Hmmm....I went to Costco. Tried a pair of Phillips walking around the store for over an hour. They were horrendous....it sounded like I was in a futuristic science fiction movie. I later went to another audiologist and and actually purchased a pair of Widex Moment 440 hearing aids, incidentally retail priced at $9800!!!....thank God for insurance and other discounts off of retail. I am literally on my 2nd day of wearing these. Now understand I own a $150k home 2-ch system and it sounds damn musical to my old ears without the Widex. Putting the Widex in my ears now gives me the equivalent of $899 all-in-one system you might buy at Big Lots. So far, music absolutely sounds better WITHOUT the hearing aids. While I do understand speech in conversations and TV dialog better, the Widex (so far) do nothing in making music more enjoyable. I have a 60 day trial period on the Widex aids and we'll see how this experiment turns out.
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
