re: Are you actually considering changing from a HA to a PSAP?
No, but I have been following EARGO’s information periodically. I think their form factor is interesting, and a year or so ago I sent for a free sample they send out to allow folks to determine what their aid feels like when inserted, etc. I have shied away from in the canal devices, since I tend to have a lot of ear wax. EARGO’s device seems like it would help to clear out wax.
Also, when their device first came out I believe it was much more attractively priced. I assumed that the price would be coming down once their user base increased. And it looked like for a small fee they would customize the settings per the results of individual test results. I thought it could end up being an inexpensive aid that might have similar results to the aids I was wearing at the time.
A couple of things have moved me away from this. First, the EARGO cost has increased. Second, my hearing seems to be trending downward. Third, I’m fairly happy with my Trax42s.
Still, it seems to be an interesting device.
