Cookie Bite Hearing Loss: What is the best hearing aid?

I was diagnosed with cookie bite hearing loss ten years ago. My audiograms have remained nearly identical throughout that time with no new hearing loss. I will get new Phonak 70’s in a couple weeks. I’ve always had the same hearing aids, Siemens. I’m looking forward to having Bluetooth and telecoil capabilities. I also hope the new hearing aids can help more with loud, high-pitched sounds—I seem to have become more sensitive to them over time. An AuD fit and checked my original hearing aids; however, I hope a new AuD and improved technology will help me hear better, especially at work where we all wear masks.
I will post after I have some time to get used to the Phonaks. I understand midrange hearing loss can be difficult to fit…I’m just hoping for some improvement.

Good luck with your new hearing aids. They really do make improvements over the years.

I've gone through the "new hearing aid" thing at least 5 times over the years now. My hopes and expectations always exceed the performance of the new hearing aids. They do work better and have much better features and connectivity. The sad reality is that hearing aids can't fix hearing loss - they can only make it better.

I hope the new hearing aids are an improvement for you. Brands are different and technology keeps improving. Thank you for sharing your experience. Do let us know how this works out for you.

I am wondering which kind of domes you got for your phonac? I just got the audeo 90 and have cookie bite and still have problems in noise environment. Thanks
