[quote=cdmeggers;974981]BassBoost turned off, everything sounds much better now. Now.... if I could maybe steal 5 minutes of my audie's time to switch out 2 programmings... puh receptionists are clueless. don't know how to deal with my relay calls, even though I ALWAYS call via i711 relay "can I get your number and I can call you back?" I'm at work, I don't have a number, I'm using the relay service via the internet!

I'm a bit frustrated. I don't see why I need to make an appointment for 2 weeks from now just to make a simple switch out of 2 programmings, honestly.

It's times like this, where I wish we could somehow adjust the hearing aids on our own computers.. just simple adjustments. they should have a program for HA users to load onto their computer, and they can make their own simple tweaks, like switching out programmings and adjusting the volume a bit (with the program having a limit on the volume so some users don't go too crazy). Just little simple stuff like that. Blah![/QUOTE

Infact there is a one company that sells all the sofware and cables for their hearing aids called American Hears and I can find their web page later on. On my Phonak hearing aids I have a audie that will let me program the aids myself since I worn hearing aids all my life and was involved and trained in research. I understand your frustration and you are at the level to understand your loss and what your needs are. I was gratify to have a outstanding CI audie to program my CI exactly the way I wanted after many visits. It really pay off in my case.
