I have a siemens brand.
They tune it specific to your hearing test.
It hangs over the ear, with tiny plastic tube going in the ear.
It has noise cancellation.
It’s comfortable.
I got a black one. People probably think it’s a part of my blue tooth ear bud.
I have the Siemens too. I don’t think the audiologist knew what she was doing.
At one time she asked if I was lip reading and to turn my head so I couldn’t. I could hear her fine. It’s only certain frequencies I can’t hear. I think I’ve always been deaf in that range, just got a little worse.
I’m not very good with music. Can’t tell a C from an F. Never could. I enjoy songs, but don’t know if someone is singing off key or not unless it’s really bad.
Phone call get to be a pain.
For phone calls, I got the plantronics Voyager edge.
Fits real nice and soft over the hearing aid pipe. Clarity is perfect.
Many people on the phone use the speaker phones, and the speaker phones stink. Way too much noise. I tell them right away that the conversation has to end. They have to use blue tooth or regular phone or we are done talking. There’s no point continuing.
Modern blue tooth 4, with noise cancellation, really good.
So be assertive on the phone, Tell people that the speaker phone mode ain’t cutting it.
