When I moved several years ago my new home got lots of catalogs for places I'd never shop at. I was shocked at how significantly it dropped the volume. Did nothing for things local ads, but the thick glossy catalogs all stopped.

Zones are great and they are often the right solution. There are limits. If you have the choice of putting 100 zones on one 4 socket system or 25 zones on each of four 1 socket systems, I'd probably recommend going with the four syst

My insurance would cover a hearing aid for the ear that needs a hearing aid. Whether the hearing aid supports bluetooth doesn't come into the equation. Since I only need one hearing aid, the bluetooth feature was of minimal interest.

I bought my Costco membership so I could buy a hearing aid, so call the cost of the hearing aid $855 if you must. That's still more than $2000 in savings. The free hearing test was performed before paying for the membership. Sure, sa
