Curious to know if you've tried the Phonak device called the Roger Pen? It's a streaming device that was created specifically by Phonak, for Phonak hearing aids. However, it can be used by other hearing aids with an add on device. I tried it when it was first introduced. I did not have Phonak aids, so had to use the streamer that worked with it. I was impressed by that system. I understand it has been improved since that trial. It's about clarity, not volume.
I can honestly say that getting a cochlear implant was positively life changing. Why do you say you will not get cochlea implants?

@julieo4 , I have not tried Roger Pen. I only have my Aides for about 6 or 7 weeks so far. I don't think I need any more amplifier. I'm pretty good one on one, and in stores understanding sales clerks. However, during my last visit to audiology, I asked to take down the volume and high pitch, which she did. Now I feel I was better before we did this adjustment. So im going to ask on next visit to make another adjustment. I trust she would know what pitch or volume that may help...maybe put them back to the original setting??
Shes giving me plenty of time to see what's most accommodating for my needs.
I did watch a detailed video on Cochlear Implants...I was very turned off at the whole procedure, and using those devices on my scalp. Sorry, but it's scary to me.
That's not to say, I wouldn't change my mind in the future if I can't get by with my aides. That said, it's relieving to hear it's such a great success for you. I'm sure it has opened up a new world for you and others. You are also brave, IMO. My Phonak costs $6800, so im not about to invest more $$ money for added devices(Roger pen). Ill keep making adjustments and go from there. Thank you for your suggestion and reply.
