Re: 'Hearing Aide Choice

And, to add to the frustration, when I am playing in a group that is too loud for one reason or another, I put in a "musician's" earplug that distorts the sound. In such situations, I am very reliant on my tuner as well as verbal feedback from someone sitting beside me who knows I have a hearing loss and normally wear hearing aids. Normally, I don't wear hearing aids while playing in a group EXCEPT for when I can't hear the conductor without them. I don't like having to wear them because it amplifies the sound beyond my comfort level. I am VERY interested to find out how the new type hearing aids made by Bose will work. They don't cost $6000 a pair and, knowing Bose, they could be the answer! I don't use my hearing aids when I practice because of the auditory distortion of the sound. Sorry for the Sunday morning ramblings:)
