If I could really pick out voices from the crashing noise, a new pair might be interesting.

With each new set, they give me a worksheet of tests for the new aids.
First up, was go out to eat in a noisy restaurant. I still remember it! The busboy loading dishes in a small tub on a stand, everyone talking...
I was even hearing conversations behind me!
The noise canceling function worked well, the speech recognition zoomed in on my wife and I could hear her!
Taking my notes back to the audiologist and she changed the voice zoom to straight ahead and 45 degrees on the sides.
I think she left some rear pickup for safety reasons.

All that and they are waterproof!
The rain will kill the battery but not the aid.

I go to Easterseals, they say any issues to bring them back. No hype, no push.
After the exam, she presented a list of possible devices that would work with my impairment with prices.
I told her I did not care about ‘looks’, I wanted function and waterproof(previous ones had been rained out a few times). Because I paid for good insurance I went Cadillac.

Totally happy with them, they are amazing.

Six or seven years and still work fine, they reprogram them as my hearing changes.
