hearing aid styles - #15267

Vedant

I am struggling to make a decision about hearing aid styles for my dad, who’s 75 and has been experiencing quite a bit of hearing loss lately. At first, we thought it was just age, but it's getting worse, and he keeps saying he can't hear even the tv, which is super frustrating for him. I want him to feel more comfortable and connected to us when we’re chatting or when he’s out with friends. We’ve gone to a couple audiologists, and they mentioned different hearing aid styles but honestly, I’m a bit confused about it all. There are behind-the-ear types, in-the-ear ones, and I even heard about some that are completely in the canal. How do we decide which hearing aid styles would actually work best for him? Plus, are there any specific benefits or drawbacks with the various hearing aid styles that we should be aware of? I’m worried about comfort, especially since my dad is a bit picky and won’t wear things he doesn’t find comfy. Would one style be significantly better than another for him, considering he’s not tech-savvy? Any advice from people who have navigated through the different hearing aid styles would be super helpful!
