Today my family and I are headed to a ranch in Ellensburg Washington. It is a wonderful little city that is home to one of the country’s greatest rodeos and a good college (Central Wa). When ever I visit a place I always wonder what the hearing aid situation is like there. Is it harder to gain access to good hearing help in a small town than a big city? Is it more expensive, less expensive?
My gut tells me that one can probably receive very good audiological help in Ellensburg but it may not be your standard small town. Also, if you go just a mile or so out of town, you will find a very big ranching and farming community. How do these people solve their hearing aid needs? My concern would be that they resort to ordering hearing aids online. Clearly I am in favor of researching hearing aid information online, but it is crucial to work with an audiologist when purchasing.
If anyone reading this lives on a farm or in a small town, could you share a bit on your experience with hearing aids? Thanks!
