Found that there is an online company that offers high tech hearing aids at reasonable prices and provides the equipment and software to allow you to tune them yourself (DIY!). Got them about 2 months ago & couldn't be more satisfied. I ran with their initial program for a month to let the brain adjust then have gone through two program updates. I use an audio oscillator & high quality headphones to evaluate my hearing with the aids in place & determine needed adjustments.
So, I had my test and I'm about normal for my age, meaning that I have pretty severe high frequency hearing loss. They don't even test above 8kHz, which was some 40+dB down. I don't need hearing aids yet but I will since it runs in the male side of my family.
