Aaargh. Didn't realize that. It's always something, eh? But...I think I'd still prefer that to something around my neck. I definitely need to eval it. Do you use the Pen? How long does a charge last on the Pen for normal use? Will it last a full day? Can additional charging bases be purchased...

How would you compare the two options? I'm going to ask to trial the Roger system (integrated receiver and probably the Pen to start) also as it suits my lifestyle better (no neck gear) but how would you compare the audio quality and ease of use?

Curious if you've used the ComPilot accessory. My audiologist has me trialing this. The problem I'm having is that while phone calls work fine, streaming audio (from any source, bluetooth or audio cable) is choppy and intermittent when the ComPilot is worn normally around my neck. The only way...

Thanks. My audiologist fitted me with a Naida B UP on Friday. He wasn't particularly helpful on the difference. He's not really a Phonak guy normally. so I'm a bit on my own with research. So far I'm liking the extra power I'm getting over my old Starkey RIC's.

I’m confused by the Naida B vs Naida V. Is the B a replacement for the V?

Wow. You’re moving quickly. Good luck to you! And please keep us updated on your journey.

I want to ask why you took a job that requires you to talk on the phone...and then tell your boss that you could talk on the phone...if in fact you can't talk on the phone. I think the problem isn't that you have issues with the phone, but that you specifically indicated that it wouldn't be an...

Interesting. Good tip!

Yeah, I was looking at the Select. That seems like a good solution for my office. I could place it near the door since so many people stop there and talk to me from across the room. Having a remote mic placed there might work out really well. Question, if you have two devices...say a pen and...

I work in a professional office situation and simply am not going to wear a device dangling around my neck. Even if it worked adequately beneath a shirt my office attire doesn'tt lend itself to gaining access to it easily if I needed to. In casual situations, well, having something dangling...

Right. @floridadude, did your ENT doc mention this at all? When I lost my left ear overnight the ENT immediately brought that up as an option. Given your situation I'd look into it even if it's not something that you think you'd like to do today. It would be a big step and the first part of it...

Thanks. It's becoming clearer. The web site does a good job in some respects in describing the individual items but it's difficult to piece it all together. My take is that I'd need the Roger receiver (I'd get the one that integrates into the Naida V itself) and that allows me to choose from...

Thanks. I’ll test the Naida’s. If I like the aids themselves I’ll look into the Roger devices. I just can’t see myself wearing a lanyard device around everywhere. How familiar are you with the Roger accessories? Can the Roger Pen duplicate everything the ComPilot does? That seems like an...

Well, on the up side it sounds as if the whole “not eligible for a CI” is based on your residual hearing, not that your underlying condition prohibits it medically. You use the term province so I’m guessing that you're not in the US. I certainly can’t speak to the candidacy for such things in...

Other than something to actually restore natural hearing, I agree with a powerful and accurate speech transcription technology. I’ve tried several things along those lines but they simply aren’t reliable/accurate enough to be useful. I tried one recently during a conference call with a studio...

That sucks, Floridadude. How was your hearing prior to that? I lost all the hearing (in my bad ear) overnight a few weeks ago. My “good” ear is a 110bB loss. My bad ear is just gone. If you haven’t seen an ENT please do so. They may try steroid injections directly into the eardrum. This seems...

So I've got a trial of a Phonak Naida V coming and they've got the ComPilot coming with it as I need phone integration and audio streaming. Reading about this everything suggests that it MUST be worn around the neck for it to work. I get the the lanyard is an antenna, but is it true that the...

Looks like an old thread popped to the top.... Absolutely, I'd be first in line for a cure for my deafness. I'd run over my own mother...well maybe not my own mother, but I'd run over yours...to get my hearing back. I do agree with some earlier comments that the late deafened are certainly...

No question. I was hired at my current company with greatly diminished hearing, but with HA's could still more or less function without anyone having to make many accommodations. Since then my hearing has degraded such that even with HA's I'm nowhere near able to do that. I definitely could not...

Yeah. I had an updated hearing test at the audi a couple of weeks ago when they said I was down to a 110dB loss, with 60% speech discrimination in one ear, and 0 in the other. As I was talking to them the audi commented that I must be pretty good at lip reading. I'd never really thought about...
