I am wearing a strong powerful BTE hearing aid and it is a Oticon Sumo DM. It is a digital hearing aid but it's configured to analog. I have tried several digital h/a but it is not working for me as I am soo used to analog for many many years. I am profoundly deaf in left ear and severe to profound in my right ear. With Sumo, I can hear everything and am very happy with it and am sticking to this one. With my love of music, I can pick out all the instrument playing in a orchestra. It's something I have never really heard before. Before Sumo, I had a Bernaforn BTE and I never hear too good with it.
Whenever you are getting a new hearing aid from an audiologist, make sure it is sound that way YOU want it and NOT the audiologist. You are the one are wearing it and not your audiologist. When I first got this one, audiologist made adjustment to it after my hearing test the way he think is right for me but the sound wasn't right for me at all. I made him change it completely the way I want it sound to suit ME! After that, I have been going back to him a few time to make some adjustment to it to right some sound. And now, I havent been back to him for almost two years. If your hearing aid still sounding not right for you, keep going back and bugs your audiologist and don't give up!
