Hi House... I am so sorry for your hearing issue... I have had a similar loss, but probably not quite to your level. I am a pro violinist, and have increasing difficulty as to pitch intonation. When I went to the audiologist, he told me that most musicians have my difficulty and recommended I try hearing aids. I too have a very high end system so the quality of sound that an aid provides is critical...not just that it provide the lost frequencies. I tried many models of many brands...most were "digital" in the worst sense. I then came across the ones I ultimately chose....a Swiss company - Bernafon. It took me a bit of time to become accustomed to them, but they are a revelation for me. The stereo has opened up, I can now hear what the 2nd violins are doing...without the hearing aids, the system is severely hooded. My violin performance is much better as well. I got the Bernafons at Costco for way cheaper than any other provider...they also were very patient with me trying all the models they had.
