I have been wearing HAs since 2010. First with a CIC. I think it was from America Hears. I moved to Widex Beyond 440s in 2017. Both were because of the DIY programming capabilities. I like to tweak after wearing them a few weeks for about six months until I get a profile that works for me. I don’t have the time to go to an audi every two weeks and they probably wouldn’t want to see me that often either.
