I've worn hearing aids for over 20 years; they will probably not sound right immediately; it's a matter of going back to your audiologist and telling them what you don't like, and they can make adjustments. You might have to do this several times. I recently did this with a set of Jabra hearing aids I got from Costco. Took a few visits, but music sounds great to me through them at this point. I've always gotten good sound with any hearing aids I've had, but not right away....
Are using hearing aids for stereo listening like trying to push a river through a straw?
I recently went through the testing and ordering process of being fit for $4K Widex Moment 220 hearing aids. These are supposedly designed for people with expensive stereos. I was dubious but a good friend highly recommended them.
When they arrived, the guy fit them and from the first moment it was like listening through an electronic devise attached to my ears. I couldn't stand it. The guy admitted that he questioned if I would like them and said that it was like trying to push a river through a straw! My hearing is OK but I definitely could use hearing aids. But I can't stand that electronic sound, especially putting that devise between me and the stereo.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Or does one get used to it and it improves the listening experience?
