I wear Oticon INTENT1 aids and i live in a forest. I love the sounds of natural, birds singing, chipmunks, owls, coyotes, the wind in the trees, the running brooks and creeks. Setting on my porch and listening to the wind chimes. Nature makes beautiful sounds. There was a time with much older hearing aids that those sounds were just noise.

Yes, quite nice is to hear nightingales and/or starlings clearer with new Spheres!

Widex’s aids using pure sound make nature sounds lovely to hear, at least to me. I don’t wear Widex at the moment but everything sounded very natural through them, more so than the slight digital edge other brands like phonak impose, due to the small but noticable to me, delay that is always present. I think having lots of audio input over a wide range of frequencies is actually really healthy for our brains in general.
