1. what hearing aids do you wear? I was using AVR Sonovation frequency compression (ImpaCt Xp) on both ears
2. How good are they? Did not help me, could not understand words.
3. Do they help you hear everything you want? I tried them for 3 weeks but I still could not understand words but powerful. It could be better with speach therapy. Because of compression of high frequency it is hard to understand words.
4. Are they uncomfortable? no
5. What degree hearing loss do you have - L- 100db R-95db
moderate sensorineural hearing loss and 250 hz, rising to mild sensorineural hearing loss through 1000hz, sloping to a moderate sensorineural hearing loss at 1500hz sloping to a profound sensorineural hearing loss through 8000hz with no response to equipment limits at 8000 Hz in the right ear.Speech recognition ability in QUIET is good and fair in the absent of visual cues in the right and left ears. wow.
