Hearing Aids - Digital Technology versus Analog Technology Whatever Works Best for You

Digital hearing aids have NEVER worked for me.. I can't stand them. I MUCH prefer the analog programmable (with multiple programs for certain situations) - but those are harder and harder to find now... but not anymore. My current hearing aid that I just got a few months ago (ironically) is a digital that is *programmed* to sound like a programmable analog.
