Where do you live? There are many, MANY different kinds of hearings in many different price ranges. I have a top of the line OPN 1 and it was 3,000$. There are cheaper versions for 2k. Many manufacturers produce models under 2k. I'd advise to have her check again, perhaps with a different audiologist.
Heck, if she gets an earmold, I can give her my old Oticon Chili. I bet there are other avenues to procure a cheap one.
For what is Hunter being investigated for? According to several articles, its for tax and money laundering which is not at all what everyone was making a fuss about a few months ago (the laptop/emails, which reminds me of Hillary and "Her Emails!").
Given that there's uncertainty around it, can we really conclude that "they broke the law" and that it's unfair that big tech did not withdraw their support?
I'm glad someone has looked into but it doesn't confirm or deny much. They were -measuring mortality- against those already infected and those "instituionalized but asymptomatic". It doesn't seem to say anything about making symptoms milder for those that contracted covid-19 after taking supplements or for those who have already contracted, which is what I think OP was suggesting.
There's also some very concerning long-term effects for those who have recovered. There's a trend of seeing lung-scarring or other things that I'm sure will come up again int 10 or 15 years. Imagine that happening to a large portion of society.
