Ad Rant: After obnoxious Staples ad, give me higher prices and lower volume

If you want to meet your favorite rock stars, you'll find them in line at the hearing-aid clinic. Musicians are known to blow out their eardrums from performing in front of speakers set at crushing decibels, but you don't have to go through all that to have a legitimate reason for seeing a hearing doctor.
