    Husband just had his DOT physical and passed, but they weren't happy with his hearing and said he needs hearing aids, at least by the next physical in 2 years. This wasn't a big surprise, as he's had hearing loss for many years. (this is probably to be expected when you are a fan of super-loud music your entire life, and as a teen, used to lay in bed with your ears surrounded by speakers at full blast) He works construction and also drives, so he needs it to be fairly comfortable with a hard hat. He's more concerned about how it looks and what it costs, but I just want him to get one he will wear and hopefully will last a while, or at least have a good warranty. His company sent him to an audiologist, and he was told he needed one for each ear, but they didn't really say how much of a loss he has. I'm guessing moderate to severe. Living in a small town, there's not many places nearby to look at them. He mentioned maybe going to Indy, etc. Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    It's pretty good. He got his through the Indiana Workforce office. Apparently if you truly need them for your job, the State has a great program for solutions for hearing loss.
