By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

Turns out, neighbors' aids are simply a step or two 'down' from the ones DH got.
Hearing are not all the same. The aid must be set to respond to the frequency loss. The otc kind are for mild hearing loss. Once it gets beyond that, they should be matched to the loss.
That means that if the loss in the high frequencies and not so much in the lower frequencies only an aid that covers the high frequencies will work close to normal hearing.
My loss is so messed up that it gives the audiologist fits. If I amnot wearing mine and the phone rings aand I am at the computer I won't hear the ringer. And I have a loud external ringer plus the ringer in the phone and both at less than six feet away.
I feel that you should consult with an audiologist to find out what will work best.
they are not like the volume on a radio but more like the graffic equalizer on a good stereo system where the bass and other sounds are set by the listener.
You may not need the extras that mine have, like blue tooth ability for cell phones, live streaming from the TV or mp3 player (I don't use an mp3)
I don't even start to hear most sounds until it reaches as much as 75 decibels and other at 95 decibels. And the graf of my hearing looks much like a hand saw. with uneven teeth.
I hope you find something that works for you.
They run a special on a pair for less than $2000.

Billy, try the Lions Club; they have used hearing aids for income qualified individuals.
You might also try contacting the American Legion; they assist Veterans in obtaining benefits, and there might be some for Reservists. I believe they have an office at the Ann Arbor VA Hospital.
