Have had a hearing loss since childhood, but just began wearing aids in 2011. Was told in the past my hearing wasn’t correctable. Lost so many years, misunderstandings, and socializing because of this. Am looking to replace my hearing aids which are very expensive so doing some research so I make the right choice in the replacement.

@sputnik904 I never personally researched hearing aids before getting them, but I have a great audiologist and I trust her recommendations for me. I went to a very highly regarded audiologist in NYC at one point and her assessment was exactly the same as my audiologist here. Given all of that, I would just find a great audiologist with whom you are comfortable and confident and have that audiologist recommend the right aid for your loss. It can vary depending on your personal hearing profile. My daughter also wears hearing aids and she loves hers but they would not be appropriate for my loss.
I have Oticon Opn1. She has ReSound.
