Yes I told the tech at Costco I was wearing one hearing aid only and she said to wear both. Also make sure you get the wax removed from your ears if you have that problem before getting tested. A doctor did that for me once. That helped.

Cataracts Dixie? You could start a whole new thread for that one. Or do a search.
The Oticon hearing aids my dad had were able to be found with the app similar to the "find my" feature in iPhone.

Did they explain why? One of the things my dad's audiologist did was make sure his hearing was balanced. She said that your hearing being unbalanced is actually hard on your brain. I didn't ask why that is. The answer probably would have gone way over my head. She was also very negative on noise cancelling because, as she said, your brain needs certain sounds.
