Sherod, the utilization of this device requires rather elaborate services of an audiologist I seem to recall reading. Much back and forth interaction via computer programs with the firm in Australia. It's not a "one size fits all" device. Every patient has to have their software custom designed and tuned, just like hearing aids. The purveyors of that device aren't going to get any richer than your average audiologist probably. The scale of manufacturing is too small. Like every other service the medical industry provides, it's not for those cash impaired.
Ckoffend, I didn't mean to imply that audiologists are at the top of any income survey. I just assumed most people would know that when I made the statement. My wife has worn hearing aids for many years, we've known several audiologists and their families on a friendly basis, and we've yet to meet any that are "rich."
