I have used two sets of Costco hearing aids. I have also used about a dozen over the counter hearing aids. None have worked for me. The Costco sets cost less than $2k. Some folks say they work. Maybe that is a good choice for you.

I appreciate the offer. I don't know what you could do, tho. I am having some difficulty with the implementation.

Thought I had posted this before, but it is not here. I might not have pushed the post reply button. If I somehow violated a rule, I apologize. I have tried 3 Costco hearing aids. They worked no better for me than the 4 or 5 (or more) over the counter aids I have tried. I think the problem...

I have used 3 sets from Costco. They work for me as well as the over the counter type. I have used probably 4 or 5 (or more) of the over the counter types. The problem seems to be that (at least in Costco) they test for only up to about 8 kilohertz. Normal hearing goes well beyond that. I...

I always look for the least expensive option for what I do. I have found Photoshop Elements adequate for what I do. That, coupled with an Epson 8500, produces pictures that suit my purposes.

Spent 4 years in the Navy. Spent most of my time on a minesweeper. One time we were in an exercise off Corrigedor (sp?), the scene of some pretty wild stories in WWII. We were sweeping dummy mines, planted for the exercise. We cut one loose that was covered with barnacles. All those that...

I am with you. My earlier comment (using an apostrophe for plurals) caught my attention and I missed the other. My English teacher is probably rolling over in her grave.

Did not think of that. Just uninstalled it.

Added that. Will see if it works.

I use Firefox, with an ad blocker. That does not stop the McAfee popup. Maybe I need to use a different one?

Two things bug me on line: only two choices given for some ads--notify me later or ignore. I quit McAfee a while back for another antivirus program. I still get notices to renew or accept the risk. Another is for other choices, to buy or to notify me later. Never a third choice to quit...

I just received a text message that something could not be delivered because of an inadequate address. They wanted me to fill out a bunch of personal information. They quoted a tracking number. I put that tracking number into the post office tracking site and the results came back as an invalid...

I would favor a law which defined a stop sign as a "yield" sign for all vehicles. This city has many 4-way stops that often do not have other vehicles present. My gas mileage has suffered big time (about 30%) since moving here. Slowing down is often adequate.

Near as i can figure, the drop is due to the vastly increased number of stop signs and lights here. The town is very hilly, but we were in the Arizona mountains, living in a small town. When we get away from the city, the mileage goes back to about what it was before.

Just moved across the country. My truck, a 2020 Tacoma, got 22 mpg originally. Now it gets about 18 mpg. The wife's car, a 2016 RAV4, got 31 mpg before; now about 23. I had several cars, all stick shifts, that got 45 to 50 mpg. One got 55 mpg at 55 miles per hour on a 1000+ mile trip.
