What is a good hearing aid for severe and profound hearing loss

Over the counter hearing aids are not recommended for severe and profound losses. If you have a Costco within a reasonable distance, I’d encourage to check them out. Their aids are bundled but the price is likely less than what you’d pay for an unbundled aid and you’ll get a lot more help. If you don’t want to try Costco, find an audiologist (hopefully one that comes highly recommended) and let them know what you want. Despite all the details we get into here they all work basically the same way and any of them should have greater capability than an amplifier.
