I just joined the forum and haven't seen any threads on the above mentioned hearing aids. I've worn analogs my whole life since age 5 and I'm now 44 - just purchased these in November and I absolutely hate them. I have moderate to severe loss in my left ear and moderate to profound loss in my right ear.
My observations: first the aids themselves are a pain to have to clean and they're not as easy as the BTE analog versions, secondly, I can no longer hear on the phone and have people shutting my bedroom door when I watch TV because "it's too loud." I wish I heard better and I miss being able to raise and lower the volume and turn it on and off to shut out sound (you have to open the battery to do that). The best part is when I play my guitar, I completely lose sound and I find it happens in general though out the day; everything just seems quieter, not "state of the art." My family frequently wonders if I have them on because of the noise level coming from my room - I do by the way, hoping to get used to this but it's not working for me.
Does anyone else have experience with these models?
