Just gave back my $6,000 Widex Moment hearing aids that I had on 30 day trial. The sound was just crap. I'm a musician, and sound quality is all I care about. I don't care about bluetooth or phone compatibility, I just want a good sound. The high dollar hearing aids sounded like an old AM transistor radio that was in a back room, in another house, 2 states over. Even tho they boosted the sound, it was terrible. Definitely not worth $6,000. So, back they went.I don't even remember buying this, but I happened to find it in a closet and it was still unopened. So, I thought...why not? I've tried the expensive stuff, so I now know what aids can do. Let's compare.Well, this is what I expected the hearing aids to sound like. It does exactly what you would think a good hearing aid would do. It boosts the sound and it sounds good. I dunno if it is as tune-able as a hearing aid. The audiologist said I had lost some high-frequency sound and was constantly adjusting those expensive aids to compensate for all sorts of stuff. Hell if I remember what it all was. It sounded like crap no matter what she did. Nice lady tho...and cute.Anyway, I didn't do a thing to this device. Just put in the batteries and plugged in the earphones. Put 'em on and Voila! I can hear!What the hell was I paying $6,000 for? Yeah, it was small and almost invisible, which was cool...but, if it didn't help, what's the point of being cool?If they could reproduce this sound in a small, almost invisible hearing aid, I'd pay my $6,000 and walk away grinning. And be cool again.Worth every penny.SF
