Hearing aids for audiophiles.

@anotherbob, spend some time reading at

Be sure to study "Community/Hearing Loss Forum" and visit the DIY pages.

If there is Costco in your country it should be your first stop. There is only a small

number of manufactures but many many brands to confuse the prospect.

I have on order from Costco Rexton bicore custom ITE aids.  Hearing aid hardware/ software priority is for speech recognition with programs to turn on and off features. I do not know how mine will sound on a music program.  The audiologist is very important for analysis and HA setup.

Thnx 

Delightful conversation!  I've recently gone down two paths since I have significant high freq loss (3 audiology tests over 10 years) and decades of tinnitus.  1) an OTC hearing aid (Jabra) which works but is a bit of a black box in terms of hearing "accurate" audio/music and 2) a miniDSP SHD that I'm using to tune my room to MY TASTES in how I like to hear.  The former is a cheap way to improve my audio universe but dosen't quite get me to music nirvana.  The latter is for me and me alonie...I don't care if it's "accurate", I care if it gives me music pleasure. It's been a slow slog thru the digital EQ world but hey, this audiophile stuff is not a team sport.
