Curious to know if the Starkey audiologists included information about the value of telecoils in hearing aids. If not, make sure you tell them! I spend my summers in north central Minnesota, where most whom I meet that have hearing aids, have Starkey aids. Very few of them know what telecoils are, much less what they can do. Starkey makes a qualtfy product, but hearing aids without telecoils are like automobiles without air conditioning. You don't need it all the time, but when you do you don't want to be without it! I've had great success with Widex.
