Title: Beltone, anyone?
Post by: leapyrtwins on October 04, 2007, 09:03:30 pm

Tonight while I was watching the "News with Charles Gibson" I saw a commercial for Beltone.  They were advertising the "world's smallest hearing aide" and said that people with hearing issues could contact them via a toll-free number or their website if they were interested in being part of a free trial.

I haven't had time to look into this, but was wondering if anyone else has.

Jan, I went to Beltone's site.  They don't show an instrument for single sided hearing loss.

Interesting.  I rarely watch TV, unless it's something on Disney with the kids, but I'll have to make it a point to watch "Charles" again and see if I can write down the toll free number.

WOW, Beltone is a blast from the past.  My dad worked for Beltone and retired in 1974, due to a heart attach.  He did hearing aid repairs at home until I got married in 1984.  He was an amazing man and I wish he was still here so he could give us some advice on this.  He past away in 1993.  I miss him.
