Hi! I got the Siemens Nitro with the TEK about 2 weeks ago. Thus far, I am having a positive experience with it. I seem to be hearing more bass sounds which I did not hear much w/ my analog (Phonak Superfront). I'm able to pick up speech somewhat better (the other day I was paying for items...

Siemens Nitro update Someone else I talk to at times was working on getting the Seimens Nitro Siemens Hearing Instruments - Power of Nitro Hi there! I've got an appt to obtain the Siemens on Jan. 5th. When I get the aid (one aid) and the TEK, I will post an update. I've not been posting...

Seimens new HA product (Nitro) I will be getting the Nitro in January. I was going to get it this month but since I applied for the FSA (flexible spending account) to reflect the 2010 taxes, I figured I should take advantage of this. So, anyone wanting to hear my experience w/ the Seimen's...

Seimens new HA product (Nitro) I just got an email from my audiologist stating that the Seimens Nitro 300 and 700 series is available for consumers. I just e mailed the audiologist to order the 300 series. The Nitro 700 series is close to $3700 and has a 16 channel model. The 300 series is...

Deaf Drivers So, Japan still doesn't allow deaf drivers in their country? I'm surprised that country is one of the 26 countries not allowing the deaf to drive.:shock: India is another country that doesn't allow deaf drivers. However, NAD recently made a motion to allow the deaf to drive. I...

Hi, I came across an article stating that India may allow their "hearing impaired" drivers (I typically use the term D/HH) to receive permits soon. I've read in some articles that there are currently 26 countries that do not allow D/HH individuals to drive. Does anyone know which countries...

Seimens new HA product (Nitro) I forgot to add that when I spoke w/ the audiologist, it was mentioned that the new hearing aid product (if this is the product the audiologist was talking about) is supposed to be out THIS month . ..

Seimens new HA product (Nitro) I'm waiting for this product to come out. My audiologist said she'd call the headquarters to find out when she can expect this hearing aid in her office for me. IF this is the same product my audiologist was talking to me about last month, I will keep you...

Siemens Artis 2 Updated information Hi, I went to the audiologist's office today to have an adjustment done on the Artis 2. The audiologist and I were talking and I misunderstood her regarding the Artis 2 at last week's appt. Evidently, Siemens is coming out with a newer series that have...

I just saw the box in which the accessories come in at the audiologist's office. I go back on Thursday afternoon. When I go, I'll inquire again as I have some questions myself. Then, I'll get back to you w/ the info. However, I do know that it is approximately $500 (U.S. dollars) and the...

Siemens Do you have any of their bluetooth accessories? If so, how do you like them? I am currently testing out the Seimens Artis 2 and so far it's pretty good. I seem to be having better luck with this aid than with the Phonak Naida V UP. However, it may be early to tell.

Has anyone tried the Siemens Artis 2 SP?

Phonak Naida V UP I was told by an audiologist that digitals do make sounds 'softer' as opposed to analogs. Even with adjustments made to the digital aid ( Phonak Naida V UP on trial basis) have been made as close to my Phonak Superfronts, it's still not the same. The Phonak rep. also...

I, too, have the Phonak Superfront hearing aid and have worn that for years. The last one I purchase was last year's model and it's still good! I'm trying to get used to the Naida V UP and it's an adjustment for me! It's not the same for sure. I don't know if it's better but I will go for some...

Deafdude-- I haven't been on AIM for some time. Try "looking' for me on after 9:00 (pacific standard time) tomorrow night. . .

[/COLOR] Yeah--- that's true!! However, I think that when experimenting with hearing aids like I'm doing now, it might help to find out if there's really a dramatic difference between the analog and the digital hearing aid (for me, that its).

I can talk on the phone and have a conversation with relative ease providing I am used to knowing what that person's voice is like. I have shared on other posts that in the last decade or so, I've gotten more lax about using the phone because text messaging, emails, etc. have become more...

Per Deafdude, those are scores without your hearing aids? That's really good! I score 44% unaided and I have about a 95 dB loss in the speech frequency range in my right ear (left ear is 'dead'). I think I need to find out what my scores would be when aided. I can't believe I don't know this...

Sorry! Deafdude-- The above post was for you . . I tried color coding my answers. Obviously that didn't work! My apologies for making the above post VERY confusing to read. For those reading the above post-- I was responding to Deafdudes' questions and comments. : ) Wendy

None of my old audiograms gave me a speech discrimination score. Was that on spondee words? My 1998 audiogram, they tried spondee words but I wasn't getting most of them so they switched to numbers and I got many correct at 95db. My hearing also got worse from 1998, I used to hear at 100db at...
