OK, that took less than 1 min to fill out! kev716 caught the typo … many other great suggestions about breaking questions into two as well.
I gues my own suggestion for addition would be:
- How important is it for you to understand conversation in noisy places?
- How important is it for HA makers to offer both battery and rechargeable options?
Even better: it’s never really been asked out loud: “If given a choice between only battery-operated and rechargeable aids, which do you prefer?” Cuz I honestly think that the rechargeables have been shoved down our ear canals without the practical consequence of this technology: redundancy (cuz batteries don’t give one a full day’s use), clutter (charger, power cord, 2nd pair of aids and all THAT attendant gear).
I also wish some market research would go in to the issue of user training & support. We get these expensive, critically needed devices and then are expected to figure out (how? where? from whom?) the myriad accessories and applications that can optimize performance.
Ah, that’s a whole 'nuther topic, but it’s utterly neglected by HA makers, who assume the overworked audi will make it all happen, or the befuddled, overwhelmed customer will get it all connected and working like a charm when it’s like being tossed in a space capsule and told: GO TO THE MOON!
