what i want the used hearing for is to learn how they work. and how the fitting program work then i will go with new technology. i figure what i get from ebay will be about the technology i have now but if i mess up those devices i will not be out my current aids and the program in them. and it will help me learn the programs i use.
i’m not trying to improve my hearing with old aids but i should be able make changes i can detect and then by moving the settings around i can learn what works and what doesn’t work.
the aids i have now really don’t do anything for me. after 5 years the dr. still has not made them so i can hear. all they feel like is amplifiers. they make sounds louder or softer as i turn up the volume. and they are top line devices for the year i got them. i can’t hear in restaurants i can’t hear the wife setting across the table, i hear my own voice when i talk. the wife says i still shout when i talk. maybe because i still can’t hear. driving in the car wind is so bad i just turn them off.
so because she just can’t help the only other choice is to see if i can make it better. the consensus here is the same people here want to adjust their own aids because the dr. can’t help them.
i know it is going to take some time but i have time, so outside of a few dollars in used devices even old ones it will be a learning experience. thanks.
