Beware hearing aid salesmen in labcoats!!! Yup!!! You did't even know the questions let alone the answers. I'm tired of watching 80% of you grossly misfit hearing aids. It is simply unethical and sad that you untrained, unqualified salesmen are legally allowed to affect someone's hearing...

Actually, if you could "think" your way above functional illiteracy, you wouldn't be in this state of oblivion to begin with. Stop blogging... start studying. I feel badly for people trusting you with their hearing healthcare needs. I'm outta here!

There you go again… blogging about nothing when you should be spending that time with your nose buried in textbooks. Don’t pretend to give advice to persons with hearing impairment when you don’t know the difference between critical bands and frequency bands. I've been running ANSI an insitu...

Beltone is generally staffed by salesmen rather than audiologists Currently in 2013, Siemens, Starkey and Phonak consistently manufacturer the best aids on the market. Each manufacturer has it's own strengths and weaknesses. Beltone and Miracle Ear aren't even in the top 10. It is very rare...
