What hearing aids you wear and like?

[Anonymous]

Can you share what type of hearing aids you like best and what you find good about the ones you use?

I have hearing loss in one ear. My “good” ear has excellent hearing, but I do miss some words in conversation if someone is positioned near my bad ear.

I tried a few brands of hearing aids and didn’t notice a huge difference and expect a lot of improvement for $3,000.

Costco, try some.

Eargo, I bought mine on line but I saw Best Buy also sells them.

I wear Rextons that I bought at Costco.

Mine is an Oticon miniRITE R. I love it. Made my life so much better.

What is your hearing loss in one ear? How many decibels and what frequency? You should go to a hearing loss forum instead of posting here. There are specific hearing aids for a unilateral loss.

Go to an audiologist for recommendations that are based on your specific hearing loss. We are not doctors.

OP I hope you have seen someone about the hearing loss in one ear. When I had hearing loss in one ear, it was due to an acoustic neuroma that I had to have surgically removed.

Also Starkey, also hearing loss in just one ear. I haven’t noticed a huge improvement with the Starkey, even after multiple adjustments with the audiologist. But it’s the only one I’ve ever tried so I have nothing to compare it to.

I’m sorry you had that. Did the hearing return after the neuroma was removed?

Yes, I’ve had the hearing loss for a while and had the MRI to test for stroke, neuroma, etc.

Audiologists are also not doctors. Your post is unhelpful. If you do not want to answer the question, don’t bother posting such an obvious answer.

Thank you. This is good to know. I also had many adjustments and tried two kinds of hearing aids. I did not notice either brand of hearing aid helping.

Agree. Basic Costco aids do little more than amplify. For some losses, that’s not helpful.
You might want to look into CROS for single-sided heating loss.

That’s good to know. My audiologist never mentioned that certain hearing aids work better for unilateral loss. I’ll keep that in mind as I search.

I’ll look for a different audiology practice at some point.
