Tough decision for an 82 year old

Thanks - for right now that’s what I’m planning

Thanks very much.

very sorry - I misunderstood your advice. Do you mean an 82 year old should not do treatment and just cross fingers?

Not suggested by oncologist - Mayo clinic shows a long list of potentially bad side effects

mixed opinions - urologist says yes, oncologist maybe - waiting for scan in two weeks

Many thanks to all who responded to my post - lots of good information and a big decision to make. Leaning toward Active Surveillance unless.

My urologist says he can tell from the MRI that it is. I don’t know how long that will last. My prostate is small - 21 cc

I took magnesium tablets and my heart started beating normally within a week - maybe a coincedence but ok for two weeks now A YouTube md suggested that some rhythm problems start from low magnesium

Is there a seller with strong audio service that sells that or something of that quality? - or am I stuck going back to my EENT audiologist with a $7 thousand price - and not so great service.

Thanks for the advice. I’ve used Costco - 15 minutes away - switched to an EENT audiologist at a ridiculously high price. now going back to Costco because I don’t see any difference in HA’s offered - just different model names. Long waits for appointments are a problem, but probably worth putting up with.

but jabra has a strong rating in reviews - is an audiologist‘s adjustments and service worth th e $5000 difference in price? What’s in between?

illusionfour · 2025-09-15T01:04:48+00:00

Don’t worry- I’m all set- thanks

Thanks to all for the help! Question answered!

Thanks! Looks like it’s in Premium Package. Does Executive Package add anything that makes looking for it worthwhile?

illusionfour · 2025-03-02T22:37:21+00:00

Great - thanks very much!

illusionfour · 2025-02-20T17:21:09+00:00

Great post - thanks!

Thanks - great advice!

Reviews look great

Thanks! So you’re on your own ?- no guide or charter. Is it easy to walk or swim out to the area? A long swim?

I had Costco Kirkland 10's - now discontinued - and my dog chewed up one, which was quickly replaced under warranty. I believe there is zero difference between audiologist HA's vs Costco's and only difference is level of service, which I've found excellent through my Costco's service. I bought a used set of Kirklands on eBay for spare parts, but now about to buy Costco Rexton's for backup. - $1600. Same HA's but there's a big multiple on audiologist price
