[GlenGurian]

I guess I got lucky to find an audiologist who had worked with musicians before. After springing for the top-shelf brand he suggested, I took him up on his offer to bring my guitar to his office and proceeded to play while he ran a cable from my new hearing aids (as I wore them) to his software program.

He invited me to make suggestions as I played, but after just a couple of minutes he smiled and said "It's okay. I can tell by your face when you like what you're hearing and when you don't."

Maybe 30 minutes later and he had created a music channel for my hearing aids that perfectly (to my ear, anyhow) recreated what I would expect to hear from my guitar in a studio setting.

My advice: Pay as much if not more attention to the audiologist you chose as you do the hearing aids you buy.
