Clavus - important questions that will determine your options
1) what range of hearing loss are you replacing? How much? The more hearing loss you are trying to recapture, the larger the hearing aid.
2) For me, having a t-coil option is mandatory in order to talk on the phone.
3) Digital is the name of the game nowadays, with a smorgasbord of options. Assess your current electronics array to determine whether you really need additional accessories for your aid. I had a remote control watch for mine, but it was more a pain than anything, and was so big that I just stopped using it.
Your audiologist should be able to make some recommendations when they make an appointment to discuss dispensing you a hearing aid. I have worn one for 25 years, and had various models, including starkey and Phonak. My personal preference is Phonak, mostly because I know the brand standard and have had expedient service any time I've had need for repairs or minor service.
