#29 HEARING AIDS AND CELL PHONES
© Copyright Andrea Reynolds 2023
I had my hearing retested today, and compared to the 2017 test my hearing is only slightly worse. While I was there I donated my father's old hearing aids. (No photo.) They were happy to get them as they can refurbish them and provide them to someone who otherwise can't afford them. Contact your local Sertoma Speech and Hearing Foundation with your unused hearing aid donations.
I'm still using my S Galaxy S8 cell phone – who needs an iPhone? – but I have six older cell phones that I don't need and would like to sell. I will charge each one to see which work and which don't. At the very least they may be good to have as emergency phones for calling 9-1-1 only. And there may be some collectors who may only want to add them to their collection.
To offer the most value when selling, try to offer the chargers (home and car), original box, instruction manuals; tell whether the phone is locked or unlocked, and if it has a SIM card. You should provide the manufacturer name and provider (Bell, Virgin, TracFone, LG, etc.) and describe whether it works and/or has damage. Do some research online to determine value and offer an attractive price. And don't forget to remove your personal info and photos, and delete messages.
Update: I emptied my red address book of passwords and transferred them all to my free 3 x 5 file box. Now I don't have to have pages of crossed off contacts, but just update one card or rip it up.
