Hi Les, I gather you wear hearing aids. Can you give some insight into what type of sound you hear with hearing aids? Is the sound the same as what a person would without hearing loss would hear? What would be the frequency range? I have recently been to an audiologist about my hearing. I have the cocktail syndrome that has been mentioned. My hearing loss is noise induced, but not from piano tuning, but from my previous career. The hearing aids that I would like to have are about 5k a pair. They are adjusted electronically. There are no visible controls on them and the wearer cannot adjust them. Is this the type you have?
