Not sure, He did say the Dynamo 10, but I don’t know if that was previous or is what will be demoed in the next appointment. Hopefully it works out.
I had finally got a response that I was tested with the Chili model. My audi also said he will test me with the Oticon Dynamo 10 model once the demo comes in (this coming Friday). I know I was missing the bass sounds in the Chili, so I’m curious how Dynamo will do better. Can anybody tell me the major differences in Chili and Dynamo? TIA
Tried to do a physical comparison of both models to see the difference. Not sure yet what’s going to stand out the most when comparing to my hearing loss, other than hopefully Sound Rescue (like Phonak’s SoundRecover option) . I attached a XML file img link for your comparison and response.
of all the frequency lowering technology widex audibility extender goes the lowest as it copies active sound below a start frequency that can be as low as 630 Hz.
Phonak sound recover compresses sounds above 1.5 kHz. which is too high for your loss.
Oticon dynamo’s frequency composition copies sounds down to a target area that I believe the lowest of which is between 1 kHz-2.9 kHz which is once again too high for you. but confirm this. you can email oticon via their website and ask them this question. send them you audiogram.
have you looked into bone conduction hearing aids? http://transear.com and http://www.bruckhoff.com/20-1-Bone+conduction.htmlIMO you should look into widex’s audibility extender and bone conduction aids before you go back to just using straight up amplification for your lost. do you have an old audiogram? I bet your hearing keeps getting worse and worse as you keep killing your hearing with all that amplification.
I have my 8 year old in the link, several posts back. I’m cautiously betting that I still have the hearing somewhat there, but have not been alert in listening while in the booth. I know I felt like I was hearing ghost sounds while in there.
Not sure about bone conduction aids. Is it used primarily for one sided deafness? Will have to find out more about that extender stuff from Widex.

Just stop it now, before this site loses all its credibility as a resource for people who have genuine hearing loss issues…
I’ve desisted from asking the Admin to ban you as I think everyone has something to add, but it’s starting to get daft.
Now that all this got me thinking, I wonder if it matters to hear for sounds in a booth under the “blind” hearing method. I wonder if it will help somewhat to know if they are transmitting sound before you try to hear that transmitted sound, and signal that you did if it was heard. I think it’s a bit difficult if you dont know the sound you heard was actually physically transmitted and not just inner ear sounds.
I have decided to trial out the Oticon Dynamo sp10 aids. I can tell they are very competitive with Phonak. Now, I’m not really familiar with what all it offers in program options. My Phonak aids had auto, front directional, tcoil+mic, , music and mute.
What possible options can I expect to get from these aids? I have the software, just need to know what/where I can go so I can ask the audi what I really need.
I strongly suggest you find an audi who sells oticons and widex aids. that way you can try 2 brands. with a lost like yours, you will need to put in more of an effort to find the best solution. once again widex’s audibility extender is the only frequency lowering technology that can go low enough to help you. I believe hearingrevolution.com and truehearing.com sells them both for very cheap.
One step at a time. I just wanted to see what options are there in Oticon. I want to give this device a fair shake before I move on, and that includes all the programs and options there. I’m not going to deal with Widex until I compare with what I had before in Phonak.
