Again thanks … Medium power; yes custom molds. No hadn’t known you are bilateral CI, but believe I had recalled you are DIY. I will certainly explore pushing freq lowering and believe that in Target I have at least two stronger increments that could be enabled on the “S-SH” dimension.
I am not often with someone in restaurant or noisy background. I did buy used a Roger Select mic and the times I have used it, it is very effective. While I am curious about the Phillips, I expect I can get more good value from KS10s/Phonak with freq lowering and Roger, and while very expensive it doesn’t seem like Phillips (or Oticon) for me, would surpass the tech that I already have. Nonetheless, I might do a trial of Phillips via Costco and hear for myself whether there is greener grass …
