Your provider can send the devices in to have a button added for a volume control if you currently do not have one. If you do, then your provider needs to activate it in the software

Sounds like the microphone or receiver is going out. The aid more than likely needs to go into repair

There has been mixed reviews on these even from audiologist! We always welcome feedback to figure out what is best for our patients. At SFAA we offer 9 different manufacturers bc we know one size does not fit all, patients need options to figure out what works best for them. Thank you for your feedback!

Thank you, too, for your reply to my somewhat-limited review of the Phonak Sphere Infinio hearing aids. There are some positive aspects of these hearing aids, however the negatives far outweigh the positives. It doesn't matter how nice the TV connector works, for example, if the hearing aids won't stay connected. The primary reason I ordered this model hearing aids was for the highly touted speech in noise feature. That was a complete failure. Nothing more than sales hype. Very disappointing, to say the least. I don't believe there is a hearing aid out there that can solve the background noise problem. When the instrument amplifies sound, it amplifies ALL sound - including background noise - which cannot be separated from other sounds. I have resigned myself to the unfortunate fact that I will never be comfortable in noisy conditions, and I will have to continuously apologize to people for my having to ask them to repeat themselves because my very expensive hearing aids don't work. 🥺😡

Unfortunately this has been my experience with them. Been wearing them for a couple weeks. Maybe a little better in noisey environments, but nit that much. Certainly not worth $6K! I was VERY hopeful. 😢

@razor7241 Sorry you are experiencing the same disappointment that I had. I have tried them again, but in the meantime, I am trying Starkey's latest/greatest "Edge AI." They seem very good - better speech-in-noise, but not what I would characterize as great. Between the Phonak Sphere, Oticon Intent, and Starkey Edge AI, the Starkey is best for my needs as musician/guitarist, although my entire experience playing guitar while wearing hearing aids has been very disappointing and frustrating. I have arrived at the conclusion that my days of music performance have come to an end. 😔 I believe no hearing aid is capable of restoring my hearing to a level that would be acceptable for my needs as a musician. As for speech-in-noise, I think the Starkey Edge AI is superior to Phonak Sphere. That said, Phonak offers an accessory for hearing aids which is said to make a huge improvement in the speech-in-noise use. It is called the Roger On, 3rd edition. It supposedly works with many different brands of hearing aids. It is not exclusive to use with Phonak hearing aids. Looks very promising, HOWEVER, it is very expensive - like between $1700.00 and $2,000.00! It has many excellent functions, but more than I want to spend. Good luck in your search for the "perfect" hearing aids! Unfortunately, I think such a thing doesn't exist.

Hi yes only the 4. The closest to sienna is going to be sandalwood. There are more color options in the Lumity line including ocean blue, majesty purple, lava red, electric green, precious pink, and Caribbean pirate

have you tried hearing aids that have a decent amount of compression such as Resound or Signia? Those brands do well for those with sensitivity to noise

I am glad this helped!!

I have not fit one yet, but from the buzz, the reps are saying its quite the increase in speech in noise performance from the Lumity.

@@stevenchelsky5281 sounds like a bad lithium ion battery that needs to be replaced

@@siouxfallsaudiologyassocia7609 thank you

​@@siouxfallsaudiologyassocia7609 if i go to the hearing aid clinic can they replace the battery or does it have to go to the manufacture

Yay!

Me too

I am so sorry that is happening to you! I don’t see it as much in the Phonak line as I do in the Unitron models. If it was me I would have your provider send the aids in for repair/battery replacement.

@@siouxfallsaudiologyassocia7609 Been there, done that. That's how I ended up with the upgrade, bless its two-channel Bluetooth. It's only happened a couple of times with the Paradise in a couple of years. Glad to know, though, it's not just me!

Thank you Craig! We love to give patients as many resources to ensure their hearing aids last them a long time!

Yay!!

For profound loss the new Vivante power behind the ear is what I recommend for that degree of loss

@@siouxfallsaudiologyassocia7609 Unitron vibrante 9 moxi u mean ma'am? Is that good to use in noisy workplace with active noise cancelling ?

It will charge in the Phonak conventional charging case

yes you can pair it to the Bluetooth on the Asus

@@siouxfallsaudiologyassocia7609 thanks alot

As young as 2 if they will allow you to do it!

This typically works for Phonak and Unitron hearing aids. Due to the model of your aids. I am wondering if you need new batteries. Your provider should be able to order them and replace them in the office

Thank you for letting me know, I will try to get the audio dialed in better. It demonstrates on the factors that really affect audio content doesn't it!

​yesit does

No, it is more than likely the filter is plugged or the wire may have a short. if the filter and domes are new, then try rebooting your phone, hope that helps!

Awesome glad it worked!

I am guessing they will be on contract in September

You should have a trial period of 30-60 days (that is typical and also depends on state laws), she can return them and get the updated ones!

Thanks Dr. Mandy

@@craigvanasperen5751 I am glad they are working like they are supposed to!

Hi have you called Starkey to see who does 3D impressions near you? Otherwise they can use you old scan from the sound lens. Whoever orders the new devices need the serial numbers from your current Starkey aids. If you have not had dramatic weight loss or injury to your ears they should work just fine!

@@siouxfallsaudiologyassocia7609 Thanks for replying. Yeah, I have the old impression (15 yrs now) and it works. I feel very lucky to have gotten a good, deep silicone impression the first time. It actually stung a little, that's how close it was. I hope these 3d devices get out there because IIC is so nice and for it to work you have to get that very deep impression. I had 2 impressions after that (both for Starkey IICs) and they were way off. The IICs were not invisible. No one seems to want to talk about the problem, but now that scanning tech exists, I hope companies like Starkey go full blast in making it inexpensive for audiologists to get. But again thanks, I appreciate the reply.

A custom hearing will as the microphones are in the ear vs on top, which gives a natural directionality effect like your ear did when hearing was normal. A completely in the canal hearing aid is going to give the best directionality as it goes deeper in the ear

@@siouxfallsaudiologyassocia7609 Thank you.
