I saw the post about Dr Jesus, the ear doctor, but haven't found any info about hearing aids. Too many years of loud noises have taken their toll on my ears and I need to do something about it. Went to the hearing aid place in Phoenix. All went well until they told me the price. WOW! Don't need hearing aids that bad! Anybody got any suggestions?

That explains a lot about you, Jerry. Perhaps you should have stopped drilling BEFORE you hit brain matter!! :lol:


Landshark -- Also note that Ric on this forum has a hearing aid business with his wife. I know they have a store in Casa Grande. You might want to shoot him a PM and ask him about it. Don't know anything about prices and such, but talk to Ric, one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.

Thanks Jerry! Never thought to look on ebay. This just might be a solution. I'm feeling real fortunate that I don't need any dental work done!

Landshark I am available and confident in my ability,hell the mirror was the only hard part! On a side note if every doctor or dentist I've run into that just knew he could do my job with ease gave me 100 bucks I'd be a rich man!

I have had hearing aids for years and would not even consider purchase anywhere but an audioaulogist. Fit is so critical that even a little tightness will cause severe pain. They are also programable but you can not do it. It takes special stuff and a computer program.
NO NO NO NOT ANYWAY!
As said Rick is here in Casa Grande and is a very honest guy. I have basic digital aids that show a little and they are great. I believe I paid about $ 1000.00 ea and if you are Medic Aid they have a $ 500.00 refund on purchase. Dont get carried away with all the bells and whistles. Basic aids with volume controll.

Got an appointment with Ric tomorrow. Thanks for the advise Bill.
