It wasn't that I wouldn't spend dear cash on a product that would actually do a decent job for me. It is more about the idea that hearing loss is one of those things that insurance companies have ignored as best they could, and the retailers of hearing aids seem to have priced them stratospherically out of many peoples reach. A short time ago, my mother got a new set for herself, and it has changed our relationship (for communication). Now, on to music, I have tried a few hearing aids, and love how the sales pitch assures you that you must 'get used to them'. Really? MP3 hearing aids, is that what we need to get in tune to? I see more and more progress being made since headphones and the like have gotten more popular. Now, turn that effort to the 'new' hearing aid business and get more affordable products made, with reasonable music reproduction as well.

I don’t recall the name, and it was basically the same idea for listening to music. Thing is, I doubt that they did more than your hands cupped, i.e. slightly concentrate most frequencies, not specific to your hearing. Additionally, I agree with the idea of flagging those with hearing loss on this site. I also think that the mentally unstable be flagged as well. Ignorance shall also be banned/flagged/flogged. Hey, what do you know, my first flame...

Actually to the point that Every Agon user should be required to get a hearing evaluation before their first post. After all, many have hearing and don't realize it. Then there are the mentally ill. They too, should be flagged, so we know the source of the comments being made about audio equipment. Not stopping there, the people with giant egos, or bunches of tightly wrapped BS/marketing talk, will no longer be allowed here. Not being mean, but someone just had to say it.

That leaves the readers to decide for themselves the value of the content (and it's source) to begin with. On a related comment to this thread, yes, absolutely, there are MANY who have the same number of senses as they should who don't use them. Lastly, when it comes to my hearing, wisdom of its beauty set in many years ago.
