Default Hearing aids

I went to an audiologist and got Oticon hearing aides. Extremely expensive but came with a 5 year contract. He spent 4 weeks just adjusting the aides to suit me - no cost. They are connected to my phone and I can adjust the sound myself at any time. They are. Put on a charger every night so no battery changes by me. I have had to have the dr change the battery once but again it was covered. I have severe tinnitus and while the aides are in my ears it goes away. Love them for that! They even decrease the background noise to some extent which is when I have my biggest loss of sound. I have had some problems with them clogging due to ear wax but he taught me how to change out the inside piece and gave me extras to do that. I am amazed how much I was missing like birds singing. I recommend you don’t listen to those that tell you to just forget getting them. Dementia has been traced to hearing loss as has many other diseases.
