Wow. Thanks guys! Went to Audiologist today. Luckily hearing loss similar each ear. Will receive a copy of graph monday. Down about 20 in rt ear from 250 to 3000. Down 30 in left. Down 40 at 4000. Then dives down to minus 80 at 6,7 and only down 65 at 8, limit of test.  Not pleased with technician.  Said only latest n greatest aids can help. Your inputs are encouraging. Folliwing up next week. Will go for another test at different company. This one was pushing Oticon. Cheers to all !

Loving the higher frequencies.  All woodwinds benefit significantly, likewise flute and horns. Nuance returns to music. Precious. Even though im trying the cheapest avail its enjoyable.
@mlg was upgrading a bit gain in music enjoyment? What did you notice? Cheers to decent hearing !

Am trying a base level now. Enjoy music more - but these are not great. Interesting to hesr paper rustle again :). I will enjoy my hiking more . Im thinking of buying used as there seems a fair amount on offer. 1.5 yr old Phonak Audeo B50 avail for about $700 US. Trying to check out best way to have them adjusted and maintained. A couple of dealers were not interested. Scary

I ended up buying a higher end Phonak. After audiologist adjustments I'm very satisfied :)  Certainly the best hi fi upgrade I could make..
