I have a very nice stereo system that has evolved over many years. Music, especially jazz, is a real passion of mine. When my hearing began deteriorating, along with incessant tinnitus, I saw an audiologist. I informed her that music and high-end stereo was important to me and that I was afraid hearing aids would somehow compromise the essence of what I might be listening to, she said that Widex was absolutely the best for music. They were not cheap but they are incredible regarding critical music listening. I am now hearing the full musical spectrum…treble, midrange and bass. If you are a discerning music listener and have hearing issues I absolutely recommend Widex. I was stunned to find out what I had been missing in my music.
Hearing Aids
I have used hearing aids for 20 years, but primarily for understanding voices in movies and TV. I was considering selling my Merlin TSM speakers, but in the meantime, my wife and family were starting to complain about my hi fi levels. I put the aids in, and...WOW....what a difference in clarity and depth! Why the heck didn't I try this sooner? This was one reason why I decided to stick with the Merlins. Well, as luck would have it....I have lost one of my aids. They (Phonak) were going on 10 years old so maybe it’s time to upgrade those. However, my insurance plan will only pay $1200 towards new hearing aids. The Phenol, at least 10 years ago, were quite pricey. Any thoughts from this sage group?
