Has this been done on people yet? If not, about when is this going to happen? In a decade? I can't wait for this day. I don't want to wear hearing aids as they don't give any clarity, just loudness.

I'm not satisfied /w my CICs. I have top of the line Sonic Innovations digital CICs but I notice that sounds are just louder and not clearer when watching TV, hearing people talk, etc. And I feel like I'm in an enclosed space with the CICs on and sounds are more harsh (robotic so to say). Would...

My audiologist pick Sonic Innovations because he said they were the only manufacturer that had been able to show clinical benefit in speech understanding in noise through core processing (without directional microphones which are only available /w anything but CICs).

Looks like I'm going to be getting my CIC's soon. The brand is Sonic Innovations and model is Velocity. Who uses Sonic Innovations here? How do you like them?

How's everybody doing? Looks like I haven't been on this forum for a super long time and I'm doing so so. I notice that I'm getting tinnitus a bit frequent lately, does that mean anything? Is it normal? I do have hard of hearing but not deaf. I can listen to people talk. I own a motorcycle...
