I have no experience with mdhearingaid.com, but I did fairly recently try out a hearing aid in my left ear for two weeks, after having suffered a sudden and unexpected near total loss of hearing in my left ear back in May. It didn’t work for me. What I hear unassisted in that ear can best be described as listening to a blown speaker through a foam earplug. It’s mostly just clicks, thumps, and buzzing noises, with at best about 12% speech recognition. All the hearing aid did was amplify what I was hearing on my own, and it was REALLY annoying so I gave up trying. In any case, while demo'ing that $2,600 hearing aid, it was suggested to me that Costco's prices were a LOT cheaper for basically the same unit. Had it worked for me, that’s who I would have likely bought it from.
