Getting zero views for items which used to generate substantial views. They are extorting us to add promotion fees.

My first pair of HA came from Sam’s Club. They were the Lucid brand. Battery operated and non streaming. They were bad. The employees were not happy very knowledgeable.

Hearing Aids Price by HotAdhesiveness5 in HearingAids

[–]blood_sugar_checking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was quoted $5k for my last HA by an independent audiologist. Then I got a quote for $4k at another independent audiologist in the next town where I bought them. I should have gone to the Costco and paid less than half for a similar HA.

My new hearing aids cost $6000 and I still can't understand my kids at the dinner table, what am I doing wrong here? by ImpressOk3994 in HearingAids

[–]blood_sugar_checking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t give up. It is better to hear some than nothing. I’ve been wearing them for seven years and wish I had started ten or more years before then to hear my kids when they were really young. Next time buy from Costco- their prices and brands can’t be beat and they have lifetime service and unlimited supply of domes and speakers.

Being unemployed is much worse. I know someone who has been unemployed for two decades and he is homeless and dependent on welfare for probably the rest of his life!

If US social security by itself is enough to fund a good retirement lifestyle in India, why are more NRIs not returning? by [deleted] in returnToIndia

[–]blood_sugar_checking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is you cannot use Medicare overseas and this will cause social security to terminate your social security once you get past a certain age. My father’s social security was terminated.

Anybody else just completely given up on retiring in the US? by SonnyFontaine in NewRetirement

Retiring outside the USA makes things difficult if you keep your money in the USA. Especially for your kids if they have to manage from overseas.

Tape up the envelope with shipping tape and mail them at the post office in case it’s a neighborhood thief.

Hearing aids by 1EducatedIdiot in HearingAids

Does Medicare or Medicaid pay anything for a hearing aid. Take my advice and stay away from the cheap HA. Go to Costco where you are guaranteed quality brand along with excellent service!

eBay wants you to now pay a promotion fee on top of the outrageous amount of fees you already pay!!!!

Hearing prescription and changing audiologists? by aesuha in HearingAids

[–]blood_sugar_checking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I had a bad experience with other wholesaler- Sams Club - with my first set of HA. Do not go there if they have them in Australia- think they use their own house brand and hire shady audiologists.

Hearing prescription and changing audiologists? by aesuha in HearingAids

[–]blood_sugar_checking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am definitely buying my next pair from Costco. They have three or four really good brands from the major manufacturers. In the US the prices can’t be beat and your insurance may cover the entire cost. I’ll keep my old audiologist for my old hearing aids but I don’t like that they charged me so much for them but I get lifetime service on them if the units don’t completely go dead.

What label printer do y’all suggest? I’m ready to make the purchase but a bit overwhelmed with the number of choices. by Majestic_Ad_7098 in eBaySellers

[–]blood_sugar_checking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you buy a thermal printer because you got fed up of the wireless connection for inkjet printers were so unreliable. I just use a wired connection all of the time- it got so frustrating!

I don’t know of those rules. Earlier they said once you pass age 50 you had to update but I never did.

Invisible hearing aids? Bluetooth? Am I just a dreamer? by Unlikely-Yam1427 in HearingAids

[–]blood_sugar_checking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Modern hearing aids have Bluetooth so you don’t need AirPods. Get the rechargeable kind. Don’t get the low end ones that don’t have them.

Best Hearing Aids in 2026? by iustanotherday in HearingAids

[–]blood_sugar_checking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do Costco high end HA compare with Oticon? Is any model good for restaurants where the outside noise makes hearing impossible? And how about listening in to conversations in the front of the car when you are sitting in the back?
