If you want to consider aids, go to Costco. They sell very good stuff at 
half the price of audiologists, they have first rate test equipment to 
check hearing and to adjust aids to fit individual needs. My XYL has 
aids from them; I sat in while they counseled her and adjusted her aids.

In my professional life designing large sound systems, I had to learn a 
lot about the mechanisms of our hearing system and hearing loss, and I 
regularly used test equipment to adjust large sound systems. It is from 
this background that I can attest to the quality of Costco's 
performance. I was first pointed to them by W6OAT, who has worn aids for 
many years. I know other hams who have bought aids from them.

When you talk to them, make sure they understand that you work with 
earphones -- that will influence which of several types of aids will 
work best for you.
