@Dr_Palmer and @Neville
I’m so glad I read your answer.
I’m sitting here having a bad day.
On the way to work my hearing aids were so bad I spent the entire trip trying to find the right program to use. I was stressed from the noise and chore of hearing while driving…
I got to work. I talked to someone who really patiently listened. I said I was ready to smash my phonaks.
I didn’t. I spent some time in myPhonak.
Modified the program that I’d found.
Saved it; I’ve used it all day.
Today I had to drive to sites to work, and the program helped.
It’s 4:00 pm. I’ve had warnings that both my Phonak Audeo Paradise P90R’s batteries are dead. Normally I can barely get through 14 hours. Today: 7 to 4. That’s 9 hours. 6 of the hours was with the modified program I had saved.
Way-back: About 2-1/2 years ago, I went to my dispensing audi because I couldn’t hear from behind with my other Phonaks. Almost got hit 3 times on construction sites. He didn’t tell me what hearing aids he chose until he handed them to me. They came with rechargeable batteries. I know…I could have had replacement ones. I didn’t get to choose.
After lots of appointments and almost two years, he asked me to find someone who could help me better than he could and handed me my hearing aids back. Shook hands. When I got home I found he had erased my hearing aids. All my saved programs were gone. He had done a quick-fit, or whatever it’s called.
I’m delighted to have found someone with more skill to set them up. Here with workman’s compensation I’ll be able to get new hearing aids in 2-1/2 or so years. They’re selective in what service they’ll pay for…
I truly mean what I said in the note I left. You, Neville and others are my heroes for contributing so much to all of us. @Michael_Phonak please help the heroes that do so much for us here, if you can.
sorry for the rant. It’s been a tough day.
