    Getting my head in a mess with fitting ranges

    I do have to say that on my Solana MicroP, the battery door is rather fragile feeling. I don't know if it would be the same on the SP casing, but on mine I sometimes feel like I'm going to accidentally rip it off. So if you have impaired fine motor function or shaky hands, the Solana may leave...

    Getting my head in a mess with fitting ranges

    Yeah, that's what I meant, lol. Sorry! By the way, the only fitting range I could find for the Solana SP is this: Phonak Solana - Fitting | Phonak - life is on

    Getting my head in a mess with fitting ranges

    Plus, the Solanas come in thin tube all the way in the SP region. I seem to remember you mentioning that the regular tubes irritated your skin.

    Walking With Hearing Aids

    "Selective hearing"

    Yeah, my mom always gets mad when I ask her to repeat things. "You've got on 4000$ of hearing aids and you still can't hear? that was pointless!" And other things along that line, like hearing aids magically make your hearing normal again.

    hearing aids squeaks because of volume?

    I can hear it because I have a reverse slope loss, where most of my loss is in the lows and my high ranges are almost at normal hearing levels. As far as whistle block goes, if he's wearing Phonak like I always have, then whistleblock should have been run after his fitting and before she did the...

    New Phonak Spice

    I have the Cassias, which are one level below the Solanas as that's all my VocRehab would pay for, but they're pretty good honestly for entry level aids. I've been having a bit of trouble with a strange high pitched echo in one, but I have a reverse slope loss and hear high tones at an almost...

    Telecoil

    It was just really loud, louder than any of the other buses I had been on listening to music. And right after I read it in a post here, I got zapped by a theft security thing at the library. I yelped really loudly and everyone looked at me like I was nuts. I can't imagine an airplane! Shudder...

    Hypermobile Eardrum

    I'd say use your 30 day trial wisely, and if there's even a chance that your loss is progressive, go for the SP. :)

    Telecoil

    No, it was playing -over- the music on my T-coil, like, I had t-coil headphones on and it was really loud over the music. It only happens on the bus.

    Telecoil

    So I got on the bus this morning to go grocery shopping listening to music with telecoil hooks and my aids on T. The bus started going and suddenly there was this loud, high pitched whinging. After a few moments, I realized the noise coincided with the movement of the bus. Like, when we sped up...

    Hypermobile Eardrum

    Yeah, they just came out here in the US less than a month ago is what my audi said, VocRehab paid for mine here in the US, but apparently they're not any more expensive then Phonak's previous generation was from her.

    Hypermobile Eardrum

    I have Phonak Solana MicroP aids, I barely made the higher frequencies on it, but the microM wasn't quite going to make it in the lows.

    Mine may be, they're unsure.

    New Phonak Spice

    Really all you have to do is whine enough. I have friend whose audi made her try the domes, and she frowned and complained and whined when she tried them on on a model pair, so they got her mold. I have really sensitive ear canals, just getting impressions for molds done makes me cough and gag...

    New Phonak Spice

    I just went and looked-really cool! The only thing I've found myself not liking about these is that the battery door is really flimsy, I feel like I'm going to break it every time I open it.

    New Phonak Spice

    I was super suspicious when she pulled them out of the box and unscrewed the hooks. Like, "If you're expecting me to go open fit and ordered me wrong, I'm going to have some not nice things to say to you." But nope! It was surprising. it does suck about the colors though! I wanted zebra really...
