They are desperate to pretend the country is being run well and distract from the obvious train wreck that we are currently on.

Not being snarky, just don't understand the claim that hearing aids were only available through doctors and hearing aid companies.

There are, and have been for a long time, hearing aids available online. Brands like Lexie, and Nano, and many others. I bought the pair I'm using now in May of this year. They work as good or better than the multi-thousand dollar set I tried some years back. Cost for the rechargeable MDHearing Aids pair was $300 - that price included two charging docks, extra tubes and tips, and other goodies. Could have bought a pair of their Bluetooth model for $700.

So what is the hullaballoo anyway?

Maybe Miracle Ear, Costco, and other brands not available OTC now have to offer them without all the tests, etc.?

BTW a friend who spent more than $6,000 for his Miracle Ear units tried mine. Said they seemed as good as his.
