The distance between the listener and the speaker can make a big difference. That's why hand held mikes work well. I am bimodal, with both a cochlear implant and a hearing aid. I find that I have to turn the HA volume down to best use the CI in noisy settings. I need them both working though.

Your comment about turning the HA volume down in noisy settings got my attention. At the gym (volleyball game) I noticed that if I just used the CI I could actually hear the person next to me a little better - which totally surprised me. And it also seems like the volume on the HA is higher than the CI but my Audi is still doing initial adjusting. Another appointment coming up next week and then I'm 'good' for six months.
