Holiday sale of XRAI AR2

I have realized, particularly over the Thanksgiving holiday, that I need help with my minor hearing loss documented a couple of months ago by an audiologist, but not enough for me to want to jump into the rarified $1500+ aid market. I took advantage of a couple of holiday deals. One for OTC Audien Atom X aids, the other, XRAI AR2 glasses.

I have been following this glass based captioning idea for a couple of years now.... ever since google glass. None of those concepts based on social media interactions and recording "my life" were attractive to me.

XRAI seems to have been listening the best to what I want, just the closed captioning -- nothing else -- (well, that is not quite true, because I want to be able to see keywords and information associated with a conversation. Based on the promo video it seems that if you use the pro minutes you can get a bit more depth on specific items by doing some gesture on the glass body?). In any case, generation 2 AR2.... on a holiday deal. I pressed the button. Maybe send the hearing aids back? Or try the glasses before I pull the hearing aids from the box....
