My dad asked me to help him his hearing aid that cost him over $ 5000. The end part broke of and got stuck in his ear. It's out of warranty. Retrieved part from ear and see the tiny little flimsy wires had snapped off in the socket behind the ear bud mounts. Can't believe how expensive such a cheaply made little thing is. Some ones making a killing out of them. Anyway looking for an alternative and recommendations from those hard of hearing folk out there ?
