Sorry that I haven’t checked in sooner. It seems the site has been up and down a lot and i was giving myself time with the Acrivas. I go back to Costco for my first follow up.
So far I’m amazed and very happy. They are surprisingly comfortable and sounds seem natural, without that “amplified” quality yet clear.
I’ve tried to put myself in various listening situations. I’ve been to a play, a concert and many social group situations. All very noticeably improved.
As far as speech-in-noise goes, I don’t experience a muting of other sounds but, for example, I’m hearing a person that I’ve had a very hard time understanding from across a table, and for the first time not needing to ask “what” several times.
I’ve had the the four programs set as follows:
auto
voice in sound
music
telecoil
the only one I haven’t played with is Telecoil but will when I get the chance.
i have a new audio gram which I will post soon since my hearing has declined quite a bit. It has always helped me in reading these forums to see if the poster’s lose is similar to mine.
i know that I’ve reached “profound” in one hear.
All for now,
Tobi
