I am fortunate that I do not need mine when working, just for conversation.
I am curious to see if I can hear the summer sounds of crickets and locust.
During my research, I read about one research that was done, and it stated that, on the average, each hearing aid required $25.00 for research and development and app. $250.00 for manufacture and the markup of $3-6K was Profit!
