Wow, this forum thread is still active. Good. OK, I am trying out two soft/head band BAHAs: Cochlear’s Baha 5 and Oticon Ponto 3 Super Power.
Cochlear’s Baha 5 had the same problem with my bone conduction Oticon Sumo DM digital hearing aid until the audiologist changed to music profile. Everything was SO much better. No annoying autofilters like volumes, feedback whistles with high pitch audios, etc. It was good enough like the analog bone conduction hearing aids. However, its hardware usability was annoying like no power off/stand by/mute without using a smartphone and taking its 675 battery out like I used to do.
So, I am trying an Oticon Ponto 3 trial/demo now. I like its hardware usability. However, I still need to gets its audio to be tweaked since I am still missing some sounds like my previous hearing aids. Hopefully, I will get this one tweaked enough to buy.
Other audiologists told me that I wanted linear audio like my analog. So those who hate digital like me, see if your audiologist can set up your digital hearing aids to use linear and music profile if they exist.
