You would have to trial the major brands. I remember trialing Widex and Siemens and Oticon before I went to my Phonaks. One of those actually had better clarity but were not powerful enough for my profound loss. I don’t remember which one. Oticons worked better for me about 20 years ago when my loss was not as great.
I think clarity to me means there is less distortion in a persons speech pattern. It’s hard to describe but sounds in general are nicer and not as harsh which makes for easier perception….although the brain can adapt to anything over time.

Thank you. This was my first pair of hearing aids so I knew nothing about them. I was never offered any other brand. I wish I had been able to try more than one kind.
Thanks again. Your reply has been helpful.
