Recommendations for hearing aids


I am hoping to get recommendations for the best hearing aids for an audiophile. I am 20% down from 125 to 500 Hz and then gradually decreasing from 500 to 4,000  Hz at which I am 65% down and then 65% down through 8,000 Hz.

this is the software that you use on your smartphone for my Audicus Omni Series 2; Philips has their own similar software, all modern ones do, it becomes easy after a bit of practice

They have one setup called ’Live Music’ which I use when listening to music in an audience or listening to my system.

I used this while considering Philips from Costco

My Audicus/Android phone use both the mic and the speaker of my hearing aids for phone calls, so I can leave the phone on my desk and walk to another room, and the person can hear me, with some, you might hear, but it needs the mic in the phone for them to hear you, and you left it in the other room.

 

I've been wearing hearing aids for over 20 years, and get new ones every 4 or 5 years as technology advances. I used to pay $6K - $8K at an audiologist, now I go to the audiologist at my local Costco (he's one with a lot of experience) and most recently got a pair of Jabra hearing aids for $1500, plus another $60 for custom ear molds. 

Definitely, concur with the Costco Hearing aid center, a cost effective, value oriented option.
