I have Miracle Ear. On "special" they cost me $2000. They can be programmed like my old stereo equalizer, 10 different frequencies. I can get free checkups, auditory evaluations, several times a year for life. Batteries free for the first 3 years but if you ask nicely they may slip you a box.
I don't wear them all the time but I need them for watching TV. If I don't wear them I hear too much mumbling. If I am not wearing them my wife gets mad because I miss out on her constructive criticism.
