Hi.
My name is TSF (Danielle) and I wear 2 purple Phonak Naida V UPs. I find that when I wear the Icom that goes with my hearing aids, and I play my synthesizers and my digital midi controller (Roland A-90), that everything sounds very rich, clean, and as if its CD quality sound. The strange thing is that even with my hearing aids on and turned up, the notes in the lower and higher octaves that are starting to exceed my auditory range, sound very faint and out of tune, and I hear the noise of the key on the sample more than the note itself. I know its not the synthesizer since its digital and has no way of going out of tune. I actually have a hard time telling which notes are correct and I have to tell based on the key's shape and the chord progression that I am using. I was curious if anyone else notices this detuning issue. I was thinking that maybe its probably sounding that way since my hearing loss is worse at the lower end and the higher end of the frequency spectrum. Because of this issue, I have to record bass parts in a much higher frequency, then tune it back down once I want to record it to the sequencer. Same goes for the higher frequencies. I thought my hearing aids shifted frequencies to where I can hear them, but I guess there is a limit to which ones it can process. I record a lot of bass lines for my music and sometimes I will play in the completely wrong key and have no idea until I visually check it. Very frustrating.
Anyone else have this annoying issue?
