@bookysue Thank you for elaborating. It looks like you bought these from http://www.clearsoundwaves.com. It's good to know that you are having a positive experience with these. They claim to fit people with up to a severe hearing loss. The upcoming OTC aids will only target up to a moderate loss. One huge con feature that the clearsoundwaves do not have is Bluetooth. Bluetooth has been the absolute best feature for me with my Resound aids. Before my current aids, I struggled on the phone. I now do pretty good with the Bluetooth connectivity. One pro feature of the clearsoundwaves is that it comes with a telecoil, which gives a better listening experience in venues that have an induction loop installed. Another con feature that is lacking with the clearsoundwaves is the lack of accessories. A TV streamer device is not an option. The TV streamer brings the audio from the TV directly into the hearing aids.
