Thanks for the replies,
I guess what I’m hoping for is clearer recognition of sounds like s and th, the ability to have a conversation when there’s background noise like in the car, the ability to hear electrical warning beepers like on the stove etc.
I seem to get by resonably well because my lower frequency is still ok.
I believe from what I have read the p90 should work for my situation however if there is something else better I would consider it instead.
Neville when you say I’m not going to get anything back at 3500khz my understanding is that those sounds can be relayed in a lower frequency that I can hear through a couple of different ways. One being frequency compression and the other frequency transposition. Phonak sound recover is one version of this.
David, it’s good to hear you have success with the p90 in a similar scenario. It gives me a little confidence that they can be tuned to help in my situation and that I should keep persisting with adjustment
At the moment I cannot hear most birds, beepers or alarms depending on there pitch. The stove alarm I can just hear a wisper on the highest setting on my hearing aids however my kids can hear the sound coming from my hearing aids in my ear over the actual stove.
Don I agree with you 100% in my experience. The audiologist doesn’t seem overly confident to play with sound recover settings. However insists on telling me I should be able to hear the amplified high frequency sounds because it’s “terribly loud” however I just don’t have the ability to hear those frequencies no mater the volume. The same as you I believe it is great technology from what I understand if it can be setup correctly.
