I'm in need of information about hearing aids that truly work for my DH. He did get tested some years ago and bought the MOST expensive hearing aids he could.
Never really got used to them and actually hates them now, refusing to wear them at all.
He seems to have an adverse reaction to latex, which is on the h/a's to cover the ear canal. 1/2 hour of wearing them and he's taking them off and scratching his ear canals.
I want BRAND NAMES and honestly, money is not a worry.
I know many people have gone the Costco route and are happy. I know that a big part of this is being compliant in the use of them and re-learning how to weed out the ambient noise.
I've posted lengthy posts before and got a lot of flak for things that were said. Please don't let this dissolve into discontent and fighting. I just need recommendations. He says he will give ONE more try at finding aids that really help him.
Thank you in advance.
There's no link to hearing aids, so I am going with Care Decisions.
One cousin wears the 150.00 each and LOVES them, another cousin has the Costco ones @6k and he LOVES those.
My husband has spent 10s of thousands looking for one's that work, to no avail.
Good luck finding ones that work for your DH.
One day I told hubby maybe he should see an ENT to check that ear, and I know of one that comes highly recommended. So he made an appointment. Turned out with the equipment she used to look into his ear was so much more advanced than what our primary doctor had, she found ear wax had harden like cement way down in his ear canal. It was no easy task to remove it, took several sessions. Now hubby can hear out of that ear. But the "selective hearing" still remains :P
He has also been to an ENT.
I know he watches a lot of Fox News and they advertise some kind of hearing aids on that channel. Maybe we'll check them out. The ones he decided on (some years ago) were supposedly THE BEST, but he never acclimated to them.
It's been close to 10 years, so I have to think that there might have been some strides in the quality of h/a's.
My neighbor got the Costco ones and loves them. I think we need to get him to try several new types, and have a money-back guarantee.
Ok, just read a bit more and these would be for "mild to moderate" hearing loss.
The are a lot of hearing aids that you can buy with a generous return policy. In case your dad does not like them or wears them, just return them. I bought for Hearing aids for my mom from https://www.blaids.com. They also sell on amazon. Have great support and my mom loves them. See if it works for your dad. Best of luck.
