I've not tested the HAs in a group situation. Talking to several individuals so far, I notice that their voices are noticeable louder which helps as a couple of them are quietly spoken. However the background noises are louder too and I find this distracting.
I never listen to the radio, but have been listening to my MP3 collection. An interesting effect is that initially the singing voices were a bit tinny and different - one of my favourite songs I didn't like anymore as the male singer sounded so different, almost like a lady! But after a while, the voices changed back to "normal". I wonder if this is the brain compensating in a similar way it does for CI users?
No, I've not tried them on the phone. Bit nervous as in the last year I've had to give up on the phone. I thought it was for good (I've now got a text relay phone). But I wonder if these new HAs will work? I don't want to raise my hopes...
Another feature I found out this morning it that the two HAs are remotely linked. If I change the program on one, the other automatically follows. Caught me by surprise! (I really should read the instruction manual...
)
