    Phonak Naida

    I had the same experience that you are having. There is a filter in the ear hooks that contributes to this muting that you are describing. My aid quit on me 4 weeks after getting it and it turned out the filter in the ear hook was the culprit. Even thought I put the aid in a dry aid kit every...

    SkullChick - All observations were made with product on hand I can only assume the product I looked at that day may have been an older model which would have led me to the above Pros and Cons. Hear Again - My bad the AB had the most electrodes Thanks both oh you for the corrections I do...

    Maxit Bluetooth Neckloop

    Anyone else using the Maxit Bluetooth Neck Loop? I saw that they have a new Maxit Pulse (How the MaxIT Bluetooth Loopset works) that is A2DP enabled and wondered if you can hear Music on the Cell phone with it. The Classic which is what I have doesn’t do anything but Cell phone calls.

    Update: I’m still waiting for a surgery date due to DARS Austin taking their time on getting my application completed. While waiting I’ve been fitted with a Phonak Naida V UP for my right ear, jury is still out on weather I like it or not. The sound suppression takes some getting use to, think...

    Phonak Naida

    RE: Phonak Nadia Well since my last post in this thread I've met with a wonderful lady at the Deaf Action center in Dallas and she got me hookedup with a DARS rep. 10 appointments later I'm now in line to get CI for my left ear (The weakest). So now I will be half CI and Half HA. Can't wait......

    I got 72% correct for online sentence matrix

    I got 83% at normal speed with both maleand female with medium background. I think my score was really based on the visual ques (the words). Had the words not been there I know my score would have been much worst.

    Candidacy for CI

    For what it is worth my 2 cents. I myself wear HAs and I’m a lip reader so I’m always getting whiplash during group conversations or swerving on the road because I have to look at the person in the passenger seat. Imagine carrying on a conversation at the dinner table while lip reading (ugh)...

    Cochlear implant average aided scores: 40db?

    Would this qualify as Bionic Hearing!!

    How bad must your own hearing be before you consider CI?

    Where I'm at now. Currently seeking CIs have two HAs and I'm Severe to Profound lost. During testing my Audi did the word recognition at normal speech frequency and no amplification. I had my aids in and still Got zero words right.

    The surgeon and Audi both recommended doing one at a time so I guess that is the route I'm going. Once my DARS Councilor gets the paper work together I will be moving forward. Think I'm going to go with the Cochlear Americas product. Thanks everyone for sharing the info.
