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 life been able to hear the sounds "s", "sh', "ch", or tell the difference between "k" and "t", "e" "c" and so on. So, when I first got my Naidas, I started hearing the "sh" sound a little and the "s" sound just sounded like an extra static sound on the ends of words. Anyway, my family is getting frustrated with me lately since I seem to be going backwards in my hearing. I dont know whats up. An example, my friend said the word "warm" but I heard "worm" and she laughed at me. I cant tell the difference between "yes" and "no" and "over" and "under" and I am answering questions wrong way more than usual, thinking I heard one thing and not the other. If someone says the alphabet out loud, B,C,D,E,G,P,V,Z,T, all sound the same, almost no difference. A, U, I ,Y, O, , are easier. M and N sound the same as well as "F" and "S", no difference. I keep trying to listen closely and its not working lately. I am visually impaired so sometimes people are too far away (more than 2 ft away is too far) and I cant speech read them. I feel like when I was younger when I had to "let things go" and just accept that whatever was said will be a mystery and I will never know what it was.
I feel like maybe I am expecting too much from my hearing aids and my hearing right now.
Since my hearing aids are Naidas, could this all just be a filter issue? I have had my hearing aids for a year now, my tubes and ear molds need to be changed and the filters over the microphones need to be changed as well. Could this be the problem? I am also being told that I am talking too loud again. Frustrating.
