Any suggestion will be appreciated

I've checked with Widex and the Dream 440 it's not discontinued, they still made them. I'm going to order one from my audiologist.
All I know is my model is Windex 440 - do not know anything about D9 or anything else, - sorry.  If it is discontinued I do not know, but regardless you cannot go wrong with ANY of the Widex models in my opinion - new ones would probably be better.  I had an older model from 2006 that was great - for music - it just finally wore out in 2014 - probably from overuse.  it just broke apart.  I do not think you can get more that 8 to 10 years out of any model hearing aid by any firm.  The technology improves and they just don't last forever.
Wow! I'm audiophile and musician too.
I saw a couple WIDEX Dream 440 on the internet with different letters and numbers  like this one  WIDEX DREAM 440 D4-FA,
I think they are discontinued already, but I found a dealer in Germany and they still have them brand new.
By the way, I am still playing the violin and viola and I can tell you that only the WIDEX worked for me playing the string instruments, and in fact if you listen to classical music and appreciate the sound of strings (violin, viola, cello, etc) the WIDEX are a must.
I have Widex Dream 440.  The price is around $3500, which I consider a great bargain compared to the many others I have tried that are more expensive but do not work for music (in my opinion).  Those Starkey you are trying  for $6K a pair sound like a really BAD deal to me.
Yes, I saw that too about the loud sounds.
I'm gonna look for the WIDEX

Thank you so much for your  help
@viloadave Thank you for the link! I've got a pair of Starkey LIVIO hearing aids on trial for 3 weeks. I can't stand them for music and they're over $6k for the pair. Woe is me.
cal3713:  I looked at the information on the General Hearing simplicity-Hi-Fidelity EP aids and a phrase disturbs me:
"By not amplifying loud sounds the need to constantly adjust the volume control in different listening environments is eliminated"  It sounds like the are equalizing the sound and not giving the listener the full frequency spectrum.   The Widex aids are know for a wide dynamic range and I can testify myself.
I do not know anything about the "General Hearing I aids".  Sounds interesting.  Here is the link to the article I mentioned.

@violadave  Can you provide a link for the audiologist's article?  Thanks...
Thank you so much for reply, Im gonna check it.
Also do you know the General Hearing I  musician aids?
I've heard a lot good reviews on it.
Not sure I understand your question.  I am an audiophile who has worn hearing aids for 13 years.  I tried many brands and the only one that actually worked for me was WIDEX, a Danish maker.  They really do justice to music.  I can refer you to an article by a Canadian audiologist who makes a clear case that - really - only Widex (dream) hearing aids work for musicians and music lovers.
