Beltone puts out this full page ad in the newspaper day after day after day saying they want to "field test a remarkable new hearing instrument in the area..." It's only a sales pitch. They aren't "testing" anything. They are SELLING a very very expensive product and using technicians, not doctors or medical folks, to sell the products. You're talking $5, 000 for both ears and the technology - more if you want a warranty! I HATE scams and false advertising!
