Oticon More 1. Not cheap but excellent hearing aids. I could not believe how much sound I was missing in regular life, music was just an add on.
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

I have a pair of Eargo Neo Hi-Fi aids. Totally invisible, FDA approved, rechargeable, multiple programable settings, can vary bass and treble all through you phone apt and cost only $3500. These are their top model and supposedly made with the audiophile in mind. Made a huge difference in my hearing as well as re-enjoyment of my audio system. J.Chip |
My advice is don't wait any longer. This has been the biggest upgrade to my system...EVER. Been using Apple Airpod Pro ($249) as hearing aids. (see video below) tested against Beltone hearing aids costing $5400. The Airpods pro are better!! IMO hearing aids are a HUGE rip off. No reason they should be SOOO ridiculously expensive. Using Airpods pro you still take a free hearing test from 'Mimi' and file an audiogram on your iPhone. BTW...It matched exactly the audiogram from the audiologist office. An important point is that YOU get to control the software to make adjustments. You don't have to go back and forth with your audiologist to adjust. You do it yourself fast, easy and accurately. The sound experience is incredible. I have a typical moderate high frequency hearing loss. Music on my stereo never sounded better. Detail is absolutely amazing! Great dynamics as well as sound stage are vastly improved. Great bass also. You can also stream music, take phone calls or listen to TV directly using two modes. Transparency mode allows you to hear other sounds around you OR you can switch to cancellation mode that creates a completely silent environment perfect for music listening. Coming in IOS 15 will have a new feature called 'Conversation boost" using beam forming microphones to focus on the person speaking and cut down on surrounding noise like in a restaurant.
