I bought this product for my wife. She is 34 and began loosing her hearing over the last few years. With no medical reason for the hearing lost and not knowing how to stop it, she was getting frustrated with not hearing normal conversation out of one of her ears. She always had ringing and buzzing. I took her to the ENT doctor and she saw the audiologist. We were going to get the hearing aid through them. the price was 1800.00 for the basic one. Our insurance would only cover 1250.00 and we would still be out of pocket for the rest. After I saw this, I call my insurance company to see if they would cover it and they said that they would cover the entire cost up to 1250.00. it was the best move we made. She placed it in her ear and her smile said it all. She was so happy that she was able to hear and the TV dose not have to be loud any more. Thank God for that. She is so ecstatic and was pleased that she was able to use the phone in that ear and able to hear everything. Great product for a great price. Thanks to Wal-Mart for carrying it and thanks to the company Simplicity for such a great product. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
