Hi all, I am new here. I have been a hearing aid wearer since my teens, and I am forty now!! I have a mixed conduction loss. I can’t figure out how to add my audiogram, but I will see if I can.
Anyway, I use NHS aids; I HATE my new upgraded ones. My hearing is causing massive issues for me at work etc. I work in busy environments, and I speak publically and ask questions. I mostly have to use someone to support me with this as my aids are just not capable.
I have been considering the Phonak Lumity L90 for a while, and now I have seen a newer model, and I am not sure.
I am open to any suggestions, though, it needs to be as adaptable a possible to different devices - Bluetooth capability, also needs to handle LOTS of noise.
Also, I see everyone uses the thin mould-type earpieces—are they called power aids or something? Can these modern aids be adapted to moulds? I absolutely don’t get on with those thin lines, and they tend to get damaged by birds (which sounds random, but I work with animals, and the parrots like the hearing aids, so the thin ones just break).
Thank you all for reading and any advice and support would be welcome.
