Cookie bite loss - resound nexia

Hearing Aids
1

New diagnosis but no surprise - trialing resound nexia but finding several issues:

  • tinny sound and almost “burned out” mic staticky sound even when volume is not high.
  • too much amp of paper crinkling and impact noises
  • music/streaming sounds pretty bad even with music setting (sounds much better in regular headphones not even adjusted to my audiogram)
  • ppl on phone have hard time hearing me if I take calls with aids.

Are these problems adjustable or should I try different aids? 3 weeks into trial with 8+ hrs daily use (not easy but I’m determined), meet aud again next week. Using open domes - tulip domes hurt.

Is it ok to try Costco instead of private aud with my audiogram? These resounds are $$$$ and it sounds like Costco has great options for much less - I just worry I might be a tricky adjustment (?)

Thanks everyone! This forum is great! I have learned a lot reading prior posts.

Absolutely they are, you need to take notes and talk to your fitter at your next meeting explaining just what you have written here.

You definitely have the right attitude, keep at it, over time you’ll notice a difference, very few people get it right first time!

Again absolutely, Costco have the exact same premium models (Jabra) you’ll save thousands!!

No I don’t think so, a little bit of reverse slope on the higher frequencies, but definitely nothing out of the ordinary, any audiologist and most HAs will fit your loss.
