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?

I will just add that you should wear them every day for a month or so, it takes time for your brain to adjust, but it will slowly filter out some of the negative aspects.
