[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some audiologists will let you wear them and see how they feel.[b] An important reason to use an audiologist is that with the better hearing aids they can adjust the hearing aid to your specific needs. For example, I have trouble hearing in the low end of the audible spectrum, and they tuned my hearing aid to increase the audibility of those tones but not everything else that I was hearing just fine.[/b]

Last summer, my regular hearing aid conked out because the battery died, and I was on travel. I went to Walmart and got a cheap hearing aid that cost about $100. It really wasn’t very good - better than nothing, but still far inferior to my Oticon.

Another thing is that hearing aid technology is advancing fast. A new generation comes out every two years or so. They say the newer hearing aids will incorporate artificial intelligence, but I’m not really sure what that will been in practice.[/quote]

Costco does the bolded. They set the hearing aids for my dh's specific needs. He felt very ripped off by the first 2 sets of hearing aids he got at an independent audiologists office. [/quote]
