Recommendations for hearing aids

@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. 

So here we are a little over a year later.  Does anyone have any updated recommendations on the latest and greatest hearing aids for music listening?  I need to pull the trigger on a pair pretty soon, and my insurance covers nothing... So, a significant "equipment" purchase for me (but no WAF issues for this one!).

Has anyone tried the Fortell? 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I've seen a lot of people saying they prefer Widex hearing aids for that purpose.

To me, there's a lot more difference between audiologists and how well they do their job than there is between brands (many brands are made by the same company).

Every hearing aid can be tuned and EQ'd for your liking (that's what the audiologist does), often in a music program, and some have 3 band EQ in the app, too. My Jabras from Costco have all of this. 

If you have access to Consumer report, they have a fairly comprehensive article that sorts through the different brands and providers and also ranks by user satisfaction and reliability.

I am going to test some Sparkey Omega AI 24 hearing aides next week. I just got my hearing tested and have a big change in my left ear. I’ve had hearing aides for about 7 years now. The audiologist recommended these as they are SOTA and have a good MUSIC program. I discussed with her that I had a serious Audio hobby. My insurance covers a different brand but she told me these would be much better and are a tad more than twice the price of the covered ones.
