Thanks videomix for the heads-up about the entry-level Phonak Marvel aids that I’m currently trying. The audi I’m seeing was honest about their limitations – such as not working satisfactorily when there’s background noise. That seemed OK with me, since I’m normally in a quiet environment.
But what she didn’t tell me is that these Marvel aids (at least so far – and I’ve already had 2 out of the 3 allowed free fittings/adjustments) are really intolerable when it comes to my amateur playing guitar or flute. The aids actually screech painfully at certain frequencies (C# and Eflat octave 5, C and C# octave 6, G and G# octave 6, and other notes).
Are Phonak Marvels an impossible choice for someone who plays a musical instrument?
