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.

Which model Bernafon did you choose? I remember when you were dissatisfied with all hearing aids, so they must be good. I'm in the market for new hearing aids. I remember you from when you were in the Az AudioVideo Club. I was sorry when you dropped out.
Hi Boboli..... So many aids do the job with speech, but not so well with music. I tried every brand and model I could find... digital at its worst. I have the top of the line Bernefon called the Juna 9. Their specialty is their abiity with music. When I listen with/without the hearing aids, it sounds like a heavy quilt is removed from my head. Best mod yet. I got them in Costco...they were very nice and patient. If you call the Costco on Haydn Rd, I understand the factory rep will be there. Some brands can stream from you Iphone, connect via Blutooth to the tv, and do all kinds of tricks. The Bernefon can't do all of that, but the sound quality is the best. Try them out to make your own decision. Stan
Same type of story.
Despite my hearing loss, I can still appreciate good music and good sound.
Most hearing aids clip as the a to d chip can't follow the music. It's better without them. (Phonek)
