My wife has them, and here are some tips:

1. She originally got the all in the canal type. Those worked OK, but when she switched to the behind the ear type, it was "Wow, what's that sound? Wow and I can this now!" etc. IOW, BTE was much better.

2. We've been impressed with Costco.

3. She wears them riding and has no problems with wind noise. Some people do, and wearing something over your ear fixes that.

4. We got something that let me wear a special microphone so that what I said would stream directly into her ear for riding in the car. It wasn't worth it, and we took it back.

5. Remember, the hearing aids are for your spouse, not you.

6. Getting them sweaty or wet while riding has not been a problem, but she always puts them on the special drying thing afterwards.

7. Don't expect your hearing to return to normal with the aids. You need to work on strategies for communicating with your wife. For example, neither of you should be allowed to start a conversation from another room.
