Even SUPERMAN has some flaws. He may be who he is, but even him is not perfect.

In my youth, I did a lot of shooting without ear plugs.
In this crowd, one of the jokes was to shoot 44 magnums in each other ears, when caught by surprise.
What you do today, will repercute in the future.

My hearing was good until five years ago. Not perfect, but good.
It went downhill progressively without many perceivebable(sp) incidents.
I laughed at friends my age, 68, when they had to close caption programs.
Even thought I'm blessed with a wife that whispers when she talks, I still could hear her.
Lately I could hear, but not understand every word. Specially the last word. She's a specialist at that. Has always been. Love is blind and maybe deaf too.

Enough rambling. Even if I like to ramble. Hehe.

I buy my vaping supplies, and many other things, from a company in China named Fasttech, maybe some of you are familiar with the name. They have become a monstrous empire in a three year span.
I browse the "sale" section every time I visit. Mainly looking for vaping stuff for cheap.
So I see this hearing aid in sale, at the ridiculous price of 8.92US.

I laugh and wonder why my mother in law pays 1500US for hers and this thing is so cheap. It most be a sham. However, it may work too.
I ordered. I have ordered way more crazy things from them than this.
BTW, I was close captioning too. Don't tell anyone, please.

To make a super long story short. It works. Like a charm.
Like in no more close caption TV for me. Uses AG 13s (LR44) batteries.
There are no cheaper button batteries than those.
They maybe 30 or 40 cents retail. I can always import them for less than 10 cents In ten packs, if they are expensive here.
My mother in law's are 3.85 per. And she runs out every ten seconds.

Bottom line. I'm happy. And I can hear again. If you read to this point, I admire you. Thank you for reading.
