How do I choose the best hearing aids?

I have Oticon OPN 3 hearing aides with Bluetooth that connect to my iPhone and also to my TV via an Oticon TV adaptor which is really great as I hear TV as if it was in sourround sound and I control sound level separate from my wife who just listens to TV via normal speakers. I've had these for over 3 years now and still going strong. I replace batteries every 5 days but the batteries are cheap. You can order batteries on Amazon or pick up at local CVS.

My audiologist is now promoting Phonac over Oticoan but I think both of these are good brands. I was referred to my audoiologist here in Tampa Bay Florida by a doctor at church who is hard of hearing.

How do you connect to the PA system in your church? I love my BT options in many settings, but not in large rooms, sanctuaries, etc. The telecoil in the hearing aid works so well if the venue has a hearing loop installation. Unfortunately, so many hearing aid fitters don't bother to activate the telecoil in the hearing instrument. And, of course, some of the hearing instruments don't have telecoils. It helps to know about them so you can ask for this feature when purchasing hearing instruments. They do not add cost to the product. BT does.
