Talking New wheels or hearing aids

I just turned 44 and bought a Z. I want to put some new shoes on her but just found out I'm pretty deaf . Hearing aids are $3600, I can get a set of new shoes alot cheaper. What ya think

You only live once and you have gotten this far without your lack of hearing seriously affecting you. So get the wheels. Plus until you get the hearing aids, you can just act like you didn't hear people " Wife, Girlfriend, Boss..etc.

Can you type that louder, I didn't here ya. Thanks, I know I will enjoy the wheels more than the hearing aids. Besides, going huh every time someone says something to me is cheap.

I would buy wheels since most of the time no one says anything worth listening to anyway. Maybe your benefits will cover them under insurance and you can pull both off.

I need help also. Remove a brain tumor (about $10,000) or forced induction?

I honestly think that hearing aid should come first, what good are the rims if you can't hear traffic? We don't realize how important sounds are on the road because we're so used to hearing them and take them for granted. Driving a nice sports car is one thing, safety is another and should be before good looks. Just my opinion though, if you feel rims are more important than safety then go for them.

I have never skimped on buying toys (motorcycles, cars, cameras, guns, computers, etc), but the best thing I ever bought myself was hearing aids.
