Profound Hearing Loss - Aids

[jlhog]

I have very profound hearing loss. My current aids are 15 years old. Audiologist is recommending Phonak NAIDA Lumina UP90 BTE for me. Does anyone use this model? Do you like it? Are you using a different brand/model for profound loss? TIA

I just have moderate hearing loss, with a high degree of tinnitus. The model hearing aid that the VA gave me is the Phonak Audéo Infinio, which I'm told is top of the line in both quality and price. Using the companion phone app the volume can be adjusted individually or together, and adjusted for environmental conditions:

I'm sorry to read that your hearing loss is as extreme.
Do your hearing aids give you any help with other people speaking to you?
Or do you only get some sound stimuli?

I don't know any info that might help you.

We were told that my husband would not be able to hear much in the range of speech, even with aids; that he would only get some sound.

I just got a new set of Phonak hearing aids. I got the one with batteries rather than the rechargeable ones. I get a box of 60 batteries from eBay for less that $20

They do help with speach but. Not in loud enviroments and I pretty much need to see lips to hear correctly.

How severe is your hearing? What model did you get?

Phonak Audeo M-I can still hear without them, but not too well. My hearing loss is not profound.

adjusted for environmental conditions: Does this help much? I know what works for you may not for me, but just wondering.

I haven't used the Music or TV setting, the Restaurant setting is what I use in Public. TBH it doesn't make any noticeable difference over the Automatic setting.

Thank you very much for that input.

I hope you can get something that continues to help, as much as possible for you.

If I had to get aids, I think I would choose battery operation
