Frank: I thought it funny when you mentioned  going off the board with your 
aid on, it could happen.
Anyway, couple years ago i was swimming and my aid fell off the dock. 
Looked for it but couldn't locate. We were staying at a cabin in the Pa. 
Mountains on Lake Wallenpaupack. Well there were a couple guys scuba diving 
and I told em if they could find it they would get a reward. Well they never 
found it that week. It was really the last week of summer. So the next year 
we go back to the cabin and up near the cabin is a picnic table. My wife 
finds the aid burried in the mud under the table. It is a real mess, the 
guys musta found it and brought it up to the table and left it there.
Now here comes the good part. You wanna know how much a hearing aid really 
costs? Now this aid was shot, I cleaned up the case and took it to my dealer 
and said it wasn't working well. He sent it back to the service agency (I 
think it's Starkey Labs) (I wear 2 Maico power aids), and they fix the 
hearing aid. It cost 60 bucks to get it fixed. You know they had to replace 
the whole works, so i think the price of aids is a real rip off.
