My hearing has been gradually deteriorating for several years - and this week, I learned that it's time to get hearing aids.

DAMN!

The modern hearing aids seem to be very sophisticated with regards to sound modification, and they're almost invisible. Great. But then I heard how much they cost.

DAMN, DAMN!

Anyone here in the fifty+ forum have experience with these things?

How bad is the wind roar while cycling? How badly does excessive sweat affect them? (I would get the "nanocoated" version, and the "wind block" option.)

And besides cycling - how have you adapted to hearing aids in general life..?
