I need help to choose a Hearing Aid

I’ve worn hearing aids for 18 years. I presently have Phonak Audeo Paradise 90s. These are Bluetooth to your cellphone, which is a game changer, as the call goes directly to both hearing aids. TV connector also allows TV sound to go directly to your hearing aids. The speech clarity is good, but in restuarant or large social surroundings, it’s difficult for almost any hearing aid.
Phonak just released their latest hearing aid Phonak Lumity, which they say improves speech clarity like 10-15 percent. (Can’t remember exactly the %). As a minimum, your audiologist should perform ’Real Ear Measurement’. Your hearing aids are only as good as the audiologist that programs them. Good luck.

I'm trialing a pair of Phonac Lumity right now, but in a week or so will be trialing a pair of Virto Paradise 90's.
That may give me a good idea about the difference between Lumity & Paradise, if detectable.
Might be a little tricky to determine differences being the Audeo Lumity are "reciever in ear" vs Virto Paradise which are totally "in ear" style.
I plan to focus on directionally, automatic program switching, comfort, battery vs charging, and my most difficult spot...noisy restaurants with music. Both have identical BT capabilities which I love!
