Can you kindly tell us what model you have? I went to their website but found trying to evaluate their numerous models confusing.
Thank you
Another option that you may want to research is the General Hearing Instruments Simplicity Hi-Fidelity 270 hearing aids. I bought them a few weeks ago. They are analog and designed for music. They cost $758/pair from Sams Club or a bit more from Walmart, and have to be purchased on line. They can be returned within 90 days. So far, I like them. For me they give instruments a richer tonal color and retain dynamics. They seem to take a while to break in. Since they are analog they have very little signal processing and cannot be adjusted to boost specific frequencies. I believe they amplify up to around 8,000 Hz so you do not sense a lot of upper highs, but the mid range is very nice. They do not have an affect on bass.
PS....my model is a behind the ear gizmo with a earpiece that is highly vented to let in the lows and middle frequencies. The highs are boosted, but it comes with a remote control that works with Blutoothe with various "programs" ...one of which is "music" ( number 3 on my remote) that is flat to accommodate as much of the music as possible. It does a very credible job. The other programs are for very noisy environments (restaurants et al) and a "normal" program for most listening during the day. I don't see a model number on the device.
Thanks so much for your response, Stringreen. Even tho' I'm pretty much of a tube guy when it comes to my audio gear, I like the idea of the various "programs" to tailor the little gizmo to the listening environment. I also like the concept of looking at hearing aids as simply another component. Next step is to get my ears examined. :) I know they ain't what they used to be!
