I agree, although with the hearing aids I have, which are Unitron. I had
the person set a program up with the curve flat for music and sometimes
I use it for outdoors. Also with the remote I change the volume sometimes.
It has been about 9 months and I am still getting used to them.
I don't like being without them though, I would wrather have them
insteat of not. With the blue tooth you can plug in to the radio, or
other things and it helps lots. I have found that the earphones, or
head phones, ear cups that cover the ear, work the best. You get the
best of stereo that way.
If anyone wants to talk I can call or write me off list.
Thanks to Phill and others on this list last year it helped me.
Lots of us unfortately are getting older and need them. It is better
with than without them.
