They can fine tune them to your specific need and they help although sometimes in crowded places…for example a busy store they can be a pain. I just turn mine down or take them out then.

As if there wasn’t enough reason to watch your weight, research suggests that unhealthy BMI may contribute to age-related hearing loss.

Good Hearing aids run 995 to 3K each… they are directional – they can be worn on your head and are nearly invisible… a Bose large to be worn 18/7… hearing aids run on a battery usually 10 days.. a hearing aid “thinks” tracking speech in real time… not a recording. Many aids talk to each other… supporting better stereo as pairs to improve your signal to noise ratio. Bose is great stuff… love my CD player and home stereo. Heard the guitar system. Its not the same job as a hearing aid.

When it comes to getting a new startup off the ground, it’s important to get the word out. Whether by email, Twitter, social networking, launch events or any other number of methods, you’ll want to let people know that there’s a new kid on the block, but there’s one thing you want to avoid – getting called out as a spammer. Sponsor Looking through the feeds this morning, there was a post that immediately stood out – VC Jason Mendelson writing on “Why AtomicPR Sucks Ass. And How They Are Breaking the Law, Too.” Ouch. Mendelson’s complaint pertains to the “carpet bombing strategies” he says he’s seeing more and more of from PR firms. While hiring a PR firm to get the word out can be an important next step for a startup, it’s apparent that it cannot be the final step. If all that PR firm is doing is spreading the word, indiscriminately and without regard for who might actually be interested in hearing about your startup, then it may hurt, not help, your brand. As Mendelson writes, when…

vision loss is so common with ageing. people can be born with both vision and hearing misfunction but vision is usually picked up earlier in children.
Hearing loss through occupational damage is now well addressed and a company that did things that caused it would be in serious trouble. However age related hearing is just a fact of life.Hearing aids are usually a lot more obvious than contact lenses.

I wear Siemens Reflex DSPs, from the NHS, just like Kellie’s. OK, so they are a bit larger than my old HAs, but I can hear better with these than I’ve ever heard in my life. Thanks you Siemens!

You shouldn't have a problem passing the test.
Even if you were completely deaf in one ear, you could pass.
If you can hear the doctor speaking to you at 6 feet, with your back turned, using BOTH ears, you will pass.
This is the primary test for the FAA Class 1 Medical Certificate. (and 2&3 as well)
If you fail the test, you can elect to have an audiometric test done.
Here are the actual requirements:
"Demonstrate hearing of an average conversational voice in a quiet room, using both ears at 6 feet, with the back turned to the examiner OR pass one of the audiometric tests below :
Audiometric speech discrimination test: (Score at least 70% discrimination in one ear) or:
Pure tone audiometric test: Unaided, with thresholds no worse than:
500Hz 1,000Hz 2,000Hz 3,000Hz
Better Ear 35Db 30Db 30Db 40Db
Worst Ear 35Db 50Db 50Db 60Db"
