After much research I have decided to purchase Phonak Exelia BTE Micro open fit HAs. This decision was made after 5 months research etc.
If there is any interest, I shall follow up with a post here to let others know of my experience.
One area of challenge which I did not expect at all (foolish I suppose in looking back) was the variations in pricing from amazingly high (3,600 per aid) to low (2,000 per aid). Had I gone with initial pricing I truly could have been taken advantage of, plus put in many (more) weeks of overtime work hours to pay for such expense.
My sister, who has much more of a challenge than I (Cochlear Implant/Johns Hopkins Balt), did some research and guided me to excellent choices... The Phonak products were one of these.
I will also be getting the iCOM to enable the bluetooth functions with my cell phone and possibly TV set!
Are there any wearers of this aid/the iCOM on this board who would like to reflect on their experience. I will be new to this (though am extremely well read on this device) and would like to hear the ins and outs!
Thank you so much,
Rose
PS Again please let me know if any here are interested in viewing my review of these aids!
