I've opted for Phonak Ambra ITC/Canal aids. The improvement over what I had is amazing. They are very comfortable and I can now talk on my cell phone, which I previously used only for texting. I also have a TVLink that wirelessly connects the aids to TV and other devices. I'm now able to watch TV without closed captioning. It's amazing what's available if you have the resources. My father died so I used my inheritance to improve my hearing, since I'm in my 60s and have struggled with it for years. It would be wonderful if this technology were available to all who need it.
