i am a new user of linx quattros. in the iphone app, there are several options. i have the basic, then restaurant, and streaming tv. i would like to know what other users have, and how well they work. i have been in contact with resound, and they are reluctant to supply a list of other options, they keep referring me back to my audiologist. since i got these from the va, talking to an audiologist is a pain. i get put on hold forever, and have yet to get thru. then, getting to the va facility is another chore. i live about 60 miles from the nearest one, and i have to drive thru the teeth of traffic to get there. then, getting an appointment takes a while, currently they are running about 8 weeks behind. i am also interested in info on the individual microphone, so my wife can use it.
I have these:
All-Around - handles 90% or my use
Music - turns off compression and processing that interferes with music enjoyment
Outdoor - suppresses background and wind noise. Good on bicycle rides. hikes, or around construction sites.
Restaurant - helps suppress background noise and focus on people in front of me
Most of these have some fine tuning for Noise Filter or Speech Clarity, while the Restaurant has a directional Focus setting.
Your fitter has to add and configure these. You can copy and modify the ones you have with limited features, but cannot add a new one. The app programs are actually in the hearing aids, installed by the fitting software, and downloaded to the iPhone app.
I have Resound VIDA which I chose for the Telecoil option which I use occasionally.
I have All-around setting which I use 98% of the time. I have found that the VIDA responds very well to various background sounds and adjusts within 5 sec, be it a blender, wind, party chatter, car noise. Etc.
I also have the restaurant setting but don’t find it much different than the all around setting.
I also have the telecoil, and a TV streamer setting
