    Phonak Naida VS Oticon Dynamo

    I have decided to trial out the Oticon Dynamo sp10 aids. I can tell they are very competitive with Phonak. Now, I'm not really familiar with what all it offers in program options. My Phonak aids had auto, front directional, tcoil+mic, FM, music and mute. What possible options can I expect to...

    Phonak Naida VS Oticon Dynamo

    Hi all! My current hearing aids are now about 8 years old. I remember frequenting this excellent site back then helping all who got the Naida V UP devices when they first came out. It was a great ride. Now its time for a new ride. I have read somewhat about the Phonak Naida Q90 UP...

    hearing aids squeaks because of volume?

    I recently had a tubing that cracked at the outer base of the earmold, because of the way it was formed before it entered the mold. It formed a crack, I was always getting feedback, I couldn't see it until looking under a bright light. I bent the tube out and found the crack in the crease of...

    Hearign Aid Advice

    The Naidas do well with wind noise and also noise control, but your mileage may vary (YMMV) It all depends how well the audi programs the aids. I also use Naida aids (V UP) for 2.5 years, so I have had my issues, but still won't part with them. I love the wireless control with my FM...

    Special announcement! UbiVia - Live Mobile Text for Deaf, HH, and Hearing People

    I have no problem text messaging in a business environment. I don't see how AIM type IM would fit in though, as I need a vibrate type mode to get my attention that I have a message or someone wants to talk to me. On the other hand, the UbiVia is supposed to vibrate when someone is ringing you...

    Special announcement! UbiVia - Live Mobile Text for Deaf, HH, and Hearing People

    I can imagine the monthly fees might be aggravating. That's why GOOGLE is so successful. They can afford to throw out anything for free, because they ADVERTISE. This might be something Scomm just might have to do in the future to help pay for some of the mobility that is offered here. I'm...

    Phonak Naida V UP

    Ian, Try searching for Naida here, you will find a lot of info on the subject, especially from me. Depending on what situations you have problems in, most can be resolved with the different program modes. I usually keep my setup in auto (soundflow) mode, but I also have a separate Speech in...

    new hearing aids possibly and more

    Lucky you!! They are $450 USD for me if I get them, but I think it's too bulky to carry around. They have smaller versions, but I think it's for other types of Phonaks.

    I don't remember if you need a remote control, or you will be able to control the mic direction with only the aids??

    Phonak Naida

    I am using the Smartlink SX with 2 ML10i FM receivers. I seem to have good use for my Smartlink with the cell phone, but have a few issues trying to set it up as a headphone accessory with my PDA, as I would like to use it as a MP3 player too. The newest Smartlink, the Smartlink+, has...

    Phonak Naida V UP

    It does take time to adjust the Naidas. Sometimes those adjustments are hindered by the wrong explanation of the sound quality. You have to be more precise in what you hear and in what environment. For example, I can have a problem with hearing female voices in a calm setting. I can say "...

    Phonak Naida V UP

    There really is no extra modules to install, you either have the slim version or the full version of the iPFG software. The full version has all the sound files to help create a simulation environment (you need surround sound type speakers) to recreate the sounds you might hear and make as...

    How to get my laptop to run faster.

    The worst that came come out of this is that the video card will not be good enough to run the Aero interface. Other than that fancy eye candy, it will be able to run, as that version is able to run Vista basic (it did on my Acer 3680) The Acer website does not have support for Win 7 drivers...

    Phonak Naida

    I don't think you will have to buy the software, just the hardware to connect to it. The iCube that connects the Naida to the iPFG software is hard to purchase, as Phonak restricted its sales to to authorized users. If you can find it, you can get a HiPro device and also cables that match the...
