I went to my ENT doctor who is affiliated with a Heraid Aide Center that has an audiologists. I recently had the test from from another audiologists so my ENT doctor recommended I see the affiliated hearing aid center. The audiology test will indicate where you need help hearing, You would have to try each one and see which one you like the best or if it fits your money supply.
They suggested the 2k hearing aides as I did not want to spend 5k for hearing aides, (The 5k hearing aides were as close to perfect hearing you can get). They go behind you ear and have a tube that fits into your eardrum. They are hardly visible. The earbuds that fit into your ear have several sizes so you have to see what size fits your ear.
The maufacture is Starkey and they have a place in TV which I plan to go to if I need any future adjustment. The hearing aides are digital and can be adjusted. I find they are great in that you put them in the the AM and really don't know they are there. I have to constantly remind myself to take them off before showering as they are water proof. They are not to be worn in the shower or when going to to a pool.
I hope this helps.
