Thanks for the information. I'm not sure which hearing in noise program I have, but I will definitely make an appointment with my audiologist to adjust. I'm really excited - I hope it works!

Hi,
Forgot to mention that , in a separate adjustment appointment, I had her fine tune the noise suppression programs . I was hearing way too much environmental garbage that wasn’t necessary. Now the world sounds “normal”.
I would ask the Audi for 2 speech in noise programs. One that would be directional which means you focus on one speaker at a time and surrounding noise is suppressed. The other is omnidirectional which lets you hear around you but also focuses on the person who is speaking. I use that one a lot...supermarkets, malls etc. sometimes switch to the directional if I am at the register.
Also had her put in a mute program...example would be if I am vacuuming. Use my Pilot 2 remote a lot.
Show her my posts if you like if it will help in explaining what you need. Phonaks are powerful aids...I have Nadia UP using 675 battery.
Good luck and I hope she or he is patient. Remember, if she raises the voice level in the omnidirectional program, it may sound a little loud in the office. You need to understand how each program works and where you would be using it. Don’t leave until you do. These babies cost way to much not to have them work for you to the highest level you can get.
