I had good news today.

I finally decided to call my hearing aide provider today.  Thought I would ask him if there was a generic hearing aide out

there, among the ones advertised for $20 – $50,  that would give me decent amplification.  When  I described  what had

happened, the receptionist looked for my name on her computer and said “Mrs. Hutchinson, your contract covers the loss

 or damage to your hearing aide for a period of three years.”  Needless to say, I am elated!!  There is a $200 deductible,

but it sure beats the $2000 I would have needed had the clause not been in the contract.  I honestly did not remember

that was part of the contract.  Some days good things do happen to dumb people.
