Just a word of warning for after you get those VA hearing aids. I only wear a mask when forced to. I went to Harbor Freight and had to wear the mask. When I left the store, I took the mask off. Quite a few miles later, I noticed that the batteries in my hearing aids must have gone dead. When I reached up to take them off, they weren't there. I assume the elastic ear straps pulled them right off. Hearing aids and masks don't get along too well. Nobody has turned them as found at HF. I have an audiology appointment at the VA for the end of this month. I have had them just 3 1/2 years, so I guess we'll see if the VA will replace them. Not hearing sucks.
