My dad just picked up a set with bluetooth. He can pair them to his smartphone and answer his freekin phone through his hearing aids. He also bought a thing that you connect to your tv and pair to it so he can listen to tv through his hearing aids. Trouble is, I think that set as well as the last cost him around 5K IIRC.

His old pair was giving him some trouble so I jokingly said "go buy one a set of those hunters ears" well he did and he loved them. He said they actually worked better for hearing than his expensive set but the noise filtering didn't work as well. I said what do you expect for under $100 versus about 5 grand??

And yes, as I understand it from my dad's search the smaller you go and the better the filtering the more you're going to pay.
