Hi All,
I am writing on behalf of my father who is in his mid-eighties and has profound hearing loss. He has worn hearing aids since his 20s. In the past year, he's been through a difficult time with a pair of Naida hearing aids that were malfunctioning. He finally received a new pair and they seem to be working well for him, but when he speaks on the phone, the person on the other end hears everything they say echoed back to them. So, while my dad is able to communicate better now, communication is significantly impaired for the person he is speaking to on the phone. For instance, if I say, "How did your appointment go?", I hear that question echoed back loudly. If he answers immediately, I am struggling to hear what he is saying over top of my own echoed back voice.
If anyone has had experience with this, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
