I finally got some hearing aids on a 45 trial basis after a couple of hearing tests, and agonizing over the miriad of selections and the enormous cost of these things. I was initially amazed at the sounds that I have been slowly getting muted out of my life. I have more of a high frequency loss overall and especially in my left ear.
So I got this set from Lloyd Corporation in Rockfor Il called the iHear Mini Canal for $559 for the pair for only 1/3rd down on a 45 day trial. This was the least expensive way to get into a hearing aid set that would allow me time to try this technology out. True, these may not be the final product for me and my hearing loss. There is a lot better technology out there but the costs go up exponentially it seems. I've worn these now for a few days and fiddled with the adjustments on them nuerous times. There are only two adjustments on these analog devices, volume and high frequency.
Because of the various atmospheres I live in and not a sedintary 'at home' lifestyle, these may not be sophiscated enough for my needs.
I have also discovered there is another set called NaturEar Digital hearing aids that may be worth trying out.
