Any hearing aid recommendations for octogenarian?
We want to get a pair of rechargeable hearing aids for a woman in her 80's. We have no clue about brands, features, quality.
Anyone here researched this, know of a good unit? i know we've got old farts, guys who shot out their ear drums at the range, and many of you have older relatives.

I'm 100% deaf in my right ear, and 50% in my left. After a LOT of trial and error, I settled on the Phonak Cros system, they work well enough for me. It's all about expectation, I've found that no hearing aids duplicate natural hearing.

No batteries required.

Re: Any hearing aid recommendations for octogenarian?
I was issued GN ReSound LiNX Quattro Rechargeable Hearing Aids by the VA they are behind the ear, bluetooth ready (great for the phone) and the best one I ever received from the Army no damn batteries to change you just use the charging station. I have a had a few and so fa these have been the best for sound and maintenance as well as keeping charged. But to be fair all hearing loss is not the same and an audiologist can best determine needs and functions required.

IANAL. I don't give legal advice. I'm only stating my OPINION.
(Did I really need to say that on an Internet forum? LOL)
