My daughter just now yelled at me.. Told me that if I had hung just a little longer with the digital I would be just fine. She was saying that I was hearing everything that they heard and that was good. She says that even if I were to try later to move to digital that I would have a much harder time. She tells me that I am not ever going to get over this.. I am not a CI candidate. For me, the audiologist tried to set it to where I needed to be but even then things were off including the music. It was very upsetting to be told that everything will sound different and that some music I may not enjoy anymore. I was just done with all the tweaks. My own voice was very low in the settings I had and even my kids/husbands was different. I just missed what I knew. I know I can say with out a doubt I was just an emotional mess.
Digitals didn't work for me. I used analogs. The cheapest analog repair I used for about ten years is Lloyds. lloydhearingaid.com They took care of now obsolete aids and repaired them. Customer service is very good and it is a family-owned business. I explored local repair shops and they were all too expensive.
I truly feel your pain. I was fitted with analogs many, many years ago. I tried a couple of digitals but they're trickier to fit. I was on a countdown to going deaf (my analogs were dying) knowing the CI was a very, very scary option for me.
