Best hearing aid for listening to high quality music

Compared to my Galaxy Buds, the Paradise is very tinny.

Then the HA is not fitted correctly for music.
I used to wear Phonak Naida B with closed soft ear molds. “Tinny” is something completely different compared to my son’s Logitech G935 headset, both attached via bluetooth to the PC. I don’t hear any high frequencies for many years so I can’t tell anything about that. I.e. it highly depends on one’s hearing loss.

It is strongly recommended to post one’s audiogram but @david.hendon (thread starter) still refuses to. So we can’t compare each other. Everyone is different but in this case we can’t even talk about it in theory.

(But keep in mind, this post has nothing to do with real hifi! It’s only the best a man can get)

Is that this?

Yes…

Thanks!
Why not in win10 originally I dont’t understand at all.

Sorry for my english I’m from central europe…

I dont understand why not works win10 sound panel like this sw. I think Bill Gates hasn’t hearing disease…

What you show for us is great tool to patch the sound-processing stupidity of the windows versions. Have to install all of us to enjoy the headphones especially the hearing loss are different on the sides. (I hope you understand…)

Obviously to post or not post your audiogram is your decision and I respect that decision. However, what works for one person and not another is often highly dependent on their audio profile. Having that information helps each reader to decide how relevant the information is likely to be for them. In short, posting an audiogram makes these threads more useful to many (most?) readers. Thanks for reading this.

Your English is far better than my “central europe”

Yes it is to wonder. Who knows. I’m not sure ol’ Billy bothers to have that much more say in the goings-on of his company. He still has far more money and paper-worth than he could possibly use in many lifetimes. A while ago I read that his investments are even getting better returns than his company.

Yes I was delighted to find that software. I set it up being guided by my audiogram. I listen to flac files or cd’s through my 2009 top of their line HP laptop computer. Definitely not £300K of audio! But being able to adjust each side accordingly is nice. It’s the only one that I have come to know about so far.
I’m in a condo now so listening through speakers isn’t conducive to having condo neighbors.

I recommended it to my friend.

I had a glance at your audiogram and wonder that you need separate control. Both sides are pretty much the same. My right’s a little worse than my left.

Yes, I need a lot. I’m sensitive for this. I hate if it’s not perfect equal both sides what I hear. Little sliding make a lot of enjoy. That’s made some years ago. My left’s a little worse than my right. The headphone isn’t equal the hearing aids. I wanted this software since twenty five years…
This is my quick differential “fitting”. I will do and develop out much more accurated way at weekend with generated pure tones to “reset” my headphones and I will build those to “analogue hearing aids” for listening classical music.

(I’m sorry I can’t explain myself in english as long and deep I wanted to say to you. So again and again… I have to tell you… this sw is fu.king awesome.)

How look is your Equalizer APO screen?
This is my quick first fitting

I subscribe to your every word

I love my ReSound Quattro. All frequencies are felt well.
It’s important to turn off noise and wind cancellation.
Earbuds also affect the sound very strongly.

So having started this thread last year, I unfortunately didn’t get any stears that took me anywhere helpful. But the question remains as important to me as ever.

Recently I started a trial of Resound One, replacing my Quattros. I have had two pairs of Quattros on the go for a couple of years, but for music I have had a nagging feeling of distortion, sounding rather like crossover distortion, for any real audio amplifier specialists out there. I have very expensive hifi, far and away more expensive than my two pairs of Quattros. In many ways it’s a waste of money, but music is more important than ever to me now, so why not?

Anyway I think the Ones are actually in a different league for music listening than the Quattros were. The crossover distortion effect has gone although there is still some distortion in my own cochlear in my left ear, exposed by a recent stapedectomy operation.

I’m not convinced that SmartFit is all that good at working out the ideal fitting for music, but it gives a start. And adjusting the fitting yourself while you listen to your hifi is an interesting and rewarding experience.

Anyway so far it’s a big vote for Resound Ones from me.

Ah, how quickly the year has gone. My guess is that any response you will get will be the same as the response you got before. My feeling is that nothing has changed. Someday perhaps but not yet.
