My feelings and thinking where it comes to hearing aids

First off hearing aids is not only an important health device but it is also a very important personal device. We should think about out health first foremost. Then we have to be concerned with what we can afford to pay for the aids we need. If you are a Vet then I say try your best to get into the VA system because it will save you a lot of money. Always understand that aids will never give you you full hearing back, it just will not happen, maybe in the future that will figure out how to complete to restore our hearing. Also be welling to get what ever extras you need with your aids to give you the best hearing as possible. And last forget about what others think. I say you should never care about what others think. This is about you and about you being able to enjoy your life to the fullest possible. Yes I know sticker shock is real when it comes to hearing aids, it is also true for any think that has to do with health. Glasses are not cheap nor are they something we can hide unless we go with contacts, but most time contacts are not as good as glasses, and the same is true for hearing aids CIC aids are not as good for most of us as BTE or ITE aids that are larger and can been seen. I do believe in the streamers or connect line extras that go with aids. I have not tried aids that connect directly to the Iphone but I have researched them and I know they consume the battery much faster and also you still have to handle the phone to take a call due to there not being a mic in the aids, maybe that will change in the future. With my streamer I can be completely hands free, and the police in my area will not give me trouble using my phone. The bottom line is that hearing aids are very important if you have a hearing loss bad enough that you need aids. It can mean you can not job so your career could be taken from you. I for one waited to long to get aids and my hearing got to the point that I could not understand speech to the point that it caused me to be a very bad speller and also I made lots of mistakes when dealing with my customers and co-works and even my family and friends.

Please think about this when you know you need aids. And before you up in with both feet do your research and learn as much as you can about hearing aids, the extras and learn as much as you can about your hearing loss. Be will to get what you really need, but understand what you really need and not to much more that you need and never except less than you need.

This needs to be said.

I am going to say something that some are going to hate me for say, but the USA in a lot a ways is at fault for what has happened in the Middle East. Why? Because we have forced our ways and our beliefs on other countries and other religions. We also have Politicians that on thing about themselves and do not care about the ones that vote for them. Why? This country has forgotten all about why this country was built upon and why we battled with England. But over the years this country has forgotten the real reason we are here.

I also have to say that we spend way to much time and money trying to be the worlds ruler and savor and we spend to little time and money taking care of our own. Our Politicians are so worried about having as much power as possible and trying to build as much money for themselves and are not even trying to work for the people that put them there. The ones that we put in congress no longer care enough about us to even protect us. We have a President that is trying to give away this country to a bunch of illegal immigrants even hen most of the people of this country has said they do not want it to happen. But he keeps pushing for it. Also when it comes to the battles that are going on in the Middle East he keeps do as little as possible. He keeps going pushing what he wants and not listening to the people of this country. He also never seems to listen to the Military leaders. He seems to think he is a king and does not have to be accountable to anyone or any thing much less the Constitution of the USA.

The courts of this country has gotten to the point that they could careless about what is right or wrong. I have seen myself that lawyers for both sides of the case will as much as stand up and lie to improve their view and to win the case. Oh they do not out right lie they do it by very smooth legal moves that covers up evidence. Whither you want to believe it are not for the most all of the government in this country is corrupt. That means federal, state, and local government.
