It's the exact same with me! I can hear it just fine but my speech discrim sucks! I will tell you that for the 3 weeks or so that I have had them speech is coming MUCH better. I can understand simple one word commands and my name (it sounds like I am dog LOL) It is coming slowly, but surely! When I first started I got no benefit from them with speech at all. Now in quiet one on one situations they actually help me with speech reading. It does get better, I promise.

As my audiologist says every few minutes to me "Research shows that it can take 3 months before you start seeing improvements with these aids"
