Hi Peter, but unfortunately, I believe the interest free policy @ Boots, is now a thing of the past, probably because of the inflation we had, running around 11%, it wasn’t a viable option…They probably got stung?

You are very welcome @Zebras…And, if possible? Please let us know how you are doing in hospital, we kinda get worried, when you disappear for several weeks! Take care, Kev x

You are probably correct @raylock1 … Obviously 51%, makes Sonova, the controlling shareholder, so Boots will have to dance to their tune (pun intended) :grin: Someone did explain (years ago) what the setup was, but unfortunately, I forget what was said! Thank you for your reply… Cheers Kev :wink:

@Zebras

Wishing you better health & healing.

There should be a business–selling properly set up spare hearing aids for those that need them. Or better yet, donating them and paying for maintenance.

Zebras you’re important! Take care

Hi Dave, I have the same hearing aids. Do you have the app, if so can you tell me what the the equalizer preset is set to and the other settings if possible. I have just found out I have Reverse Slope and am going through the hassle of trying to set the aids myself. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers, P

Thanks P11
I’ve used the App a lot.
I don’t have Target because it won’t run on my iMac. And I don’t have the skill to use windows programs on it. My computer was bought in 2010…I’m way behind.

If I adjust a program on my app the saved programs eat up battery life like crazy…I wear mine about 17 hours and would have to recharge mid day. I barely get 15 hours normally. If I have a lot cell calls I must recharge about 5…

The practitioner or audiologist can adjust the autosense program. He uses Target.

@P11
I have P90s, but the 13T battery version. I also use the app and am learing to self programme some M70s.

It would really help if you put your on your profile, as it helps others a lot in advice.

As far as the App is concerned, which programmes have you got as presets? For example, have you got Autosense4, and maybe Speech in Noise, and (hopefully) Music??

Any fixed programmes will be shown on the app, and any adjustments will depend on which program you’re adjusting.

There are many variables

@DaveL & @PeterH. Thanks for your answers. Sorry took so long to reply but life got in the way. I have the P70s with the app on my Samsung S23 phone. It has Automatic, Speech in Noise, Music and Restaurant all preprogrammed and I can adjust and save them if I need to. As I said have just found out I have reverse slope loss so am doing a lot of adjusting at present. Before I knew about the reverse slope was going around in circles and getting nowhere. Still not good in group settings or meetings so trying a Roger On and will see how that goes. Cheers

Just catching up on this very useful thread!
Why would an , or any hearing professional, not make an effective effort to speak sufficiently loud to be clearly understood - knowing that they are with persons. This has always puzzled me. Once I know someone is HOH, I speak slower, clearer, and try to choose words that are more obvious.
Long before my hearing loss… I was always like that due to friend and family with hearing loss.
Here you are paying them - would not that be a given behavior.
Is it really too much to ask ?

Edited

Anyone able to share what the experience is like - NOT the audio experience, but the human reaction to you using any kind of remote mic. Over the years I have had some… not as powerful as a Roger, but I hardly ever used it… invariably, I would
Forget it.
It got splashed with soda.
Someone knocked it down.
It was rarely in a good place… near the actual person speaking.
IF I could move, I would. IF I was stuck in a spot… I could not move to move the mic!
And then… wonder how in a non family situation… how the group feels about - or reacts to it…
I know in some ways I am being overly self conscious - but people have all kinds of prejudices.
Love to hear about experiences of this sort.

I started with a Roger pen. I would take it to the pub and place it next to my phone on the table in front of me. Nobody noticed it. On one occasion, however, I put it under a TV across the room. Some were uncomfortable with that. They reacted like they were being spied on, so generally I kept it next to me.

Now, I generally use a Roger On, or Roger Table mic II. The Table mic attracts a lot of comments, the Roger On slightly less. People ask if I’m recording them!

After many tweaks on my , they mostly stays at home. I do attend Parish Council meetings. They are in an echoey room. The Roger On is excellent in that scenario, as it cuts the echo out.
