Free Hearing Test Appointment

So I finally decided to go to the ear doctor and get my hearing checked today. It's been a few weeks since I went to the movies and discovered that something may be wrong with my hearing. I don't like doctors or anything so I didn't schedule an appointment right away. What made me schedule is all of the frustration I have at work. I cannot understand what my co-worker, Georgia, is saying half the time and I usually try to avoid talking to her face to face. I work in customer service, I'm on the phone all day long and I am constantly having to have customer's repeat themselves. They get frustrated and irritated when you ask them to repeat themselves especially if they are already a little ticked off.

Anyway after a particularly difficult call yesterday I did a search for hearing doctors and found a few. I went with Miracle Ear because they offered a free test. I had my appointment today at 4:30pm. The doctor did his test and told me I had what was called Sensorineural Hearing Loss. It’s not curable with surgery or anything. I would need hearing aids. He started pushing his company’s hearing aids which were like $5000 to $7000. At that moment I didn’t know if I could trust his diagnosis. It was a free test and it seemed like a scam to get me to shell out thousands of dollars. I told him thank you and left. I called my mom and told her about it and she advised me to get a second opinion. My dad told me the same thing. So I guess I need to do some more research and find another doctor and go for another test.
