From my experience and talking to a friend who has had expensive hearing aids for years, he tells me my $1399 pair are as good as his that he paid $4000 for.

With my UHC TV advantage I purchased a pair of Relate BTE's made by Phonak for $850. Absolutely best I have had. I have been wearing hearing aids for over 20 years and these are the best yet. I hear birds chirping like never before, actually understand many more words in songs, and am able to understand women's voices much better. BTW way my problem is near severe mid to high frequency loss. These hearing aids have many bells and whistles like Bluetooth connection to listen to music and podcasts, in ear phone reception, and a smartphone app with a bunch of programs to enhance speech recognition and/or suppress noise. I could not be more satisfied if I paid several thousand $ (which I have in the past). Incidentally, with my previous Oticon's I had problems with the ear tips continually coming off and lodging inside my ear . The Relate/Phonak have a modified tip design the so far over 3 months have not shown even a hint of slipping off.
