Hi, I haven’t written in a while. I guess that’s mainly because I’ve been so satisfied with my Widex BTEs with standard tubes. I have no idea if Widex is better than any other brand. But I do know that BTEs work better for me than RICs (of which I have had many) despite my mainly high frequency loss. Going from narrow tubes to standard tubes gave them a little extra edge. I also have a great audiologist.
These aids are not exactly invisible, but I am long past caring about that. I’ll probably try a different brand next time, but I’m going to stick with BTEs and standard tubes. I do not particularly like rechargeables, so I hope they keep #13 batteries, which last me at least 5 days of full time use.
