Need decision help how to proceed with hearing aids, your experience

You can purchase the same hearing aids you are wearing in your trial for half the price at ziphearing.com. They also will refer you to an audiologist in your area for fittings and future appointments. I got my first pair of aids this way when I lived in Texas. They set me up with an audiologist that was a short 15-20 minute drive away. I now have a coclear ear implant but have high praise for this business.

so there are 4 providers for ziphearing in my area, to release the information, you have to give them your phone number.

I would suggest you try TruHearing. Much like Ziphearing they have a good network of audiologists around the country with very good prices and they carry all the best brands.
Also make sure you find a good audiologist. Mine is very good but also very busy. I made an appointment with UCH the largest hospital in my area. I went to their audiology department and paid $90 for a far more comprehensive hearing test and adjustment. My appointment lasted an hour and a half. My regular audiologist could never spend that much time with me because of her workload. Just a thought. She also told me that Cochlear implants would not improve my hearing anymore than my current hearing aids. It was nice to get an unbiased opinion. Hearing aids continue to get better and they are doing research on how to regrow damaged hair cells. Probably nothing on that front for awhile but one can only hope.
Good luck.
