$1500 for a pair of Oticon, Resound or Phonak hearing aids is a very good price. It's important to know, though, that proper fitting is the key to doing well with any brand of hearing aids.

It's very important to have sufficient trial time to test out a new pair of hearing aids. Some providers allow 30 days, others a bit longer. Regardless, it's so important to wear the hearing aids and try them out all the places you want to be able to hear well.

The skill of the fitter is extremely important in setting hearing aids to your individual hearing loss. Did your provider use real ear measurement when testing you?

Thank you for asking. I’ve been to quite a few audiologists in recent years and happy to say this young lady is awesome. She’s gone the extra mile in every way. Been working with her for a several months & with Resound loaners. She did take a mold of my ears but I didn’t like those at all they hurt my ears. I forget the brand. They had little antennae sticking out lol. She sent them back .
My L ear hears pretty good but has hypercusis sometimes. The R ear has Menieres/tinnitus Hard to explain but I don’t think the R hearing aid helps me hear as much as it allows me to tolerate tinnitus with brown noise most days.
If they really help me hear I should be able to know what direction a voice is coming from. This is the 3rd time I’ve tried. None so far have improved my hearing much but at least these somewhat help with tinnitus unless it’s a real loud day then forget it -I stay home & deal with it best I can.
