the description on phonak.com of the Supero 412 BTE is that it is the "most powerful Phonak digital BTE instrument". Phonak hearing systems - Digital Supero 412
this is for Phonak... does it mean it's the most powerful BTE that phonak has? are there any other companies that might hold even more powerful hearing aids? the Supero 412 says:
Max. gain 86 dB
Max. power output 145 dB SPL
i can't hear sounds at a normal conversation level (although maybe 60/65 dB or higher) with this BTE anymore. my audiologist thinks i should just get a CI and i agreed since it's been a lingering possibility for over a year. i signed the consent form for that a few weeks ago. but i was wondering if anyone had some additional information? the waitlist for the CI is eight months and i'm getting tired of not being able to understand people; i know ASL so it doesn't suck, but the problem is that people still expect me to hear, and THEY don't know ASL.
