Hello I hope you are all well. Can anyone send me the link to download Compass 4.8? I have an old version, and after a visit to the audiologist, who was using a more recent version, my Widex Moment cannot be tuned anymore at home. So I suppose I will need to reinstall 4.8 from scratch. Thank you in advance! 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic

Need help getting access to Phonak Target software (Audeo P90 user) I'm a musician based in Nashville, and I need to make regular adjustments to my Phonak Audeo P90 hearing aids — enough that I really need to get my hands on Phonak Target (v12) myself. I understand frequencies and acoustics well from my music background, so I know exactly what adjustments I need. The problem is my audiologist has never given me client-level access to EQ my own aids. On top of that, the Auto Program keeps getting thrown off by background noise, and the treble response swings up and down inconsistently depending on the environment. I've tried explaining what I need to my doctor, but he doesn't seem to get why a musician would need this level of control over their own hearing aid programming. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic

This video shows the important of seeing an audiologist who has a hearing aid test box and uses it. It was the difference between someone getting cochlear implants and not. Listening checks aren't enough, even for experienced professionals. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic

For sale is a pair of Signia Pure Charge&Go T AX rechargeable hearing aids with genuine Signia Portable Charger RIC and accessories. These are pre-owned and have been well cared for. Both left and right hearing aids are included. I no longer use these and hope someone else can use them. I just found this forum after searching for a place to sell them. I hate for them to sit in a drawer unused. Included: Pair of Signia Pure Charge&Go T AX rechargeable hearing aids Signia Portable Charger RIC Receivers/earpieces shown in photos Cleaning sticks/tools 2 packs of Signia WG 3.0 NanoCare Wax Guards Additional accessories shown in photos Important note regarding technology level: I have not been able to determine the specific AX performance level (1AX, 2AX, 3AX, 5AX or 7AX), so I am selling these simply as Pure Charge&Go T AX and am not making any representation regarding the specific technology level since I do not have the app on my new phone. The hearing aids will presumably need to be reprogrammed/fitted for the new owner . Buyer should confirm compatibility and arrange any necessary programming, fitting, receiver or dome changes. The hearing aids, charger and accessories are being sold together as one package. Please see photos for exact condition and everything included. Price: $600 or best reasonable offer. Happy to provide additional photographs or identifying information to a serious buyer. I guess because my account is new I cannot upload a photo to this listing. 1 post - 1

I have two working sets of Hearing aids that I would like to sell. Details and photos below. (Would only allow me to add one photo so if you would like a photo of the Widex pair, please message me!!) Both previously owned/used for a severe/profound SNHL. PHONAK NAIDA B90-UP (Ultra Power) BTE: both in working condition, tested with fresh batteries, need to be programmed with your hearing care provider. Clean and have been properly stored. Comes with a hard shell case and the instruction manual. WIDEX DREAM D-FA P BTE: both in working condition, tested with fresh batteries, needs to be programmed with your hearing aid provider. Clean and properly stored. Comes with an opened 8-pack of batteries, a hard case, and the original box and manual. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic

First, I understand that there is no "right" answer regarding brand for an individual. My background: I have been wearing Oticon hearing aids for the past several years (currently have Oticon More 1 RICs). I am a high woodwinds player (flute, piccolo, clarinet). I use a combo of audiologist support & collaboration (mostly for speech and speech in noise) along with home DIY for my music performance setting with great success. I have an atypical (congenital) hearing issue with loss primarily in the lower frequencies, so most any "standard" setting is a "fail" for me. I am satisfied with my More 1's for music performance, but the Bluetooth connection is failing in everyday life, I would enjoy greater clarity in the speech setting, and overall it's time to upgrade to newer technology (my Oticon More 1's are now completely out of warranty options). My questions: is Widex considered superior to Oticon for performing musicians (some discussion threads seem to imply this), and if so, why? If I currently have a satisfactory music performance setting, would I be better off sticking with Oticon and not risking that Widex technology would be less satisfactory for me? Am I correct to assume that in a satisfactory (for me) music setting, human speech clarity (conductor, section mates) is just not going to be all that good regardless of brand? Is there any other information I should be considering? Is the Widex software as accessible as the Oticon software? Thanks in advance for your input!

Just got Phonak Audéo EON Sphere i90s and looking for fitting advice, especially from anyone who actually had these verified with probe-mic REM. I’ve been through a few audiologists and keep getting Target first-fit or the in-software “feedback and real ear test,” not real REM. Setup Open vented domes, M receivers Some fine-tuning at the first visit, no REM Came from Phonak Marvels Not in loud restaurants much. Main problem is meetings and quiet talkers. What’s bugging me Hard to follow most people in meetings, especially the soft speakers Quiet speech in general is tough Music program sounds off. When AutoSense flips to Music it almost boosts background noise too much Some hiss in quiet A lot of feedback with noise-canceling headphones (didn’t happen on the Marvels) Questions With open vents + M receivers on Sphere i90, what usually needs changing after first-fit for meetings and quiet talkers? If you had REM, did matching soft-speech targets (~55 dB) help quiet voices without making the hiss worse? I only hit loud noise once in a while. Better to keep Spheric Speech Clarity milder in AutoSense and use a manual meeting program, or leave Sphere more aggressive? Any music settings that beat the default (more linear, less NR, less Sphere, different compression)? And how do you stop AutoSense from over-boosting room noise when it jumps into Music? Is headphone feedback common on Sphere with open vents? Did molds, a tighter dome, feedback manager, or cutting mid/high gain fix it?

I currently have Phonak Audeo Lumity hearing aids with custom molds. The aids are about 4 years old. I have an appointment with my audiologist at Mass. Eye and Ear on Sept. 25 and want to explore upgrading to either the Phonak Eon or the Oticon Reveal. Since I am now on Medicare and my supplemental plan only allows a small amount toward hearing aids I am trying to determine if an upgrade makes sense and if so whether to get the Eon or the Reveal. My last hearing test was on July 25, 2025 and showed the following (if I am interpreting the data correctly): 125 250 500 750 1000 2000 3000 4000 6000 8000 Left Ear 20 30 30 40 50 50 75 85 75 90 Right Ear 35 40 45 55 60 65 90 100 105 110 Word recognition scores were left ear 82%; right ear 50%. These results were stable from the year before. So back to my questions would either of these hearing aids – Eon or Reveal – be a significant upgrade and if so which one. I am less concerned about speech in noise than clarity/comprehension in conversations with my wife and in walks with friends. I realize the best “test” will be trying them and hopefully Mass. Eye and Ear will let me try both. It has a 60 day trial period. I assume the trial will have to be without custom molds and I don’t know how much difference that will make. Any help/suggestions appreciated. 3 posts - 3 participants Read full topic

Thanks to tenkan I have Philips HearSuite running. Much more intuitive than I thought. Could someone explain 3 terms. On the insertion gain graphs, I see solid lines which are insertion gain simulated, dotted lines which are insertion gain targets and blue shaded area which is predicted feedback margin. The dotted target lines go into the shaded blue feedback margin area but the solid target lines stay out of the feedback margin. What does this mean? Is the software reducing gain to stay out of the feedback margin area? Thanks. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic

For most hearing aid and cochlear implant users, the top priority is obviously understanding speech, especially in noisy environments. For someone like me—passionate about both cinema and music—it is equally important to have devices with a wider frequency range; this applies not only to high frequencies above 8,000 Hz but also to low frequencies—specifically those below 125 Hz, which are reproduced by a subwoofer. I have a decent audio system in my home cinema, including a solid subwoofer; however, if I want to hear the bass clearly, I have to turn up the sub's volume, which naturally bothers a person with normal hearing (I measured an explosion scene that peaked at 104 dB). Is there any hope that hearing aids will be able to handle these frequencies in the coming years? I had high hopes for XMOS technology, but I get the impression that major hearing aid brands aren't particularly interested in it. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
