    Aids for toes not financially endowed.

    The new IHEAR Max bte hearing aids continue to impress me over all others I have tested or owned. I did not expect the Max to have a telecoil but it does. Also loud noises and wind and movement noises are either calmed or extinguished.The Max is very small and comfortable. The unit is built very...

    Problem with my hearing aid - Phonak CIC Q 10

    Don't know what triggers it. I do not know if this is the same problem as yours but here is what I did when it happened to me. I took the battery out then I wrapped one time around with a loosly woven gause from the medical cabinet . Then I placed the aid inside a small bag of rice and put that...

    domes

    If you look on ebay and type in hearing aid dome, make sure you click "all departments", you can find sample packs of different types and sizes. I like what they call the open air type. It is a dome with either slots, holes, or openings around the side wall of the dome. It does not cause...

    My new hearing aids hurt my ears, is that normal? Phonak Cros II

    I am assuming that the hearing aids are "behind the ear" models. I would think that this is very unusual, especially after six weeks. I cannot think of anything that you could try either.. So sorry to hear you with this problem.

    Finally a silver lining to all of this. At one point I had mentioned that I had tried the "I hear Medical" in ear model. I got to thinking that I should try their "behind the ear" model as I would not have to buy the programming kit because I already had that, saving me $100 dollars. The...

    Gosh teacher, I guess the dog ate my assignment. Yup! Golly gee my new Yorkie (Opie), had a $700 dollar brunch. Thankfully it was early morning and the batteries were not in them yet. Don't worry, I did not harm or hurt the puppy. However the dog learned a few new words with specific loud...

    OH NO! The right side hearing aid lost it's push button shaft. I will have to contact them and see what to do. In a pinch I found out that a round wooden and ends tapepered tooth pick fit down in the hole and works, just barely kinda. So we are limping along now. This does not vote well for...

    Aids for toes not financially endowed.

    Well the electronics have had more than fifty hours to burn in. To let the cat out of the bag, I like it. How much though? Lets face it, a $330 hearing aid mimicking the functions and actions of the top five brands costing thousands more, the deal would be a showstopper, if it's dependable, well...

    May I present to you the AST Austar "Audeable S-T29 CIC", TaDa. Don't get too excited. We drink no wine before it's time. Had them on this afternoon and I am impressed. I have read all paperwork and manuals and decoded all stampings on the aids, and boxes ect. One thing to note from the manual...

    Aids for toes not financially endowed.

    Here it is Friday the third and the new aids are not here yet. I don't expect them for a few days yet. There is one thing troubling me. I looked for user feedback and the site had plenty. It was all positive 4 to 5 star stuff. The user input was very generic with no mention of model numbers...

On sale this month,@$329 each factory direct with free shipping.. I DID NOT wrangle for a free pair in...

    Something notable to add here. The IHear HD's from IHear Medical are invented by the same guy that invented and sold the Lyric hearing aid originaly before he sold it to Phonac. The inventor feels this is better and completely made in America, Silicon Valley, Calf for the most part. This should...

    To add to the above post, the IHear HD aids were $600 a pair.They had a square fitting siliconish tip. It was a regular tip forced over a square fitting which fit onto the square body. I have small ear canals and used the smallest tip. The body could be felt through the tip, if that makes for...

    Long time lurker to this site. This is my first post at 67 years old... This is my short reviewish look at two elcheapo aids. They are the ebay $39 Cofoe and the I hear Medical HD model. Both are in ear and take a size 10 battery. I found both to be at the very least OK. and worth the money...
