I need hearing aids which kind?

[Rory McNeil]

Every year at work (auto dealership mechanic), the company had a hearing test truck come in and test our hearing. For about the last 10 years, my hearing was continuously getting worse (I`m 63), and my wife was after me for years to get hearing aids. I went to a local hearing aid specialist, who performed their own, and more involved tests, and suggested Oticon brand. When they arrived, they were able to fine tune them in the store. I don`t wear them all the time, and never at the race track or in the shop while working with power tools, but they certainly did make a huge difference. (The first thing I noticed was how loud the turn signal flasher in my truck is!) Mine sit behind the ear, and I can adjust them with the app on my cell phone. The hearing aids also work as a "hands free" device with my cell phone. I also learned, that if your hearing aids are on, but not in your ears, when the cell phone rings, and you pick it up, you can`t hear the other person, as they were playing thru my hearing aids, in a different room. Took a while to figure that out!
