First time with hearing aids will be a new experience to get used too.
The world is a lot noisier than you remember.
The sound will be different as it is being amplified.
The background noise that has been a problem for some time will not go away, but with modern hearing aids can be reduced, but not stopped altogether.
Bluetooth capability is brilliant, the hearing aids can be paired to cell, laptop, tv, etc. Conversation and programs are so much easier to follow with the device.
Use a good audiologist, not a hearing aid seller.
TOTV users will give you many recommendations, and Sam's seem to be a very popular choice.
Lastly, you get what you pay for with hearing aids.
There will be an initial WTH are these things, but when you get used to them, your life will be enhanced, as silence is a lonely place.
WHAT?

I agree totally. Strongly suggest you look into the service provided by the hearing aid seller. Need to repeat hearing tests annually and often the hearing aid will need some sort of service.
