Hearing Aids Recommendations Request - Conductive / Mixed Hearing Loss

[Greetings]

@e1405

I currently wear Oticon Intent 1 hearing aids, and they’ve given me the best hearing experience I’ve had in decades.

Thank you for sharing your experience and your current hearing aid.

ReSound Vivia 60 RIC for both ears. She really likes them. Still using the type of domes that were put on initially, and it seems the AuD who set them up for her did a great job.

Thank you for sharing.

I have no experience with the Allures but, based on my experience, the higher tech levels have an advantage in complex listening situations vs the lower tech work well in quiet environments. The sound processing speeds are the same, which means you get the Widex signature sound regardless of the tech level.

I wonder how a good word recognition score shapes needs? In other words, is the complex listening tech for me?

Get the best hearing aid you can afford. Life is short. I wish you the best.

Thank you for sharing your experience and your hearing aid selections / thoughts.

Two would be better.

You absolutely need a custom tip in the right ear, but if this is largely a conductive loss most brands will be fine. You may really like that widex allure–widex gives a clear sound and the processing is lower than other hearing aids, but your inner ear is still functioning normally if this is just conductive.

Thank you much for your thoughts.

Correcting the conductive loss surgically has been ruled out?

Unfortunately a surgical solution is unlikely.
