My old hearing aid for my left ear is somewhat broken and it is pretty aged. I consider to get new HA for my left ear only. I don't want to have two HAs 'cause my right ear tends to ring for some time to time.

So I wonder, what is best kind of hearing aid? I prefer a digital HA. EDIT: And I only know a little about Phoenix HAs.
 
There are too many choices out there, your audiologist will narrow it down for you. I suggest you try out different ones until you find the one that sounds the best.

I 2nd this. try out different hearing aids and get the one you like the best. :)
 
well I'm going to be getting a new set of hearing aids this Febuary instead of this month due to delays though LOL

good look with digital hearing aids!
I kept my analogs for backups but it's now dead AND it still works!

I also agree. It's also important to have a good audiologist who will work with you to get it "just right". Not one who is only interested in selling you one.
 
Thank you for your comments. :) Very well. I'll check out to see what is best HA for myself.

Thanks again for the replies. Cheers~
 
Karissa, ask your audi to give you a loaner pair before you buy. You should be able to try them out before buying them. Good luck!

Hi There,

Just stumbled upon this thread. Some good suggestions here, though I wasn't clear if your second hearing aid works or not? There are clear benefits to having both hearing aids providing sufficient amplification level. This blog post might help.
 
Sally - Ah, okay. I'll remember that. Thanks~ :)

JamesHD - Welcome to AllDeaf! :wave: I just looked up to see that blog. It seems interesting and informative. Thank you for the link! I appreciate it. Oh, I mean, my left ear doesn't have a lot of ringing or buzzing so I wear my left HA only. If I wear my right HA, I'll not able to listen anything if I only hear "ringing" or "buzzing" in my right ear. Even I went to see my doctor but there is nothing my doctor can do about it... :( Oh, well.
 
yeah plus I'm going to see my audie 2omorrow since I'm going all the way down to Farmington LOL
