My audiologist went through the steps listed, and although it improved this some, it did not resolve it completely for me. The noise/hiss following the endings of words is reduced, but I still hear noise/hiss during words at times. To me it sounds like this update adjusted the compression release times, so the noise/hiss is quickly attenuated, and thus isn’t as noticeable after words.
The hiss to me is low frequency (in audio terms like brown noise). My audiogram is normal at low frequncies, and I think it is possible I’m hearing the noise floor of the device in that region. It seems like the fitting program doesn’t allow setting the TK directly, so I’m not sure we can prevent those frequencies from being gained up, but that’s what we will try next.
Regarding the comments about the noise block program, in my fitting, we could only select weak. The middle/stronger options could not be selected with the slider. I don’t know why.
Lastly, the one thing that DID help was to turn off sound recover. In that section of the fitting program the diagram for sound recover showed half the spectrum disabled. It looked like the 4-5KHz range was the “sound recovered” region, and above that there was nothing output. When that was disabled, the sound recover diagram changed showing the the entire spectrum up to the max (9.5 kHz?) was now working. I noticed significant improvement in speech intelligibility.
These devices are by far the most comfortable and discreet I’ve worn. I truly want them to work well, but the noise is a real distraction in a lot of use cases.
