#What did you say? Huh! I can’t hear you! This thing must be outta battery again!

  • grandpa, probably.

Sadly my grandpas/-moms, from both mom’s and dad’s side, have already passed… last one, the one grandma I grew up with and loved, passed late last year, I recall September…? And grandpa, whose last car I inherited as well, passed when I was starting my 2nd year in vocational college, in summer of 2014. Mom’s mom passed before I was born, same year in fact, and dad’s dad I never met, but had a few words (he literally asked to get my dad to phone).. that’s all.

TLDR: keep your loved ones close for as long as you can! I almost let go of granny near the end… too early.

Many have proprietary batteries that you are better off ordering a whole new pair of hearing aids and hope your insurance will agree to pay for a new pair. In USA at least many insurance companies have limits on medical supplies per year like orthopedic shoes, optical glasses/contacts, hearing aids, walking assistance devices, etc.

Three things I hope to continue doing in my golden years are seeing, hearing and eating. Guess what Medicare doesn’t cover: glasses, hearing aids or dental! You pay for extra coverage for the three things most seniors need. I guess they think we can’t see or hear that we’re getting screwed :/
