Steve I really don't know much about hearing aid selection but I can relate to you a few things the hearing aid wearer experiences.
Mine are middle of the road $2500 ea. Audibels that fit behind the ears. My step mom has Belltones that look exactly like mine only different color. They do make sounds sound a little different, somewhat like listening to a PA system but you get used to it. If you can convince her to put them in and leave them in all day there's a probable chance she will get used to them and like them. My hearing loss is flat line, and easy to amplify. Her needs might be different. If possible do not go cheap. Dad got cheap ones and put them away in a drawer after only a few days of wearing them. Sharp loud noises made him jump out of his seat. Any electronics that amplify sounds tend to over amplify sharp sounds and hearing aids will do that. My aids tend to over amplify the sound of setting down a coffee cup or the crinkling of paper. I don't know if more expensive aids buffer those sharp sounds or not. Background noises are amplified too and my aids pick up noises behind me a little better than noises that are ahead of me. Sitting at a meeting, that person five rows back who is shuffling paper can be loud enough to interfere with being able to hear the speaker. My hearing aid man told me any hearing aid sales person who claims to be able to block out background noise is lying. To sum it up hearing aids do help but it's up to the wearer to get used to the different minor annoyances. Jim
