My kids and I are huge history buffs, so we love to go on vacations where we can go and see lots of historic sites and see the places where we've studied about in school.
This year we picked to go to Boston and take a trolley tour around to see all of the historical sites. One one of these tours we had to get back on the trolley before 5 or we couldn't get on another one for the rest of the night because they stopped running after that, except I didn't realize that and didn't hear that. So when we were off seeing the original Cheers bar my kids were reminding me that it was almost 5 and I couldn't understand what they meant the significance of that was. Then when we left after 5 I realized it. After we had to take a taxi back to our car in rush hour traffic, my wife looked up hearing aids in Boston on her smart phone and showed me what she foudn. We talked through it and decided to go to miracle ear when we got home later that week.
We tried not to let that incident spoil our trip and we forgot about it pretty soon because we went on a really fun ghost tour that night.

Smart Phone
Guest post written by Tim Andrews
After months of contemplation I finally bought a smart phone. I’m retired so it’s not like I really need to keep up with my e-mail for any purposes besides personal ones. But I thought it was time to catch up with the times and tired of hearing about all these useful phone apps that would work on my regular old phone.
For all the phone’s perks, I noticed I was having trouble hearing the person on the other end of the line during phone calls so I used the phone’s Internet capability to look up hearing aids and miracle ear cost.
I found the info I needed, scheduled a hearing test and got fitted with a hearing aid that you can’t see unless you look really hard for it. It’s obvious that I’m advanced in age when you look at me, but that doesn’t mean that I want to wear a bulky, ugly, old-fashioned looking hearing aid.
Now I can use my brand new toy – my smart phone, not my hearing aid – in public without being embarrassed.
