I tried both widex and Phonak, and Phonak is my choice now, very great Hearing aid, work very smooth with IOS specially with Myphonak app which they made it accessible on ios.
I recommend Phonak

Hi. You might want to ask your audiologist about hearing aid accessories. For example, it is possible your hearing aids can work with a table top omni directional bluetooth microphone which would make noisy restaurants and dinner parties much easier to hear.
Another example is a bluetooth microphone that your wife can wear while you are in the car or out to eat, making it much easier to hear everything she says.

Finally, the rubber/plastic domes at the end of your hearing aid wires that go into your ear canals can make a big difference. If you use domes that block all outside sound, then you will only hear the sound coming from your hearing aids. If your hearing aids do a good job filtering out unnecessary sound, then you will hear much better if your domes are not allowing outside sound to reach inside your ear canal.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

Hi,
Starkey is a good brand. I wish you could get the Genesis AI instead of Evolv. Much better in crowd noise in my opinion.
You ask about channels. Your audiologist can explain better. What I understand is it is the amount the hearing range can be divided up. Like say 1500hz to 2000hz. The more channels or bands, the more control and precision the audiologist has to match your hearing prescription. So the more channels, the better the hearing aid can meet what you need to be able to hear more clearly. In short, get all the channels you can afford.

Hi and thank you for this topic. I recently had some wax removed from both ears, and my hearing was also checked by an audiologist. She reported that I have a slight hearing loss, probably not much. In addition, I was recently on another website and they briefly mentioned that hearing loss is associated with Leber's Congenital Amaurosis in some people. That is the cause of my and a sister's visual impairment. Not much was said about it though, and I'm therefore rather curious. Suffice it to say, I will probably be contacting Mr. Mosen too regarding hearing aids. I have a bone-conduction headset, and that helps out a good deal but I cannot wear it all the time due to the battery life. In reality I guess I could but I've been known to make heavy use of my technology, lol.

Hi.
I am a long time hearing aid user. Most Audiologist should give you a decent amount of time to try them out before you purchase. That should give you some confidence of whether they will help or not. Not sure about Over the Counter hearing aids. Not sure if they have trial periods or not but make sure you ask about that.
Yes, it is easier to understand someone if they are sitting next to me near my ears. I have no shame asking if we can sit on the same side of the table.

For sure more CHannels you have, more control on what you hear.
