Nick wanted everyone to be able to use his electrical developments for free. Edison found a way to monetize it and ran with it. This morning, I saw an advertisement for a company searching for people to obtain and test new rechargeable hearing aids. It was 100% complimentary and yes, you got the hearing aids. They even had an office I could go to a few miles away. The truth of the matter was that these new hearing aids would be free for 30 days, but they weren&#8217;t free of charge. The misleading advertisement was explained to me by the person who called to reconfirm the appointment.<br \/>\nConcerned about the truth I was disclosing to her about how her company\u2019s advertising firm was doing them a greater harm than good by falsely advertising, I predicted that somebody is going to wind up getting free hearing aids in a settlement, if they do not act on this illegal practice. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Agreeing, she asked if I could send her an email.<\/p>\n<p>I said, I&#8217;ve got one better.

They agreed to cease and desist from using that catfishing, bait and switch procedure. I have faith that this particular person will forward this to the appropriate department and they&#8217;ll find better wording for their ad.<\/p>\n<p>It only takes one person to do the right thing in life.
