[QUOTE="mgssamn, post: 3759364, member: 46421"] I have oticon opn. the brand and what you need is highly also depending on how bad your hearing is. I go to Eastern OKlahoma ear nose and throat in Tulsa-- my mother went some where else- not near the warranty and service fyi.. I have 3 year warranty- and then at 2 years 9 months or so i send in for free cleaning- they send back whole new set free... but---- 6500 or so this last time and insurance pays very little.(i am not on medicare yet) my mom is on medicare and think they paid about 250 or so.. minimal as well. My insurance as well will pay for certain ones in whole ( on line stuff), but that wont work for me, as i think medicare will on some.. again goes back to what you need. the bluetooth capabilities to me is super cool, ( with most major brands) -if i am miraculously cured of my hearing, i will keep my aids for talking on the phone :-) my main suggestion, don't go to a non specialist to get your hearing aids unless your hearing is not that bad, or the aids are free or you simply cannot afford it. Then if it doesn't work you can go back to a specialist and do it right with no loss of $ or little from erring on trying to get by with less cost. Again, recommendations w/o knowing hearing loss ? not sure, but i cna say i have tried phonak and widex, and have had oticon for 8 -10 years. [/QUOTE]
