Social worker and training psychotherapist, bilateral hearing impairment since 1999 L from head trauma 1989 and R 1999 from virus. Speech discretion 50% at 110dB R80 at 110 dB both 95% at 110dB. L ear 70 <dB and right 80 <dB

Tried wide range of H/As over the years found phonic sound most natural. 2018 got Virto B 90 UP with Blutooth integrated via Compilot. Game changer for the phone and TV etc. now using Tiger on Which is great too. L ear continues to drop, now out off the edge of current Virto CIC’s fitting range. So need new aids been 2 years trying to find a pair to match or exceed current aids, to no avail. Audiologist is excellent tried wide variety of approaches including catching exact output of current aids and minor self tuning to tweak performance. Still cannot match clarity and overall speech discretion in quiet room of old aids. Cannot believe the new aids are inferior to old aids. Came on here looking for answers! something about there sound processing of new aids is working against my speech discretion in quite rooms. New aids great in noise definitely and improvement, however I work in quiet locations and need to understand people clearly. Need help work a solution.
