You need to go to an audiologist and understand what levels of hearing loss you have. Sorry but a box store is not going to have that level, or quality of product or personnel. Quality is not cheap. Do you want Bluetooth, rechargeable or willing to replace batteries each week? A box store may allow you to try them out and may also be able make slight adjustments while your in the store. That environment will be different than in your car or else where. Being in large mechanical rooms for too many years and being too dumb to use hearing protection and loud music is what caught up with me. I tried the box store ones and was not impressed by the quality or staff. I started with Phonac brand replaceable battery and no Bluetooth, then switched to Bluetooth and rechargeable within a trial period and only paid the difference. They were not cheap and our insurance covered some of the cost. It will amaze you of what you have not been hearing!
