Audioscapes - Machine Noise, Wind Noise, Quiet settings in Starkey aids?

[Lincoln]

@Jeff_Hall

Hi Lincoln,

The audioscapes have presets or “defaults” which are determined based on the memory the aid is in, but the way they function (per memory) can be altered however you or your hearing professional desire. I don’t think you’ll have a problem with wind noise with either of these products. A lot of my clients are golfers/cyclists/outdoor enthusiasts and I just haven’t had many complaints of wind noise with the 3 Series.

Was the wind noise reduction enabled for those clients or left off? Is it disabled by default in the Normal Preset?

I own the wi series and there is even wind noise when I reach down to tie my shoes! Their algorithm seems very off , especially since it accentuates highly on sharp , machine and clanking sounds. Their over amplification can be quite annoying and seems more damaging to hearing on the long run.

What type of aid are you wearing, BTE, RIC, etc? I wonder if the type of model you’re using is a factor. Due to the severity of my loss I would either have to use a BTE or a power receiver in canal aid.
