I agree, go to a licensed audiologist. At a hearing aid store, you just get an amplifier as opposed to a programed hearing aid. the extra you spend is well worth it. Get an exam from an Ear, Nose, Throat doctor first to eliminate a medical condition that is causing your hearing loss.

You get what you pay for. I have purchased hearing aids from Ph.D audiologists and from private stores and Costco for over 58 years. Each and every one fined tunes those aids, the latest with computer modifications. The much less expensive may be analog and can't be fine tuned except [possibly by adjusting the gain control.
