about ready to bite the bullet and get a pair hearing aids.. The timing seems good as the hearing aid market has recently had a shakeup: They can now be sold over the counter, and prices have dropped significantly just this year. I'm not sure what I want as I've never had these, but I'm looking seriously at "Audicus: Spirit" bluetooth hearing aids. They're about 1600.00/ pair, and have the features I think I'd use (particularly blue tooth connectivity), and they're rechargeable. Link:

Anyone have good/ bad experience with hearing aids? Do's? Don'ts?.. I tried to get into my local Costco for a hearing test but they're booked out for several months.. I took a few online hearing tests and they all indicate moderate hearing loss. I have no issue at all wearing hearing aids (I understand some people won't go there.. ego? vanity? I don't know, but I'm actually eager to get mine). I'm sick of missing out on what's being said.. it's even gotten difficult to watch TV as I'm missing a bunch of dialog..
Anyway, before I plunk down the money, I thought I'd ask here, as most of us are gentlemen of a certain age, who might have some insights as to how I may go about fixing this problem.
Thanks guys-
