		<description><![CDATA[Great article!  Me, I just keep wishing the technology would improve for hearing aids, like CI&#039;s have.  I have hearing loss just on the cusp of profound and wear an analog aid.  

In fact, I&#039;ve worn digitals only to freak out when I can&#039;t hear the environmental sounds that digitals often screen out when voices are in the environment.  That was not normal for me, so I went back to analog&#039;s.  Prefer that I do my own filtering, not the aid.  Too bad aid technology is not as intuitive in the way the mind hears.

Indeed hearing aids have become pricier than ever, but has the technology really advanced to make aids worth the price?  Don&#039;t think so.  It&#039;s analogous to the bank teller telling me that an endorsed check is gonna take ten days, and I wink, oh, yeah, sure, in this day and age of computers.  Uh-huh...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What a thought provoking article.  It seems that one needs a degree in Audiology to keep abreast of all the latest bells and whistles (features) offered by the hearing aid manufacturers.  Even those who are techno geeks (not a negative term) might have a hard time sorting through what specific features might be best suited for their particular hearing loss.  Just think how daunting it is for us regular folks!!  Also, it seems there is a trade off for each beneficial feature.  You are forced to give up something in order to gain benefit in another area.  This one fact might be why I can&#039;t seem to hone in on a good setting, making hearing aids worth their high price???  I will keep trying!!]]></description>
