Hi guys,
Just after some advice. I got fitted for a new CIC resound quattro recently. It’s huge compared to my old cic. See attached photo. Should I accept it or get another brand cic. Apparently the feedback from resound is that they can’t make my cic any smaller due to my small ear canels. I like this product because of the Bluetooth connectivity.
I would say it is because of the Bluetooth that they are larger, they have to have room for the antenna for the Bluetooth.
The most important factor is its capability to provide better overall speech recognition. Cosmic is a far secondary factor.
Why did you go with CIC vs mini BTE’s? I’ve worn both and almost nobody notices that I wear mini BTE hearing aids plus the Sound is better with the dual microphones. The Quattro’s are excellent so good choice brand wise.
Your new HA’s better match your skin color so I would think they’d be less noticeable just on that basis than your old ones. You might be fixating on size when actually, for reasons of self-consciousness, you’re better off with the new ones for the actual less noticeability aspect. Perhaps bigger means more battery, too?
