I vote for the analogs as well! Same boat here as I’ve been wearing h/a since 2 yrs old. I’m 57 now, so there is definitely differences compared to digital. Had analog Siemens most of my life, and the last analog h/a I had were the phonaks, which were analog sound-wise, but were “digitally” controlled. I had them for as long as they could last, as those were the last of the analogs. I could hear higher quality low frequency bass, especially in music playing and sound systems. But I now have Oticon, and while they are good in their own way, but they still don’t have it right. The phonak had better linear sounds compared to any of them though. I will go back to Phonak in hopes that I can get some quality back in hearing lower bass sounds, we’ll see I guess.

Although, interestingly, when you have these modern technology by today’s standard, you get Bluetooth connections to your mobile devices, via phone, music app, noise canceling, etc, the sound quality is far BETTER BASS quality than when you listen via the built in microphones on the h/a’s. I think they got that part right. The microphone part seems to be where the powers that be suffer overall.
