I went to an audiologist, who administered a hearing test and did the molds. A week later they had been built for me, I went back to the audiologist and with the hearing aids in my ears, was wirelessly connected to her computer. The digital audiogram from the week before was matched to a 'tuning' and uploaded to my hearing aids while I sat there, wearing them. She asked me if I wanted any part of the profile changed, and I had her turn up the volume a little in a couple of frequencies.
My aids accommodate 4 profiles, swithchable at the touch of a single tiny button on the in-ear hearing aids. I have one mode that is close to my pre-loss hearing, two 'bionic' modes, and one that I call 'STFU Mode' where they're almost earplugs, which I use in really noisy environments. When I change modes, the aid that I pushed the button on tells the aid in the other ear to also switch to the same mode.
I had an old set from years ago, these are a million times better.
You can have the best equipment money can buy, but it won’t work very well if not adjusted properly.
How do you avoid inadvertently switching profiles when you put them in or remove them?
