I need hearing aids which kind?

Hands down Costco! They performed a hearing test to find where in the low to high pitch range the loss was. I told the guy performing the test "I can hear leaves cracking under deers feet when the woods are quiet but I cant hear my turn signal beeper or watch alarm". He found all my loss was in the high pitch range.He tuned in the prescription I needed and said walk around the store for a while and listen to people. After 10 minutes I went back and bought them. They are behind the ear (I'm old and ugly and didn't care if they were construction green), they sell in the ear but they are not as good. Mine were around $1500 or $1600. My Grandfather gave $4000 for his that didn't benefit him with no money back guarantee. I had 5 months and 29 days to return mine for a full refund and no questions asked. I can't remember the length of warranty but I did have one replaced. I have had mine maybe 4 years. I worked as a Medic, 40+ years of sirens (that were mounted over head in the early years) and guns without hearing protection took its toll. My hearing was affecting my job. I'm semi retired and work an ambulance 3 or 4 times a month and only wear them when needed. I would without hesitation buy from them again, and have sang their praises to anyone with hearing loss.

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.
