I plan on making a trip to the audiologist to get new filters, since now my hearing aids are 'shorting out' with any kind of static, even my hair makes them short out and stop working altogether. This happened a lot when I first got them, with new filters and all. My sister too had this issue...

hi. :) Hhmm, thats really interesting, sounds kind of dangerous to have a broken microwave though. I certainly hope that my hearing aids dont have a defect, becuase both my hearing aids as well as my sister's hearing aids have the same issue. It would be a crazy situation for 4 Naida V...

Hi :) Well, the filters are only there to help with wind noise, and to make the hearing aids 'water resistant'. The filters dont really change the way everything sounds or is amplified until they need to be changed. Mine are over a year old now, and they must be replaced, but until I can get...

Hi. :) Well, I thought it was the filters too, but its impossible. My sister's hearing aids, the same as mine, still have the filters in them, and she can hear the sun and lightbulbs too. I can too with and without the filters in. Hey, free Sirus radio on the hearing aids? sweet idea. LOL...

Hi. :) I live with a hearing friend and she cant hear it at all either. I am trying to think of a way to connect my hearing aids to a recording device on the computer and then go outside in the sunlight and record it so that the audie can hear it for themselves too.

Hi. :) I do have synestesia yes, but my name is SynthFreq becuase I program and compose music (my whole life) with electronic musical synthesizers from the 80s. Also 'Freq' means 'frequency' as well as it sounds like the word 'freak' so I used the word 'freq' as it relates to synthesizers, and...

Well, this issue never happened with my old hearing aids at all. I have worn hearing aids for 14 years and this is a first. This started happening when I first got my hearing aids and everything was brand new, filters as well. I noticed this but didnt think much of it and as the months went by...

Hi everyone. I have noticed a bit of a creepy situation with my Phonak Naida hearing aids. As i have said in other posts, I have 2 awesome purple Naida V UPs. I recently took the filters out since they are so old that I was starting to have trouble hearing anything at all. Since I removed the...

Awesome. thanks for the info. :) Roland synths are awesome, as is the A-90. If the tuner is to be plugged in, should it be plugged into the synthesizer's left mono jack? or the right stereo? I would try both, but I was going to choose Left Mono first, since the amp lines are always used in...

Hi. That is a neat idea about the tuner. Can a tuner calibrate the frequencies of all 88 notes? or does the volume of each note effect the tuner? Higher frequencies have very little power behind them. As far as monitors, I currently use a regular amp speaker that is about 14 years old and a...

Hi, my hearing loss is sensory neural with some conductive issues too. I was born 3 months early, died 3 times and was given meds that were toxic to my hearing, central nervous system and vision. I was supposed to have hearing aids at 4 years old for a moderate hearing loss but that never...

Yeah, that is true. I always get the "I SAID!!...." all the time if I dont understand something that is said. My friend likes to yell even louder if I dont understand her. She knows sign and we use PSE all the time, very fluently but I try to hear/understand speech first then, if I can't, then...

Hi. :) Yes, I can use speech reading if someone is less than 3ft away. I also use sign language (PSE) and some ASL when I am in a noisy environment or when I turn my hearing aids off. If I am in a poorly lit environment then I use tactile sign language or a Braille computer (Braille Note...

Hi. :) The sounds that I mentioned are sounds that I have never heard very well or at all. The higher frequencies have always been silent to me until I got my Phonak hearing aids. I can hear things like coins, and other metal objects if I hold them near my hearing aids. I think that I am now...

Hi, :) My name is Danielle and I wear 2 purple Phonak Naida V UPs. I love my hearing aids and i can hear a lot with them. These past few days though have been rough. I seem to not be hearing as well and understanding speech is starting to be a real frustration for me again. I have never in my...

@Anij :) Yes the idea of an old or broken hearing aid with a functioning "t" coil is helpful and I have a set of 14 year old hearing aids from when my hearing was better. I cant hear with them now, but they have dead microphones in both of them. I dropped one and stopped working, the other just...

Hi Anij :) Thanks for your reply. Lots of helpful info. My tinnitus is so loud that the only thing that helps 100% are my hearing aids on "t". I tried listening to the tv but it has to be so loud, that my hearing room mate could still hear it through headphones, in the next room. lol Both my...

Hi. I have a severe to profound hearing loss in both ears and wear Phonak Naida V UPs hearing aids. I can not stand the term "hard of hearing" it sounds like a really old term for hearing loss. It seems more like a term that older people say a lot when referring to their age related hearing loss...

Hi Naisho. :) I think that maybe I am hearing the result of my hearing aids transposing frequencies that I can not hear, into ones that I can. When I play notes that are out of my hearing range, the notes start to sound as if they are 1/2 of a cent apart instead of what they actually are. Its...

Hi. :) My name is TSF (Danielle) and I wear 2 purple Phonak Naida V UPs. I find that when I wear the Icom that goes with my hearing aids, and I play my synthesizers and my digital midi controller (Roland A-90), that everything sounds very rich, clean, and as if its CD quality sound. The strange...
