The Oticons have what is called a speaker; it’s right before the tip that goes in your ear. You need to change them every ten days or so as they get filled with wax but this doesn’t entail a visit to your audiologist or Costco or wherever and they are quite inexpensive.
Different models I believe. If you go to an ophthalmologist he/she makes the prescription but doesn’t fill it. An audiologist does both. My guess is that they do both because it’s a profession that has less people than the eye business. More specialized perhaps?
I’m hopeful but not overly optimistic that the Mets can take it to a game 7. Teams that are down 3-1 and need to win the last two on the road to win the series seldom do. It’s only happened seven or eight times in baseball since the 1950s. It’s been a fun ride nevertheless.
