I just updated the original post from “don’t buy these” to “why I didn’t buy these” (the Siemens Pure 301) because:
-
I was upset about about my hearing loss and I think my original post was too harsh about the Pure 300 that I had problems with. Some of the problem was my left ear loss. And I’m NOT going to be upset with my Dr or audiologists who just happen to be “the bearers of bad news”.

At one point I was actually considering the Pure 301’s again after I made the original post. This is because it would have cost me much less to get the 301 and the MiniTEk which had not only bluetooth connectivity, but remote control features for volume and switching programs. The MiniTek may have connected with my Pure 300 (Siemens said it would) had I been willing to wait and see.
I decided to switch to the Phonak Solanas mainly because the speaker was in the top of the aid and not actually in the ear. I feel that this will be less of a maintenance issue.
