Looking for assistance/recommendations from birders regarding
selecting a hearing aid. A few years back there was a discussion on
Birdchat regarding this, but I understand that technology has improved
and wonder if any of the posters here could point me in the right direction.
My wife has been gently (sometimes not so gently) urging me to
get a hearing aid for normal conversation, watching TV, etc. - the
normal stuff. Over the last few years I've noticed that when I go
birding with others, I'm missing the songs and call notes that others
are clearly hearing.
I've heard (!) that some of the newer aids can be programmed back
and forth for specific uses, i.e. high frequency, for birds.
Before I start going to audiologists and getting sales pitches,
I'd thought I'd start here.
Thanks in advance for your help.
