Hi,
My audiologist has other brands such as Widex etc, but I am quite keen on Oticon Opn’s new technology. They are bringing out a Power Plus at the end of April, but there is no marketing material as yet for it. It was announced in the industry in February.
He has seen my audiogram and believes it would be a suitable fit but until I try them obviously, I won’t know how I get on with them as they are completely different to the traditional directional hearing aids. I believe that my audiologist is thinking the same way as Volusiano has said, but there is no realistic way of knowing if they will work for me until I try them. I am having a full hearing assessment in two weeks’ time so he will know more about how my hearing is and what hearing aids may be suitable once this has been done.
If I basically am only able to get what I have now, then there is no point spending the money. I do have the capability to hear some more sounds as when I got my current aids, I was able to hear the extractor fan whereas before with the non-bluetooth version of Oticon Synergy P, I couldn’t. Yes, I don’t have much in the way of high frequency, but I still have good low frequency to an extent…
And I am a she :o
