Thread: Hearing aids

If I did get any hearing aids, I would differently want be able to want turn down the volume, or off. Don't know if they make such things.

In that manner, I can go about town going about my business not caring what folks have to say. I have my own observations, and enjoy my thoughts. I'll communicate in my own way. What I'd what miss is the dogs bark and the birds signing. What I find interesting is those many folks never heard a spoken work, many out there. Some very intelligent, there a couple I know. No telling what's on their mind.

Mine are NuEar. 4 channel, regular, crowds, wind noise and one other. They have volume control activated by cell phone up and down. 6800.00 a pair. They don't go fishing much.

My Resounds are controlled by an app on my iphone. 4 differenent programs, bass, treble, volume (either or both) and a bunch of filters, and other controls. I know some other brands have this also, but only the higher $ models.

I am on my second set. First set was the fit in your ear type and I didn't like them. When talking it sounded like I had my fingers in my ears. Felt like I was yelling but everyone said I was soft talking.

Last time I tried Miracle Ear and am much happier. I got the ones that fit behind your ear and the little wire goes inside. Works much better although they still don't work as well as I'd like. I can hear birds and insects that I can't without them and things are louder but I still can't make out conversation sometimes (particularly in a noisy environment).

Best thing about Miracle Ear is the service. I have 2 years no questions asked replacement coverage and free batteries. I opted for the more expensive ones that come with a charger and they were $3000 each. Ouch!

I've had them for over 15 years. I tried the behind the ear type but I can't keep them on. I was forever knocking them loose, taking sunglasses on and off, pulling a sweater over my head, etc. I had to stick with the in the ear type, however, I believe the behind the ear give better results.
They are not a cure all like glasses. You don't put them on an have 20/20 hearing. You will still struggle in loud noisy situation like restaurants, etc. You can lessen that by choosing to sit with back to wall instead of middle of floor. Overall I am much more comfortable wearing them than not.
When I first got mine I realized I had not been hearing sounds like crickets chirping, or rain falling in the woods.
Mine are Phonaks from my local Doctor.

Thanks for the replys.....gives me something to think about and also ask questions about. Should get this all worked out Thursday next week.

Went and got checked out....got a pair of ReSound behind the ear Premium models on order....should be here next week.
