There is some technical jargon that audiologists know that we as a consumer do not know readily. For example there is "too bright, soft, muffled, unintelligible, booming, echo", etc. You need to explain each situation at hand, for example, if I have a hard time understanding a person (echoing)...

I have been down the road you are speaking of too. The Naida has so many adjustments, it can be a bit overbearing for some. Once they are finally set right, it is awesome. The Speech in Noise can fix this problem you are speaking of by using the directional microphone output, that way...

The FM receivers are Phonak ML10i and are added to be "built-in", meaning the battery compartment is also the receiver. The Smartlink can be used for bluetooth, but the difference is Smartlink connects as "mono" sounds and iCom connects as "stereo". I can't tell the difference though...

I have the Smartlink SX and two FM receivers for both ears, but if you wanted to purchase these out of pocket, this with come in the range of $2500-$3000. The iCom in contrast is around $350 (plus around $700 for a single FM receiver) on average. The FM for the iCom is not a necessary...

If you need any more info that I can research for you, you're welcome to PM me.....

In addition, the more profound the hearing loss is, it's more difficult to have the hearing where it needs to be. The Naida can be adjusted to almost perfection, but it does take time....FYI....I've had my aids for about a year now.....my biggest complaint is the time it takes to make an...

yes, it's possible for your whistle to be masked by the wind noise program, if it's set to high. You should be able to hear yourself whistle, if your aids are set up right. It seems that your audi is not very knowledgeable in the Phonak iPG software, which configures yours and other Phonak...

Not directed to me, but I use 64 bit Vista/Seven

There's also a different type of Chrome browser , called Iron. It's open sourced from Chromium, which is the same as Google Chrome, minus Google's "big brother" approach in spying on your surfing habits. That's what I'm using now and it's also very fast!! Here's the link: SRWare Iron - The...

I remember having a step backwards also. The Phonak rep decided to input a program she devised to help remove the background noises I had complained about. It ended up removing the bass sounds that make up parts of the speech sounds and I could not hear my wife speaking intelligibly (maybe...

They used it to prevent the moisture from coming from the ear to the hearing aid (severe cases, I suspect) I plan to get them removed unless the sound quality doesn't make a difference....

I already brought up the issue with my audi. The more sounds that reaches my ear at my stage of profound hearing loss (90-120dB, ski slope), the better of I am. It's even possible that the filters are distorting the sounds somewhat. Any kind of medium that is between a source and destination...

Hi, I, too, have had my issues with my aids at first. It took me about 5 major and 5 minor (cosmetic program adjustments) adjustments to get the aids where I want them. Best way to get the aids adjusted properly is write down all the issues you have with the aids, ie. female voices...

From what I have read and experienced with my Naidas, it is common for a long time analog user to have some difficulties adjusting to the digital aids. It took me about 6 major adjustments to have a great fit with my Naidas. To lessen the amount of adjustments, I suggest writing down all the...

Regarding wind noise, you will have to increase the windblock settings. Regarding the "underwater" sounds, it's possible that he may need the bassboost increased, but I think you will need the audiologist to make that determination. There are settings on the iPFG software used to make the...

Well, FYI...the meeting went w/o a hitch...had a good turnout!! BTW, The UbiDuo devices are ready for anybody that needs the access at the Sam's Club off IH35 and Judson rd., which is just inside the the city limits of North San Antonio, Texas off Interstate 35 South. I'm also trying to...

Same here.....I have never tried the Sumos, but am about a year in using the Naida V UP aids. My only current complaint is the ear molds do not last more than a year before I have to replace them. I have a ski slope loss starting from 90 to 110.... as for having the aids turned off, you can...
