I’ve been wondering these last few days if some of the issues I’ve been having with my hearing aid (excessive volume & noise-floor-type hissing) could be because my Costco Audiogram could be over-diagnosing my actual loss?
In my profile is the recent Costco one, and here is one I had done at Amplifon only 5 months earlier:
I find it hard to believe that both of my ears had changed that much - around 10-20dB in parts - in 5 months, or is that within an acceptable margin for error (particularly if you have tinnitus)? Yes I know of course that is possible, I just don’t believe it has worsened that fast in my case.
Has anyone taken a hearing test at two locations, for a second opinion etc, and then seen a sizable discrepancy in the results when comparing them (not knowing which one to believe)?
