Ask your audiologist… Beware of the 'trade in' gimmicks!

I would hope that the intelligent consumers in North Idaho would not fall for these common practices. I recommend that any hearing impaired person keep a working pair or spare hearing aid. Anything can happen at any time. If one loses a hearing aid they would need a spare until a new one was ordered. If one damages a hearing aid (I have had a rash of dogs eating my patients hearing aids lately) you would have your spare to rely on until your aid was replaced. Please keep your aids where your dogs can't get a hold of them.

ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Wine price inflation round 2

We wrote frequently during 2022 about the surging inflation in the wine industry. For much of the year the price increases were relentless and pretty much across the board for wines from every appellation New World and Old World alike. Through the first half of 2023 things seemed to stabilize. There were still some price increases but they were more moderate in nature and not every bottle that came through the door went up. Even more refreshingly we saw some wine come in down a “tick or two” at the wholesale level. We were relieved, and I’m sure most wine consumers were as well.
