I agree with you and am so glad you mentioned what someone may NOT need.
My hearing loss at this point is profound and I don’t benefit from all the bells and whistles that are included in the newer and more expensive aids. I know some Audiologists push Bluetooth and think that a Tcoil is not necessary. In my case….I have tried Bluetooth aids with numerous settings on one particular brand. But I want and need my Tcoil setting which is more helpful to me. There is no reason why todays aids can’t have both…..knowing that the type of aid is a consideration of course.

I also understand the lure that OTC hearing aids have for those new to hearing loss.

And, if you haven't already done so, sign up the the free via Government CapTel (or similar phone). Records your conversations, works as an answering machine, but requires a landline. It is nice to have the written backup for important conversations. Even when you can hear well, it's nice to have refer back to when you can't recall if the doctor said take one two x a day or two one time a day.
