I need hearing aids which kind?

[Mike Pearson]

I would also recommend going to an Audiologist to be tested. I have profound hearing loss. I have been wearing aids for about 5 years. I have the Bluetooth type that connect directly to my phone. That feature is incredible. As others have said don't expect to be to hear perfectly. Background noise is an issue. High frequency loss is the worst type of hearing loss. Mine is hereditary. My dad and grandfather were both almost def when they died.
My hearing aids are Oticon brand and have been real good. They are not cheap but you don't want cheap hearing aids. I like the ones behind the ear. They are real comfortable and easy to work with. I also like the replaceable battery. When I am at the racetrack I don't want to have to run the generator all night to charge hearing aids. I buy my batteries bulk from Amazon. I get 60 batteries for less than $30. Batteries last about 5-6 days depending on how much streaming you do. I wear mine from the minute I wake to the time Io go to bed every day. I can not function with out them. Hearing loss is a bitch.

I do take them out just before I put my helmet on before a run.
