If you have difficulty in hearing the person sitting 10 feet away from you or have trouble perceiving and deciphering what the speaker in close proximity says, then you definitely need a hearing aid. Loss of hearing or significantly weak hearing ability can be very troublesome. It acts as a barrier of communication and can cause some stressful, tense moments both for you and the speaker. A hearing aid is a must for smooth functioning of your daily life.
But how do you choose the hearing aid meant for you? Fear not, for I have just the advice to impart. Listen carefully and you will have no glitches while purchasing this priced instrument.
The basic thumb rule one has to follow is to shop around. This will help you acquire and assess the right price for a hearing aid of your choice. A local hearing aid dealer should suit your needs best, but make sure he provides free hearing tests and has the knowledge to guide you towards an appropriate hearing device.
There is a flurry of options to choose from – there is Phonak, Octicon and GN Resound. Each company has its own styles and options of hearing aids to sort out and choose from. Octicon and Phonak are moderately priced and should fit in your budget with relative ease.
Beware, do not go for cheap, modular disposable hearing aids. They will not provide the adequate comfort and performance required, and the costs could run higher than a long-running hearing aid, simply because it needs to be replaced regularly. Digital hearing aids have provide amazing benefits to the wearer such as noise filtration, directional microphones, wind noise suppression and anti-feedback technology. All in all, it sounds like ease and comfort to me. Just make sure to run down a few shops before going through with the transaction.

The first quarter financial results of Digital River
Digital River Inc, the leading provider of e-commerce business solutions and applications released its financial report and results for the first quarter of the year 2010 and the results have by far satisfied and in some places exceeded the claims and forecast of the management.
In comparison with the quarter 1 results of the year 2009 where the company grossed the GAAP revenue of $102.9 million, this year the company could earn only a GAAP revenue of $98.7 million. Nevertheless, the revenue figure still satisfies the management forecast as it was between $95 - $98 million.
The first quarter GAAP net income was $7million which indicated a price of $0.18 per diluted share. This was again low in comparison to the 2009 Quarter 1 GAAP net income which was $13.3 million. The management at large is happy with the results and at a conference today at 4.45 PM, it will discuss the major sections and analysis of the quarter 1 financial results and also set out the strategies for the quarter 2. Last year the Minneapolis company had lost a major customer and at the October general meeting had assured its shareholder to make up for the loss in revenue by aligning the cost structure with the revenue opportunities.
The company Digital River was formed in the year 1994 and since then has been a leading provider of e-commerce, ERP, publishing etc services to a majority of businesses over the world.
