And not too many people know that it is very easy to do an online hearing test and have the results within couple of minutes.

@glanmitchenson, your post was probably meant conciliatory and it is appreciated, however to what extent falling on deaf ears.😉  When I got my hearing aids, I went on a similar tirade, as above, and the audiologist tried to console with a comment, "Well, you have glasses you don't feel that way about glasses. Lots of  children get glasses".  But it is not a mathmatically supportable position.  A high percentage of children, I have no idea what percentage, get glasses.  A far lower percentage of children, again I am ignorant to the actual percentage, get hearing aids. 


but thank you.
