Hi all!
I’m a new wearer of Costco’s Rexton BiCores, and although the audiologist has given me closed domes and adjusted the gain so that I’m hearing sounds so much better, my speech comprehension is still not the best. I still can’t understand my partner when he’s not facing me, or when he’s talking from the other room. When he’s facing me, I hear him fine. But even without hearing aids, I can hear him fine when he’s facing me!
And women’s voices are still hard to understand. We went to a noisy restaurant and I had to put them in “restaurant” mode so that the noises didn’t overwhelm me, and thankfully it helped so that I could hear my partner across the table perfectly. But I could only catch about 20% of what the waitress was saying sigh
I’m not sure what to ask my audiologist to adjust… any recommendations?
I feel like I need to have a recording of a woman’s soft voice playing and see if it gets better/worse while he’s making adjustments!!
