...I highly recommend that you get the BEST hearing aid that you can afford. Individual frequencies can be adjusted digitally, specific to your particular hearing loss. Make sure you choose a seller that knows how to program them properly and that the wireless tv/phone accessories are included in the price.

Try them out beforehand and then choose accordingly...

Opticon is a good brand. How many channels did you end up with?

I'm going by the six vertical lines laid over the amplification curve on the computer screen.
