After I feed my test on Phonak Target. I did see that it shows high . I was told that all I have to do is click all MPO to decrease till high MPO gets disappeared or use 3 or 6 channels to decrease and ensure high MPO gets disappeared. Is that mean more channels can do better job than click all MPO? Apologize if this looks complication and hopefully someone has answer for this high MPO to be fixed.

Mine is serve to profound level and Phonak Naida V50. (Soon to be upgraded to B30 next month)

65dB@250, 100dB@500, 105dB@750, 105dB@1k, 110dB@2k, 115dB@3k, 115dB@4k, 110dB@6k and 90dB@8k

I would really test the new ’s, because V50 to B30 could be a downgrade even though the series imply differently. Just search on Venture versus Belong series and you’ll hit the threads that discuss this.

Given your loss, I would think you need a high in order to produce enough sound for you to hear. I don’t remember seeing a way to reduce all the MPO figures at once. There may be, I just don’t remember seeing it. By reducing the number of channels, or adjustment handles, you reduce the amount of effort required to change the MPO for every band.

I would love to accept this high but too loud and feel like ouch. I just decreased all MPO till high MPO started disappeared. The sound is better. I have no clue if more channels means better target. My gut said focus by clicking all MPO to decrease till high MPO gets disappeared so maybe it helps.

I have the same issues, sort of. In addition to having severe to profound high frequency loss, I am sensitive to loud sounds. This lowers my hearing range considerably. When fitted using and my prescriptive loss, my aids are so loud, I can’t stand to wear them. When the gain is lowered to a more comfortable level, I can’t hear high frequencies.

@John_Green, one question to ask if you don’t mind. Have your audiologist ever saying anything that it’s okay to ignore that High warning or do you see him/her decrease MPO to protect your ears? The reason for me ask because I did see that Phonak Naida B level has much high MPO than V level. More highest meaning more ouch on ears based on my opinion. What’s your thought on this?

The Audiologist never mentioned the . I lowered it some to try to lake the aids a little more comfortable. They can still get pretty loud, uncomfortable, but not painful anymore.

Good point. What I did, when I saw high warning. I clicked all 3 channels to decrease then it’s disappeared but after that I clicked increase on each one of 3 channels to avoid MPO warning. It works pretty great with comfortable.
