| #4 Just bought new hearing aids for about $52 each. They crush the $1500 Starkey I was using before. I'll buy some spares at this price. Who cares if they only last a couple years? |

| #1 Give it time. Cochlear implants have worked well for several years. This will be tried in other countries even when failure here. Money to be made will breathe life into this again and again. A Democrat congress person will invest if money is to be made. Republicans also will not miss out on the gravy train offered. Solar, wind and pharma on and on it goes. Go electric push now as big pharma grows less lucrative. |
