Hi all,
As most people here can probably relate, I have difficulty hearing in noisy situations. I am trying to work out if I should upgrade my Phonak Audeo Paradise P90 hearing aids to the Lumity platform OR purchase the Phonak Roger On IN V2 device.
What do you think?
Very individual.
Do you currently have a Roger?
Have you tried different fitting formulas?
Speech in Noise is massive between different fitting formulas for me.
Can you trial them?
I don’t have or have not used a Roger before. What are fitting formulas? My audiologist hasn’t mentioned anything like that before.
If I trial them, I have to pay fully up-front unfortunately. On another note, I know the Phonaks’ tend to release a new version every 2 years. Is there any roadmap or has anyone heard about what might be coming?
It’s hard to say what you should do.
I find my Phonak P70 extremely muted in terms of background noise but like you, others still struggle.
Link shows what the fitting formulas are.
Phonak have NAL 1 which I use as well as APD 2.0 and some others. There’s quite a few to choose from.
I have had my Phonak Audeo Paradise P90 aids for two years and became complacement that I could not participate in conversations in any laud restaurant settings. The purchas of the Roger On In ver 1 changed everything. They are expensive but for me, enabled me to resume participation with friends in noisy environments,
Really nice to hear. Thank you.
This is interesting stuff. I’ll have a chat with my audi.
I found the L90s to be a big improvement over the P90s in most respects, including speech in noise. (I now use the latter as backups.) I personally am not a fan of accessories because I never seem to have them when I need them, and they’re just another device to remember to keep charged. Good luck!
