thanks for your response. I am not sure what "moderate" hearing loss means. While $6,000 is a lot of money for 2 hearing aids, it's not so much the money but rather a combination of other factors that makes me lean toward cancelling the purchase (30 days in MA.). I hear everyone okay with the exception of my wife who speaks very softly. I don't like wearing them. Wearing them while putting on and taking off a mask is a pain. And the lack of any tinnitus relief - all combine to make me wonder if I'll ever wear them. Mostly they have been the case since I acquired them. I think that the audiologist "oversold" the idea of any tinnitus relief (the remote control has a setting for tinnitus, but it does not help). I could reconsider but I'd appreciate any thoughts you or others might have to help me to decide (my appointment is coming up soon). Thanks.
