that’s the rub, I can’t find anybody who will sell anything but digital. Everybody and their brother thinks digital is automatically better than analog. I really wanted it to work, but it just doesn’t work for me.
It has gotten to the point that I’d wear a body pack with wires to the ear transducers, if it meant a good analog audio signal.
What other analog devices are out there? I need a significant amount of power, hence the 332.
Hi there
I’m in the same predicament as you. I have been wearing ananlogue hearing aids for 39 years and can not get replacement superfront pp-c2-d phonak hearing aids. And…yes I love music too - I play the piano and the flute and digital is terrible with music - why is it that no-one takes any notice of us and just tells us to keep trying digital hearing aids when ananlogue were perfect…and they tell us to train our brains to these terrible distorted noises that we hear when listening to music? I really want to get a campaign going so that people from all over the world can be given a choice of analogue or digital. Sorry I don’t have an answer for you- I’ve been trying all sorts of hearing aids fot the last 4 years! Perhaps someone would be kind enough to help us out there?
Kind regards Julia
let em do some research for you to find out which ones are the best I will try to get back to you tomorrow sometime
just following up, to see if you’ve heard anything?
so far, the only places I’ve found anything that might resemble the phonak 332 XAZ are in Hungary. Anybody know hungarian?
dan have you try mexico?, costa rica or any of the caribean countries?
I found about 8 or 9 places in Mexico/SA that are Phonak distributors, but none of their sites had any matches for 332 XAZ. So far, the only sites with matches have been hungarian.
thanks for the information on no more analogs being sold. I had better take good care of my analog aids
I have a Siemans Phoenix 313 sounds like analog to me. I also use a Superfront for my Bone conduction aid . I bought the superfront just last year.
I have the phoenix 313 for a back up aid
was using a siemens centra SP with i guess with it set up to be linear and have some of the features turned off. sounded real good… recently lost it while trialiing anadiia V UP.
now have a siemens Intus SP set up to be linear and have some of the features turned off. sounds good, not as good as analog
trialling a phonak nadia V UP —sounds terible …going to try to have it set up to be linear and have some of the features turned off.
are you still looking? I just had mine refurbished and am looking to get new hearing aids. I may want to sell these if I do.
Let me know
Hello, sorry, I hadn’t been checking my forums lately, and didn’t see this.
Hi Dan,
How are the Unitron Breezes going, particularly with your music?
I have still been watching out for Sonofortes for you, also.
John
I could be out-of-date but the last time I had to find a pure analog circuit for a client the only product I could find was the Unitron US80 (PP and PPL as well). They may still have these in stock.
Hi analog searchers. I know that there is a manufacturer out of new orleans that still manufactures analog instruments. Their name is General Hearing. Be aware though that there are several types of analog circuits and not all are created equal, Although i don’t have a ton of experience with their products but I know them more on a personal basis and they seem like great people and have been in business for a long time.
If you have old broken analog aids and the professional you’ve chosen to work with doesn’t want to repair them then you may want to seek a different professional. There is no reason an analog can;t be repaired. I have sent several in for patients this year already.
giving this old thread a bump - still looking
What does your audiogram look like?
Everyone seems to be jumping on the otolens. That’s analog but it’s not very powerful.
I cant help with the aid you are looking for but if you look at my post regarding starchy i hope these can help you too
I know you’re looking for you specific model but I stumbled on this today. They offer analog.
There is a “Phonak PICS Remote Control” currently for sale on eBay from Lynchburg, USA. 3 days to go. This would suit an old Sonoforte 332x AZ analogue Hearing Aid.
John.
There is a “Sonoforte 331X” currently for sale on eBay from Canada. The item is misspelt, so you would need to search for “Sono-Forte” with a dash. John
There is a Phonak Sonoforte 332X AZ hearing aid currently for sale on eBay from Germany. The item is misspelt, so you would need to search for “Sono Forte” as 2 words.
Regards, John
