Hello, my hearing loss goes back about 3 years when ENT said I could benefit from hearing aids to hear TV and others in group settings and around home so I'm not always saying "What" and moving closer. I went to "Sound Advice Hearing Center" here in St. Pete FL and ended up with Oticon OPN1 hearing aids with bluetooth support. They are wonderful as I no longer say "What" unless my hearing aids are out. I also got an Oticon TV adapter which connects TV digital out to OPN1s. This really makes TV sound like surround sound which I can control separate from external speakers. Since I also have low vision due to glaucoma and can't read books easily, I now love listening to audio books from audible.com which I download to iPhone and listen to via OPN1s while exercising at the YMCA gym.
