I’m dictating because my fingers are not all that steady to type along comparison. My hearing instrument specialist just put a pair of resound videos into my ears. I assume they’re top-of-the-line but I’m not sure what the designation is. Would it be nine? At any rate the exercise was this test the noise suppression compared to the Infinisphere I 90s that I already had but were still within the period that I could return them. The HIS played loud Restaurant noise from his phone, and I compared the two different hearing aids. With the spheres, I had to convince myself that they were suppressing the noise. My experience with them in moderately loud restaurant noise was that they diminished the sound a bit, but the people sitting at the table with me sounded a lot louder and more clear. But as soon as the resound started operating, and we switched to the noise setting, it was really a WOW! it was a very noticeable reduction in noise. Much more so than with the spheres. I didn’t wanna believe that because I’ve been a Phonak fanboy for many years. I did try music streaming with the resound as with my previous trial of a Resound hearing aid, the music was very distorted. My music streaming which I do a lot was so much much much much better with spheres so at this point, I’m not sure what I want to do. I just wanted to send a quick note to let you know that the noise suppression with the Resound Vivia’s was much more marked than with the spheres. please excuse the typos.
