Does Phonak Naida P90-UP have a t-coil?

Yes, I got a good price. Just because a HA is dated, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. I know a guy that looks for 30 yo analog aids, because he likes them. Easy for him, his loss is almost flat.

I go to the ear doctor, but I don’t normally see the audiologist.

I have had a bone removed from my left ear. There is a cavity that holds moisture, so it needs to be cleaned out sometimes. My right ear developed loss on its own. The curves are almost identical.

I use audiogram direct to program my aids. Being in audio and RF all my life I understand db, dynamic range, compression, etc. I know what I hear, the audiologist kind of knows. You can’t fix dead regions, but you can try to band-aid them. That is probably why they are called hearing aids. They don’t make your hearing normal. They try to compensate for your loss. They can’t fix a loss of dynamic range. I sure wish they could!

I had my t-coil turned on but with my Madia P90 UP hearing aids it is not easy to use so I put my cordless phone on speaker phone and turn up the volume on my hearing aids. It is still not very good sound quality and I have to ask people I am talking to to repeat themselves quite often. Unfortunately, most cordless phones are Bluetooth HSP (Headset Profile) and a very old version. Phonak hearing aids use a HFP (Hands Free Profile) and a much new version. Many years ag they use to make an adaptor that went in series with the incoming phoneline and the cordless phone base that made any cordless phone compatible with a transmitting/receiving ear bud. They are no longer on the market from what online searching I have done. I sent a request to Phonack Customer Service to have them look into making an in-series adaptor between the phone line and base unit of cordless phone bases that would be Bluetooth compatible with their Bluetooth hearing aids and hopefully with other manufactures hearing aids. I find that Phonak is not an overly friendly customer service orientated company so it would help if more people who use cordless phones would copy this and send it on to Phonack Customer Service so they will see the need for this product. As a passing thought this device could also be used with office phones to make them compatible with cell phone ear buds.

Hallo to everybody: Some few weeks ago I got the T-coil activated by my acustician. I used the occasion to get the T-coil activated at both of my pairs of hearing aids (Phonak Naída P30 UP & Phonak Naída L90 UP) at once. Since then I can select the function “Induction loop (T-coil + Mic.)” in the menue of my MyPhonak-App. Finally two weeks ago I went to a cinema that offers a sound transmission via induction coil for watching a movie there. It was really a fantastic experience! Already just after having chosen the function “Induction loop (T-coil + Mic.) on the app, my hearing aids got connected to the transmission. It was almost like a shock, because I felt like trown from my seat into the movie. The sound was so clear and I understood all conversations without any need to hurry up reading the subtitles. This option of using the T-coil makes watching movies in cinemas become a real pleasure. It surely depends upon the severity of your hearing loss, but in my case this transmission of sound via intuction look into my hearing aids works fantastically. I recommend it to everybody to try it out in case if the used hearing aids offers this function.

While in the process of listening to your streaming of your music lower the volume a few click and then up the volume to equal out the balance to better hear people. Phonak also has excellent customer service to help you with streaming and smart phone questions. After a few adjustments with your audiologist, i think you’ll love your new Phonak aids ! The combo of Apple phone and Phonak P90 aids truely work well for me.

They definitely have a T-coil, because I am making use of this function since very short time, because nobody told me that they have a T-coil and I found it out just by chance about two moth ago. The T-coil must be activated by the acoustician. Since he activated it for my Naida P90 UP, it is also shown in the list of selectable functions of my app. If you click on it in a place where exists a sound-transmission via induction loop, so you get immediately the sound directly to your hearing aids. It’s really great!
