Need for better Hearing Aid (HA) and Provider Selection Information

I have no complaint on Costco as my experience with my insurance appointed HearUSA is about the same. Majority of Costco's HA cost around $1,500. I went for the Resound which cost $2,600. I have used 4 pairs of HA so far - 3 Signia and one Resound. I don't like all of them and lost faith with HA as they are only 70-80% effective. I still have trouble hearing soft conversation. And the worst was too much outside noises that the audiologists didn't know how to suppress or stop amplifying them. While I was watch TV, the noises people walking on wooden floor behind me , and the noises that my wife was washing plates were too hard to bare. Does anyone didn't have these problems?

NO my friend, don't look for best value! They are too many factors that need to be considered. Good HA unit needs to have lots of frequencies that an audiologist (AD) can tweak to fit your need. That said, the AD must be capable of identifying the sound frequencies that do and don't need to amplify. I haven't found one after using 4 HAs and lost faith with them. I still not be able to hear soft conversation and I am hearing loud outside noises that annoy me.
