The next step to a better hearing expoerience

I alraedy have aids from Outside Clinic and have very good support as I adjust myself to what I felt was changing quality of hearing. In fact first it was wax and then we found that I had my existing aids set at high volume and sharpness - which is untenable for day-to-day listening. This is my first test of the new AI-assisted aids. I am going to buy them. The people I have met from Outside Clinic are excellent technically and fluent in customer support
