I would advise you to maybe get him to bring in a Phonak rep to help with your fitting. The only difference between your hearing aid and grandma Sally's, is power and yours being capable of frequency compression. The Naida is not doing anything earth shattering that other manufactures aren't doing (expect being transpositional, a very small percent can utilize it and AVR is the only other company I can think of that utilizes the technology).
However, the going from traditional amplification worn for a long period of time to a transpositional hearing aid can take a long period of adjustment. It's just a totally different way to hear. Some make the transition fine, some don't. Your right ear doesn't need frequency compression, your left ear probably could, but minimal.
