Will wonders never cease.
I put on my old Phonak NAIDA Q50 UP (a single hearing aid that I use as my backup) because I’m prepping to send in my aids under warranty. I can get along without a CROS unit until my NAIDA B90 UPs are back from repair. The CROS unit is not critical for me.
The difference in clarity is night and day.
No muffleness. My voice is loud and clear. Zoom calls are not muffled anymore. The texture of sound is back, if that makes sense. Everything. Music is rich and vibrant again.
It’s a total game changer.
Whatever is in the NAIDA B90 UPs w/CROS B (whether it’s too much compression by default - regardless of where that and the MPO are set), whatever it is, is interfering with my ability to hear myself. It’s always been this way and I have never been happy with them. But my NAIDA Q50 UP single hearing aid…it’s like seeing an old friend.
It’s definitely not my hearing. And it’s nice having confirmation of that fact.
I will be letting my audiologist know about this tomorrow.
