There are some more affordable options appearing here and there. I agree that the internet is contributing to a greater degree of transparency in HA pricing. In the past, our only option was audiologists and they get to set their own prices unlike, say, buying a car where you would more easily...

I just can't see any link to comment, reply, message, email. Please tell me it is so obvious I'm crazy:roll: OK?

DeafDude: I left my email on your blog followers site but still can't see how to comment to you. Call me,uh, well, whatever...

Another update....in the rarefied atmosphere of home, things were working well, but in the real world things needed to be different. My discrimination was not as good as I thought and relying on low end gain to compensate resulted in a lot of sound that obscured, rather than clarified, speech...

I have been able to spend a bit more time testing and eked a few more frequencies out by carefully and slowly making 1dB changes in frequencies I can hear in right around the edge zones. I am maxed (on HA gain) most of the way below 1.5k but I am hearing a lot more. Sadly, it isn't uncomfortable...

In just the short time since reprogramming, my speech discrimination with both wife and son has improved significantly. A lot. Unaided it is far worse and while the new HAs in their original program improved things for them, I was experiencing men's voices as much softer and less distinct. No...

Well, wow. I have just totally reprogrammed based on the thud test and it is pretty much the reverse of what had been entered originally. :ty: Feedbak is much better. Hearing is better and I gained tones in my right ear up to 1396 Hz and 1046 in my left. Before I changed things around and just...

Thanks, Bottesini. I know that many of you have far greater losses than I but for those who do still find some help with HAs, both OF models and the full mold models both offer a significant degree of amplification. That is part of what makes them interesting to me and perhaps to others too...

Deafdude. Dude. I just tried your thud test (after reading the dead zone material) and found some fascinating (to me) results. My left ear always tests worse than my right but they were almost identical with the left ear slightly better (!) at the upper limits of my hearing. Things die for both...

I have had a few days and some chances to try different situations as well as experiment with the programming capabilities. So far, these are better than any others I have ever had. That said, they are also much newer than my last ones and Should be better. I can use the telephone even without...

Well, part of the point for me is to try out an OF to see if it can compare to a mold. I have been wearing molds for ten+ years (and ITEs before that). If the feedback proves too much, I can always switch these for BTEs and molds. The company gives a 60 day trial period (as opposed to my former...

OK. Everything arrived yesterday afternoon and it has all been as described on their website. Everything worked. My initial impressions are positive in that I am definitely hearing a bit more detailed sound than I was with my old aids. They are much more powerful and seem quite comparable to the...

Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't know the right way to introduce myself, I guess. I just stated my facts at the very beginning of the post and launched into the topic of the thread. What I can assure you is that this is genuine, not any sort of spam whatsoever. It is based solely on my...

Anyone? Has "SPAM" somehow killed the thread? Tomorrow is The Day. If no one is interested in the process, I won't take the time to post about it.

Phi4Sius...I don't understand your comment...but I did check out your blog. Congrats on the success of your 360e!

As I understand it, the problem with open fit isn't power so much as feedback. The more open the fit, the shorter/louder the loop back to the microphones and I whistle to the world. However, the latest feedback techno has gotten quite sophisticated and one of the differences with the...

They are the ones although they do the initial programming and you can either try it yourself or work with them in either real time over the Internet or they will email you program changes based on your experiences. As I see it, (em)power(ment) in ways I've never had...They have just come out...

Hi. I'm brand new to this forum but a long time HA user. For the past thirty years or so I've been fitted with analog and digital ITE and BTE models and have experienced much of the frustration I read about here. While my loss is not as significant as many of you, my speech discrimination is...
