Did the walk around the store thing ---- totally useless.
Bought the aids because the alternative is being isolated and depressed.
3 years almost 4 years later. My life is much, much better.
The aids make my itchy ears worse and there are times when I want to rip them out of ears and throw them across the room but consider the isolation you are/may experience.
My friend, buy the aids and wear them and enjoy your life.
