Eeking Advice on Choosing Phonak Hearing Aids for Severe Hearing Loss + eBay Purchase Experiences

Hello friends,

I am a person with severe hearing loss, and you can see my next to my name showing my hearing range (80–120 , from 250 to 8000 Hz). I previously purchased a Phonak Audeo Sphere Infinio I90 from a trusted eBay seller, but the seller made a mistake in recommending it, and the hearing aid did not suit me. I haven’t been able to return it yet, and the issue is currently under dispute. You can check my forum post where I discussed this topic.

Now, I have received some guidance and support, and I thank everyone for their help. I am currently planning to purchase Phonak Naida L90 UP Ultra Power. I found a seller on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/40577757916010, but I’m worried about repeating the same experience, and the local price here is very high.

I am also considering Phonak Sky Lumity L90, which is available in a neighboring country at a somewhat reasonable price. I am waiting for their reply to see if the L90 model is available. Another alternative in the same neighboring country is Phonak Paradise Lumity, which is an older model.

My current hearing aid is Sonic, but it has recently become somewhat uncomfortable, and I feel like I am missing out on modern features that would support me and improve my listening experience. I am looking for any new solution, whether BET UP hearing aids that support shipping, tools, or anything that can provide an enhanced listening experience and better sound quality.

I am confused and would really appreciate your guidance on the latest technology, or if anyone can verify the eBay seller, or recommend a trusted site with reasonable prices that supports shipping. Your advice is very important to me.

Thank you all in advance!

I presume you mean “Phonak Naida Paradise UP”?

I have bought many hearing aids off Ebay including:
Phonak Naida Lumity L90 SP &
Phonak Naida Sky Lumity L70 UP.

The Sky aids don’t have a Tinnitus program, and use a more limited app. Other than that, they’re pretty identical.

You have more loss than me, but they both work pretty well, with deep vented moulds.

I’m curious to what fittings you used with your Audeo I90s,? Domes, C.Shells, Slimtips?

Yes,
Your buying experience really caught my attention. I don’t think the model you mentioned would suit my level of hearing loss, but could you please share the seller’s page so I can check whether they actually have the Phonak Naida Lumity L90 UP?

Just to clarify:
UP = Ultra Power,
and you are using SP, which explains the difference between your and mine.

As for your question about my experience with the Phonak Infinio Sphere I90:
If you’re asking whether I used it with Domes, C.Shells, or SlimTips, then yes — I tried it with domes.

The sound quality was actually nice and clearer than what I’m used to, but the amplification was far too weak for my level of hearing loss.

The seller suggested using C.Shells with an UP receiver, but members here told me that this wouldn’t help because the hearing aid itself simply doesn’t support my severe-to-profound loss. I will attach a picture of my audiogram for reference.

I think that model might work fine for you considering your hearing levels, but you can double-check with the other members since I don’t have enough experience to judge this accurately.

Below are the fitting ranges of my Lumity Naida L90 SP, and my Sky Lumity L70 UP.

Looking at those fitting ranges, and your , I’d say you’re within both SP and UP.

I doubt the cutrent Infinios would work well for you with anything lass than their most powerful receivers and C.Shells.
