Your best option is to spend $4500, but I got the friend discount. They are programmed for the tones I can and can't hear. Even at $4500 there is nothing they can do for my right ear so there is a distortion (tumor and radiation damage) when trying to listen to something with another noise in the background. Loud restaurants still drive me crazy and I really need to see lips to understand what is being said. I can hear it with my aids but just can't comprehend it due to the distortion. It is amazing how music sounds different when you can hear all the tones.

Mine are Bluetooth as well. That is a very nice option for phone calls. Dr. Matt's story reminded me of helping a friend look for his when he lost one cutting firewood. We covered every inch and finally gave up. He found it when he got home and was taking his shirt off. It fell out of his ear and into his shirt pocket.
