Somewhat slightly off topic.... maybe....

Some of you may recall that we had to buy Ida a new hearing aid when she was
in the nursing home only a couple of months.   The audiologist came right to
the nursing home and fitted and tested her right there.   Shortly after that
she was diagnosed with the pancreatic cancer, and a few months later she was
gone.

Anyway, they gave us back the hearing aid, nearly brand new, cost over
$1500.00 the best Oticon "Sumo" model.

I offered this hearing aid to my dad, who is 92 years old and hard of
hearing.   He inquired about getting it adjusted to his particular needs
(they do it on a computer) and having a new earpiece made for his shape of
ear.   They told him that model is much too strong for his needs, and would
be more suited to someone with a much more profound hearing loss.

It seems a shame to waste this thing, and I was wondering if anyone had any
good ideas on what might be a way to re-home this gadget?    I hate to just
toss it out, it isn't even a year old!   Selling it on Ebay is one option
which we could try.
