Hearing Aids?

12. Your requirements re "best" and "most discreet" may be mutually exclusive.

For the best, you might want to try an open-fit design because the sound that you will hear will be more natural. I don't know whether all hearing aid sellers let you try it out for a while, but I think that Costco's policy is to let customers try hearing aids for up to 30 days. It's been a while, but that's where I got mine.

You mentioned that you're "trying to decide whether to get one or not." After wearing hearing aids for years, my recommendation is that if you need two, get two.

Also get a remote so that you can increase or decrease the sound level.

Since you mention that your co-workers are already aware of your hearing loss, and have to repeat themselves from time to time, they won't respond in a negative way if you get one or two behind-the-ear hearing aids. After they notice the initial difference, they won't even pay attention to what you're wearing. The batteries in the behind-the-ear hearing aids are also easier to replace.
