Hearing Aids: Cheap Can Be Better
Do you know what is kind of funny? My partner J.J.’s grandmother, aged 92, recently spent $3,000.00 on supposedly high quality hearing aids which have worked poorly for her.
That’s not funny.
That’s quite sad.
What do you think I am, a monster?
What is amazing, not sad, and kind of funny, is that grandma more recently purchased some $25.00 cheap-shit ear piece that is peddled on T.V. infomercials as an aid for hard-of -hearing television viewers to wear when they don’t want to bother other people in the room by cranking up the volume. The batteries for it cost a dollar for two at the neighbourhood Dollarama.
Guess who can hear as clear as a bell?
Grandma Rea, that’s who.
Pronounced Rae.
And she can hear you now, so don’t mess it up.
Tell me if you ever see that infomercial. The one where the old lady is wearing the very obvious, but very stylish, hip, bluetooth-looking ear piece. She eavesdrops on other people’s conversations across the city park. She listens to television sets set at a whisper. She spies on her husband and doesn’t have to rely on lip-reading.
That commercial.
Please let me know the name of that product. We can all afford that product. So if hearing loss is happening to you, try this product first before investing thousands of dollars like Rea and her buddies.
Your kids want that money.
Or it is their money, because you don’t have any.
Speaking of kids; keep this hearing assistive device away from the grandchildren. And parabolic sound enhancers, parabolic dishes, sold in the toy store as an aid for listening to the sounds of nature, by which the advertser means birds.
It doesn’t matter what the advertiser means.
The advertiser is an idiot.
What do you think that children will listen to with any kind of sound amplifier?
That’s right.
Other people’s conversations.
LIke their parents.
And not just their parents’ conversations.
Oh no.
OH NO!
That’s right, music lovers. Those little darlings will listen in on their parents, and their grandparents, more amorous moments. And Lucie, you will have some ’splainin’ to do, if you haven’t got around to the birds and the bees already.
Unless there is nothing to tell.
Because there was nothing to hear.
We’ll do a post on the pros and cons of Viagara and Cialis etc. later on.
My friend died of a massive heart attack using Viagara. He took two hits and went dancing at a night club. The guy was 60, going on 50. Handsome, youthful looking and acting, and wham. Dead as a post.

Back to cheap hearing aids that work. I will find the name and post it here. Same Bat Time, same Bat Channel.
