I got my hearing aids from the VA. at first there seemed to be static and feedback on one. What is strange is my own voice sounds different to me, Like I'm talking with my fingers in my ears.
The older I become the more I am convinced that the voice of honor in a man's heart is the voice of GOD.

If yours are connected to your phone go to settings under “general” and use the different features. They really make a difference.

I've been told that that is normal and what your voice actually sounds like to other people. The tech also said that in time your brain will acclimate to it and it will be normal to you.

Mine are great! I think not hearing others is impolite.

People who need hearing aids and don't have them can't comprehend how annoying it is to try to talk to them.

Jerry Thing is, hearing aids aren't a magic cure-all. For example when my wife talks she has this habit that when she starts off her voice will be at a normal level, approximately 50db. Towards the end her voice gets very soft which makes it tough for me to hear her. She doesn't realize that she's doing it, tells me that no one else complains about it. But when she talks to someone on her phone I can hear the conversation from the opposite end of the house. Hearing aids amplify all sounds, like the TV, the washing machine running, grandkids playing with obnoxious sounding toys. They increased the level of high frequency sounds for me, I'm hearing stuff that I haven't heard in years. Some noises have a distinctive loud sharp crack to them which is kind of like the crack a bullet makes as it flys overhead. My wife seems to think that they ONLY amplify her voice... 🙄 🤣🤣🤣

I work at FSU, the hearing clinic is in our building, my in-laws flew in from KS to get tested and fitted, made quite a difference for them, mom is next! Our clinic fits Resound, not cheap but very good. https://www.resound.com/en-us/

Good ones (Costco) are programed to only amplify the freqs that you lack. They won't amplify the freqs that you can hear fine so they won't come booming through. That's the big difference between them and the cheap one you can get online.

That's the big difference between them and the cheap one you can get online. 👌 In my situation I've got the Phonak flagship level hearing aids (L90) through Tru Hearing USA. They come preloaded with five different environments, I can create five more custom ones where I can manipulate the frequencies for my personal needs through an app on my smartphone. You can actually focus the reception cone of the microphones to try to eliminate sounds from the surrounding area. Think of being in a crowded restaurant... I put a hearing test app on my phone which I compared the results with two different test conducted by professional hearing specialist. The results from all three match. The biggest issue is that I have a significantly higher loss in my left ear from my right that they preformed an MRI looking for a tumor on my left auditory nerve. I redid the test once I got the hearing aids and can see which frequencies were boosted to help my hearing. They actually limited the level in my left ear to 80% because they don't want to create issues by taking it to 100% all at once. I've gone back to have them increase it to 90%, it helps with determining directionality of sounds. Some if the adjustments that are available... ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/t4NXWzi.jpeg)
