Everything people are saying is true.
I have a set of in the ear Oticon that has 3 different programs set up. I use the speech program the most. I don't think you need 5 - 10 programs.
Once you decide to get them, one of the biggest decisions is do you want in the ear or behind the ear. I decided on in the ear and screw what people think. The only problem is when you wear headphones it changes the program every time you chew or yawn. I was amazed at how small the behind the ear hearing aids are, but in my logic that was a problem when out in the woods and I removed my glasses and ripped the hearing air out.
You need to wear them and get use to tuning out noises to find distracting like the ice maker or refridgerator.
State laws vary, but some give you a period to "get use to them or return them for a refund. I found having a person who is good at fitting them is a very good thing in your corner. I also bought an extended 3 year service plan that gives you tune-ups, replacement, repairs, reprograming, etc. After 2 years, I sent them back to have them checked and ended up with a new set.
