Who has Hearing Aids?

[HERMET]

Phonak. The kind that fit down in the ear hole. Hate'em, feels weird and I still can't hear crap.
I only use them when I absolutely need to hear something (Dr appointments and such) but that's ok because I don't care what most people have to say anyway.

Just about deaf in my left ear. Been thinking about hearing aids lately.

I have the:

Phonak Audeo L Lumity L90​

they've been great so far, battery life is about a full day. Streaming music and books through them is awesome. I love the fact that they sync to my Android phone and give me the ability to answer and disconnect calls without having to pull my phone out of my pocket. The sound quality is good and the adjustments (e.g., you can have several preconfigured user selectable sound configurations like RESTAURANT, MOVIES, BACKGROUND NOISE, etc., with the ability to customize more to your liking). I would highly recommend.

My Phonak Audeo are also from the VA. I get a full days use of them. They have full Bluetooth connectivity. However, even when selecting a background configuration or letting the aids auto-select the setting, my hearing loss is so bad I have to increase the volume to the degree I get feedback. It's why pretty much read lips when using them. I'm pretty close to deaf.

Well, you know, those folks the same age as us that didn't live this long didn't have that problem.

Mine work great. I do not want to ever go back to the struggle.

Say again?
Working in heavy industry all the old heads were deaf as ****. I was not gonna let that happen plus we always had them hanging on army BDUs. Try sign language.

Thank goodness for CC otherwise even trying to watch TV would be pointless.
During the plandemic when everyone was wearing the stupid masks trying to carry on a conversation was pointless.
I can't hear you if you have your face covered with a damn diaper.

I have the Lucid hearing aids I bought at Sam's. They have an audiologist near the Pharmacy, and they did a hearing test, which I didn't need knowing I was already half deaf. I ended up buying the rechargeable HA's and they were about a grand. I wear them when I'm going somewhere, but I don't around the house. I'd rather drive my wife up a wall saying huh all the time. That's what wives are for.

It’s better than regular AIDS.

Phonak for me too. I sweat a lot and moisture work screw up my old ones. Shower, pool rain is no problem for these. $4500.
