After I fitted my mother’s Phonak Audeo B90’s with a Compilot Air 2, she told me that she tested the Lumity 90 series and the amount of Waddayasay’s decreased noticeably and comfort increased. So she wanted them, but only if I tested them and wanted them, too. Suddenly I am thinking of new aids without the usual considerations of pricetags. Very odd. Normally I scrounge them on eBay or wherever and get last series topmodels for less than a quarter of the price.
My first thought is that I am not up to speed with the other brands. I’ve don’t know what Oticon and Widex and Resound are doing. Did they bring new lines of aids out around the same time as Phonak Lumity series? Did they develop in different directions as the Phonak? Is it worth it to test all 4? I remember doing it when I got my Bolero B90’s. It was quite a lot of work.
Another question is whether the change from my current Phonak Marvel Audeo 90’s to Lumity 90’s is relevant enough? People wearing Paradise aids, don’t really see the need to change over, it seems. Is the change from M90 to L90’s worth it? However, testing them will answer that.
So my main question is what is the competition doing and is it worth checking out?
Also remade the custom molds. I am making certain that the M90’s are at their best, so that the testing has a firm footing in a well functioning aid. Been hearing worse for a year, though. So it would be heaven if my decline can be offset with new technology.
