I had an appointment today, 75 mile ride, i get there met with the Audioligist had a few min discussion, ho told me about the hearing test, was quite elaborate compared to the one i had on monday of last week, he started by looking in my ears and did a compression test ect, then on with the test, much more in depth as the other test, after the test he put on a pr of BTE aids with the RIC, he tried 2 different sets of recievers . results were dissapointing, he even tried another brand or model, he says loss is considered profound, after all the testing and letting me talk to my wife and walk around, he was surprised that i honestly said i her better with my old 8yr old siemens BTE, he did say i should talk to a dr and see an ENT specialist, i might need to go with a Cochlear type hearing device. before i get into that, i did say to about these bte aids with so called SP (super power) he did say might be worth a try, i am not 100% sure if i heard from the other audioligist last week he saying that the tube going to the ear vs the RIC, the tube can be more powerful. so now i look for new BTE with power, he was surprised that my single aid had better sound to me over the prescription aids, he spent over 2 hrs with me asking me question and retuning the aids ect,, great guy, made me feel comfortable the whole time there, started of saying i am not on commision, on salary, after 2 hrs he said im sorry we could not help you. especially that you hearbetter with he single aid
