Wow, that is expensive. I love playing grand pianos. Many times I would play in the practice rooms that have the little glass window in the door and I would see people standing there listening to me. That makes me more nervous though.I was wondering if they liked it or thought it was strange...

Hi everyone, I just read this and definitely can relate. i notice that first thing in the morning when i put my hearing aids in, that everything sounds really good. But just like some of you were saying, about halfway through the day and especially at night, I hear much worse than in the start...

Hi everyone. :) I definatly agree, the Phonak Naida hearing aids take a lot of adjusting to. They definatly are life changing when you have never heard above 3kHz and then have everything shifted down to 1.5 to 2k. Things can be confusing though and for me I have had to do a lot of learning...

Hi! Thanks for all the input and info. Yes your right the cut-off IS at 1.5k but what I was saying is that my audiologist set mine to be 2.5k, I do not know why, but he did. I also had him crank up the high freq to try and get more clarity in speech, but its not helping at all, in fact its...

I always enjoy music whether its my own or others. In my studio, I have a half stack with a decent sized speaker that is behind me so that the sound goes to the microphones of my hearing aids better. I also can feel the beat on the floor too which makes for a more inclusive experience of music...

Hi. I use the Phonak Naida V UP hearing aids. I am still having them adjusted a lot but things are a little better. I have heard things that I did not know make a sound and others things that were way too high freq for me before are now "appearing" where i can hear it. I can hear a dog tag for...

Tinnitus is a real pain in the a**. I have a severe to profound hearing loss and my tinnitus rings through my hearing aids. My hearing aids are Phonak Naida V UPs. My hearing aids are ultra-power and they are really strong and I can still hear it mostly in my worse ear. I also hear extra tones...

Hi everyone. i can relate with you all on this issue. I was born 3 months early and weighed 1lb 6oz. I think the meds they gave me to keep me alive killed my high freq hearing so i have never heard it. I have a synthesizer keyboard that I create waveforms with and I formed a square waveform and...

Hello all. I had a difficult start to wearing hearing aids. I was born with high freq hearing loss, but could manage without hearing aids until I was 13 and I have always had severe ear infections and plague in my eardrums since birth. I went to an ENT and was told that I had to get hearing...

Hi ! I can relate to this issue! I use Phonak Naida V UP hearing aids and I am a musician and composer of 20 years, I am 26 now. Anyway I used analogue hearing aids before (phonak superfront is my fav) but now that i have changed to Naida V UP, I do not like the music program much. I am so...

Great story. i have to agree, Fourier analysis is what the brain does well. I use Fourier analysis in synthesis theory for waveforms in analogue subtractive synthesis. Sometimes when I'm programming a sound that has a lot of even and odd harmonics, my hearing aids freak out in the higher...

Hello! Awesome to find other musicians here. I have played the piano and synthesizer since I 6 and started writing music when I was 9 and produced 2 CDs with my twin sister (also deaf) by the time we were in middle school. I also play the Cello, flute, dulcimer, bass and program synthesizers to...

Rock on! Great Job. Really enjoyed the video, great intonation and timing too.

Hello. Love this topic! I have been playing the piano and synthesizer (electronic waveform generator with user programmable parameters for creating new waveforms into sounds, with keys) since I was 6 and started writing music at age 9 ( taught myself). My hearing was better then and I could hear...

I have used Phonak picoforte hearing aids, then Oticon powerplus 425, and Phonak Superfront ( the Best and warmest sound with some power to it) and my new hearing aids are the Phonak Naida V ultrapower hearing aids ( powerful frequency transposing and digital). I also used a ComTek FM. I...

Hello everyone. I am deaf-blind and lost my vision first and then my hearing. A lifestyle change will certainly happen but won't completely change everything. I use sign language (pse because I grew up with mild hearing impairment that became severe later) and braille and large print. Everyone...

Synthesizers are sound generators and they are programmed by the user by programming specific parameters of waveforms. Every sound in the world can be broken down into a sine wave. (similar to the sound you hear in a hearing test) lol They use pure tone sine waveform because it travels best in...

Hello everyone. I am 26 and have been composing music since I was 6 years old. I started teaching myself to play the piano and taught myself how to compose as well. I have a twin sister who is also deaf-blind and we have a band named "jumelle". I started losing my the rest of my hearing later...

Hello everyone. I got my Phonak Naida hearing aids a few days ago and have likes and dislikes. I love how I can hear high frequency things that I have never heard before such as my sister's guide dog tags, doors creeking, the "ting" of metalic objects. I also can hear a few more notes on a piano...

I had phonak analogue hearing aids for 14 years and they still work. I do not wear them now because my hearing loss is so bad. I now wear Phonak Naida V UP. So far the Naida's are much better at the lower frequencies but are more noisy in loud environments. I lOVE the fact that I can hear high...
