Audiologist

Yesterday Butch and I went to the Audiologist in Carroll IA so he could perhaps try out a new hearing aid. The jury is still out if he will go with the new ones or stay with the old ones. But that is not what prompted this post. In our conversation with Doug the audiologist he was telling Butch about an attachment to his current hearing aids that would behave like headphones while watching TV and that sounded like something he would very much like to have, BUT they are not available because of a chip that is extremely hard to find. It is affecting the tech field and the automotive field to a very large degree. These chips are in short supply globally and could take years to catch up.

Fast forward to today and the following article was one of the first I laid eyes on this morning. Good News!
