Brand new user of HAs. Obtained a pair of Phonak Lumity L70s about a week ago. Never thought of myself as HI but it turns out I’ve been missing a lot.
This is probably a stupid question… But it’s been nagging at me, because these things cost me a fortune.
During my fitting, my audiologist asked me to stream music from my phone. The L70s were of course already in my ears. I started playing music – hard rock, no less – but had forgotten that the Bluetooth volume on my phone was at 100%.
The music fired into my eardrums at full volume for a few seconds. It was unpleasant, to say the least.
Is there a chance that I damaged the tiny speakers on the L70s? What makes me wonder is the fact that my voice and certain other things have a tinny, sort of distorted quality to them. But from what I read, that could also be the fact that my brain isn’t used to hearing at those frequencies.
