Hearing aid advice
I'm going to put this out there for you.
Not all hearing aids are the same. If you can, see if you can get models to try on for a couple days. There are behind the ear, and in the ear types. I personally use a mini behind the ear. I find it more comfortable and a lot less annoying. (I hate for my ears to itch or just in general, messed with)
As for company's I prefer Phonak. I've had Beltones, and got a lot of reverb and feed back from those. I had a Miracle Ear set, and found they were susceptible radio interference. If I was within a few feet of a cop car that was using a radio, I'd get that in my devices. At 1st it was funny, but after awhile, not so much.
In the end, good luck!
