Just got it today. What a change over my ITE aids. The bluetooth function is especially awsome. I can now talk over the phone. Busy telling my friends to just call me. No more tedious texting. Aid came with one preset program, {automatic}.. I asked audi to give me one program with all the sounds magnified, {deer hunting}. She did. Spent over an hour figgering out how to make my phone sync with the compilot. I did not bring any instrutions for the phone with me. She finally figgered out the notifications chime had to be set to silent. So we ran out of time for more programming. I am on the 30 day tryout period. I am set to go back in ten days for another programming session. I love this HA. Getting my life back. Anyone else got this HA?
 
You went from an ITE aid to a UP?? holy cow that must be a gIgundous difference!!!!
 
Very big jump in power between ITE aid and Naida UP...
 
Yes it is a very big jump. I have power to spare. I had to get the audi to turn the volume down from where it was set from the manufacturer. I love the Compilot too. It is a god send to be able to answer a call without digging my phone out of my pocket. My speech comprehension also took a big jump. Being able to remotely control the volume with the Compilot is also a very big improvement. Adjusting both left and right volume at the same time is also a feature I like. Looking forward to seeing how many more improvements can be had with the Naidias. I will post more after the next programing session.

Good to always have power to spare. My left is maxed out with my right not far behind. Would love a more powerful aid.

I'm getting the Naida S V UP in September. It has the zoom which will help me big time! :)
 
Not sure, but I think mine has the zoom. I know it cuts background noise out almost completely. But then I have not been in a crowded restaurant either.
Getting more comfortable with my Naidia.
 
Zoom is where you need a my pilot to access and you can zoom in to the front, back, left or right.

You don't have zoom control on the III S UP as thats what I have now and it doesn't.

What you are talking about is sound flow and speech in noise.

daZ? Digital audio zoom? It just does it by itself.

The IX's can be programmed so the wearer can select to "zoom right" or "zoom left". So, if I'm driving with my window down and have trouble hearing my daughter (and want to hear her :giggle:), I could "zoom right" and it would mute my left HA so all sounds come just to my right ear.

I haven't used it much myself, but have my HAs set up to do it if I find a need.

It's completely different to digital auto zoom as LoveBlue says.

Pre spice, the IX only has it and the spice range, the V and IX has it.

To access it fully you need a my pilot.

:hmm: Conversely, you could zoom left and miss the stuff you didn't want to know. ;)

You would only zoom left if you were sat next to someone on the train and they were on your left for example. You would hear them better. There wouldn't be anything else that you would need to hear whiles you were talking.

She meant that I could zoom left and miss, on purpose, anything my daughter, on my right, was talking about. :P

It's only mutes you micophones but you would get the sound through on both sides. For example if you zoom left, it would mute the right micophones but you have what is being said on the left thought both aids.
 
what a big change!!!!!! I remember going from a piece of crap hearing aid to a more powerful hearing aid from Oticon :)
 
Found a chart and of course you are right. I do have the resound feature I believe, but not the sound relax or wind noise reducer. However at 30 mph on my tractor, which is open, I do not get any wind noise. I was surprised at that. I just could not afford the V. I just also upgraded my eyeglasses too, $500.00 dollars worth, {Zeiss lenses}. These HA's are such an improvment over my old ones, don't know if I could stand the lX. One thought. The nadia s lll UP I got does not come with but one card of #13 batteries. Instructions do not list features. I had to research to find out. Compilot manual is more pages than hearing aids. Blue tooth performance is outstanding.

I thought the UP took 675 batteries, do you have the SPs?
