Thoughts On Frequency Shifting?

My experience was similar to yours - see if this link works:

Got it turned off and Ss no longer sound like Shs which is good, but if it might help speech discrimination maybe I bailed too early. Was quite disconcerting and un-natural sounding.

Gave back the Phonak, trialing a new ReSound which is no better than my three-year-old ReSound and will probably give that back too, and wait (try to stay breathing/living) another year to see what comes around.
