Obviously I put hearing well before vanity. My Phonak I90 Sphere Ultra hearing aids are bigger than most or all hearing aids but I can actually hear in crowded venues. I am sure Phonak will work on making them smaller but until then they are the best thing on the market.
Sure they are more noticeable but it sure beats saying what did you say all the time.
Try them. They have telecoil and can add Auracast when it is widely available.
I got mine for $4,200. Including a charger, custom ear moulds and a device to stream sound directly from my TV to my ears.
I have a seven year old granddaughter that has some hearing loss and she has no problem with wearing hearing aids.
People just have to own the fact they have hearing loss.
Good luck to you.

@daveshaw I am surprised you were able to buy Phonak I90 Sphere Ultra for $4,200. My guess would have been $7,000, at least!

If I may ask, did you purchase them from a private audiology clinic? Here in the Puget Sound area in July of 2023 the price of Oticon Real 3 hearing aids was $5,000.00. I paid half, my health insurance paid half. It seems from what I have read, the Phonak I90 Sphere Ultra are now widely considered the best on the world market.
