Save $250 on Eargo's invisible in-the-ear hearing aids - CNET

The new Eargo Neo HiFi aids use a "flexi palm design" to hold their position in your ear.

Eargo

It's never easy to transition to wearing hearing aids, and the stratospheric pricing that has traditionally accompanied most of those medical devices has not helped. Starting in 2017, though, legislation enabled more affordable hearing aids to be sold directly to consumers, and Eargo has been at the forefront of that effort. Just as importantly, Eargo's family of hearing aids are more like consumer earbuds than Class 1 medical devices: They're easy to use, you can adjust them via a mobile app thanks to Bluetooth and they charge in a friendly, attractive case. And from now through Sept. 8, the Eargo Neo HiFi model is available for $2,700 when you apply promo code LABORDAY20 at checkout. That's $250 off the list price.

To be clear, that's $2,700 for the pair and all the accessories. If you're thinking in earbud terms that might sound like a lot of money, but hearing aid wearers are used to seeing substantially higher prices. In fact, it's not unusual to pay about this much for each individual earbud rather than the complete set. But despite the far more affordable price, the Neo HiFi aids are designed to deliver really high sound quality, with features such as wind noise reduction and feedback cancellation.

They're also fully invisible in-the-ear buds, and rely on a "flexi palm design," which are little treelike spikes that position the buds in your ear.

Well-liked Medicare plan vs. higher-ranked providers - ChicagoNow

Medicare Open Enrollment ends December 7. The easy choice is to stay with all-in-one Medicare Advantage instead of switching to Traditional Medicare plus a supplement and drug plan. The hard one is whether to switch between Medicare Advantage plans, from a well-liked one to one accepted at a so-called top-10 hospital. Humana Gold Plus, a Medicare Advantage HMO, has served me well for five years. Hearing aids cost me only $10 after its $2,000 allowance. Routine doctor and dentist appointments and my medication cost nothing. But Humana Gold Plus is not accepted by Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the nearby hospital that US News & World Report ranks as the tenth best in the country, or by Northwestern Medicine physicians. My primary care physician is in an Advocate Medical Group. If I were hospitalized, it would be at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. If I had a serious illness, I’d see specialists in Advocate’s network. Illinois Masonic is not a second-rate hospital, and...
