I’ve been pretty busy in the past 5 months, so much that I just realized the other day I only have a month before the return window is closed. I started out loving these hearing aids, I reviewed them here. Looking at it, My Jabra Enhance Pro 20 review - Hearing Aids - Hearing Aid Forum - Active Hearing Loss Community (hearingtracker.com) things have really changed.
I got these the week I had a holiday party, and was amazed that I could hear so much better in noise.
Over the past couple of months I have noticed, and apparently my whole family has noticed, that I seem to not be hearing so well. I give them a “HUH?” what seems like more times than not, even in a pretty quiet setting. What really got me thinking about my hearing quality was a banquet a few weeks ago. It wasn’t super loud but at the same time it wasn’t quiet. To the left was my wife and to the right was another woman that my wife was talking to. I could understand 90% of what my wife was saying, but I believe she was used to talking a little loud, the other woman was talking, I was dropping every 3rd word or so but my wife could hear her just fine.
Last night I brought up that I was going in for another fitting appointment today. To my surprise, my wife said she thought I should just return them. She says that in her eyes they have been nothing but trouble, that they seem like a step down from how I was hearing in my Phonak Marvel’s.
At my company party in the first week, I was amazed how well I could hear, now I again dread going to any place that has a lot of noise. Overall it’s depressing as hell. I’m not 50 yet and I feel like my hearing loss is going to anger me the rest of my life. I have mild to moderate loss, and I can’t imagine things being any worse.
I can’t complain about Costco. The fitting appointments went great and they were all helpful.
I have a few weeks until my 6 months. I really want these to work out, I just don’t want to be stuck hearing like crap for the next 3 years util I cough up more money for the newest tech.
