“My husband was tested for hearing loss here, "for free." The person testing him claimed to have excellent diction. I watched her mouth carefully and felt she was not pronouncing her b's and d's very clearly, as well as f's and s's. She then told us that my husband had considerable hearing loss and showed us the chart she had scribbled. She said he would greatly benefit from a hearing aid that cost a few thousand dollars, but that we could have it financed. We had a one week trial for it, after which we could return it. My husband noticed no difference in hearing when he was wearing it and it annoyed him in his ear, causing constant itching. After 3 days we returned it and were told that the reason he could not hear better was because he was not used to it. We returned it anyway and found that we had to pay a few hundred dollars for the hearing test! We showed the scribbled paper to our family physician who said that my husband's hearing loss was not considerable and he was not necessarily a hearing aid candidate yet. ”
