What Brand Of Hearing Aids Are Audiophiles Using?

This isn't a joke, so please no things like:  no wonder you own Mac or GE or I knew you were deaf, you get the idea.  I have been to an ENT already (my ears were professionally cleaned) and had a hearing test scheduled with an Audiologist but it has been cancelled until our stay at home order is lifted hopefully by the middle of May.  I have done 2 online tests and have found I am not hearing anything above 11K.  At 67 years old, I thought my hearing was still ok as I can hear differences in changes of equipment, cables, etc.

I would like to hear from other audiophiles either here or via a PM if you are too embarrassed as to what brand you recommend to give me a good sound.  A friend said he won't use his hearing aid when listening to his system because everything sounds tinny.   So, there you have it, any helpful response would be appreciated, as I am sure I am not the only one

I wear high quality hearing aids to help understand conversations in crowded/loud conditions BUT not daily and certainly not with listening to my good system nor when playing guitar (classical) because it does sound strident.  I have had many sessions with tech adjusting parameters of the aids and though improved still is not good enough.  
I would be interested if any forum member really hears better musical sound with these devises.
