Thanks to everyone who replied, more good information that I had no idea about!
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

@anotherbob A highly skilled audiologist is essential. Widex Moment 220's have exceeded my already high expectations. After a few weeks with a few office visits to fine-tune them, they've changed my life. I could not be happier. I tried the 330 and 440 models as well but did not find them as good. Also, the brain needs some time to adjust but soon you'll hardly know you're wearing HA's. Seriously. Best of luck to you. |
@anotherbob, spend some time reading at https://www.hearingtracker.com/ Be sure to study "Community/Hearing Loss Forum" and visit the DIY pages. If there is Costco in your country it should be your first stop. There is only a small number of manufactures but many many brands to confuse the prospect. I have on order from Costco Rexton bicore custom ITE aids. Hearing aid hardware/ software priority is for speech recognition with programs to turn on and off features. I do not know how mine will sound on a music program. The audiologist is very important for analysis and HA setup. |
