Hearing aids for audiophiles.


I’ve chosen to walk away from the sirens, horns, gunshots heading both directions, and all the damage it’s done (doing) to my hearing.  Through the miracle of hearing aids I’d like to bring back my hearing as close as possible to my youth mostly for the purposes of accurate and full tonal musical listening, and then, of course, to hear the voices of my loved ones better.  To those of you who’ve gone down this road, what are recommended brands and non-recommended brands, as well as any pitfalls to be aware of?  Costs and sizes are factors also.  Thanks,
Bob

Phonak’s best model for me. On my second pair. They upgrade the technology every three or four years. Costly... about $6K although you can buy them for 40% and more off. Connect Hearing will bargain. I hear things the young guys in the high end stores miss. The key is getting them set up correctly for music and your listening abilities. All aides will take you time to get used to... it’s a brain adjustment thing. They will have adjustments for ten to more sound bands in each ear plus the thing on the end that goes in your ear. My guy also does the local symphony conductor. Keep going back and adjusting until they are right for you.
