She is an AMAZING audiologist, I know I say this a lot, but she doesn't have the experience that some might. She is willing to learn, and work with me though so even though it might take longer with her I would trade her for a different audie any day!
I am sure that your audiologist knows you are excited about the whole thing and these very high power aids usually only involved about less than 10% of all the aids sold by audiologists so it is hard to gain experience in a reasonable amount of time with this class of aids. So it is good that she ask a company rep to come and that will increase your chance to get a good fitting. I am very curious about the Wind Block feature on these aids and how well they block the wind without effecting anything else. I have heard both plus and minus on these aids but that should not stop you from seeking the "holy Grail" of hearing aids.
