Well this sure explains a lot. I’ll be sending out private messages with a link to this article to some of you I feel strongly are either deaf or unable to think clearly anymore or both. 🤣

You are welcome.

A friend made a rather in depth study of hearing aids for his personal use and used first the top end Siemens and then upgraded to Widex.  Perhaps that is helpful. These are very top end products, rather expensive.

It’s easy to believe, as the isolation induced by deafness reduces the feedback that stimulates our brains in normal interactions.  This isn’t the first study to suggest this.

  The great thing is that there are so many over the counter hearing aids now, some very cheaply priced, that many people who could not afford the regular ones can now benefit
