Sierra, thank you so much for the thought and time you put into above from what you see from the bit I was able to share. I was able to catch my audiologist this afternoon to ask his assistance in getting my left HA Bluetoothed once more and also how to get my HA to stay in the Mode I selected. (I have to do the “forget this device” and start over in Settings.) It was driving me crazy because they failed me yesterday yet worked fine this morning. Then shortly before a 1:00pm meeting the right one was Bluetoothed but not the left. Then came a crowded Friday afternoon “social” and noisy dinner time after. HA remained Bluetoothed but refused anything but Universal setting. I’d change setting. HA would respond then immediately revert back to Universal! Once home, I put them in their charging case (Love that case!) and in a few minutes put both back in my ears. That’s all I did. Everything working flawlessly now.
I experienced zero problems the few weeks I had my demo experience with loaned Stylettos. They were programmed to fresh audiogram. Real Ear Measurement was done. My own voice, every other voice was so natural. Cafe setting was needed immediately after that fitting, worked like magic, and I was sold. Later that night TV audio fine. Music thru Yamaha soundbar better than I think I’d ever heard it.
BTW, here’s a puzzle for you. That first fitting the REM also showed room just as they were programmed in the event my hearing declined to have more power to accommodate. According to any audiogram that has been done this admittedly should not be the case. Yet there it was. I also was hearing so well. Base was wonderful, natural, and voices, all sounds louder than I would’ve thought normal at first.
The only things left to conquer were #1 sound of ukulele when I was playing my own, although not when others played. #2 was a slight infrequent buzzing sound from L HA. Audiologist felt that when ENT Dr. cleaned hard wax out of my L ear then it wouldn’t be a problem, and that proved to be the answer.
Ukulele fine now. Tonight I’m back to at least the last several hours everything I’ve tried is good to exceptional. The audiologist feels I should move on to newest technology and more power. At our meeting this afternoon we agreed to switch to the new Signia X. They’re shipping now, after a delay due to unfortunate hacking.
I suggested after first of next month, having fallen behind on other things when I prioritized resolving challenges presented by so many other attempts with various pairs of Stylettos.
