I don't use apple products, but this is pretty awesome. Im sure there's going to thousands of people this makes a difference for.
- I hate Apple stuff, but from what I understand, hearing aid companies have been hawking overpriced crap for a while now because of lack of competition.
  
  So this should be a good thing IMO!
  
  My last pair of hearing aids was $6,000.
Medicare money flowing into Apple means constant money. Imagine Millennials picking hearing aids and preferring Apple EarAssist.
