Recommendations for hearing aids

Thanks Upshift. I should have searched first.

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. 

The audiologists that I have met professionally and socially are not interested in music appreciation.  I think speech recognition is all they care about.  If I ever find one that prioritizes music then I will patronize them but so far the recommendations that I have gotten from people whom I trust are all for different cities 

@mahler123 - the hearing aids I've had in the past decade or so have multiple programs available, one of which is usually 'music'. I use that setting on mine, and then use the '3 band equalizer' on its software to further adjust it. A huge difference from the speech recognition program. If I find I'm having a consistent issue with music, I go back to the audiologist and explain what the problem is, and they can usually make adjustments that will improve it to a small to great degree. It's an iterative process even if you're not using them for music.
