I have had this going on with traffic noise for months now. My AuD hasn’t been able to fix it. At our last adjustment, she said the compression values all looked good.

I’m not an expert, but my guy told me the hissing is common with compression. I don’t fully understand what that is but he told me because I am a musician he isn’t using it and I am getting no hissing except when I turn my volume up above zero to 3 or 4 on my Oticon ON app.

As far as alternate places to find deals on aids, I found amazing deals on the offerup site. People on ebay know the value of aids. People on offerup just want to get rid of excess stuff and the deals are incredible. I found some OPN S1 aids for $200, barely used by an elderly guy who just couldn’t get used to aids. Then I jumped at some Resound One’s at $900, almost brand new and rechargeable even. I did buy my TV Streamer and Phone Clip+ on ebay for $60 and $30 respectively. I also got my Noahlink Wiress on ebay for $120. I am loving the deals available at these sites

I don’t think that’s still the case. And I think I learned that from one of his videos.

I don’t think you are married to the costco app either. The summary on this forum says you can use the myPhonak app.

This would be ks10, not earlier.

I don’t have the time to look for a source on this right now so considerate it rumor unless I update. I do know my audiologist was comfortable that she could tune it, etc

It’s definitely not the case, it’s not rumour, it’s a fact your all ok to Costco , if your buying from eBay or another place, you do need to check on some of the older models, but Costco haven’t sold locked for a while now.

The app is a little tricky. The KS9 could use either the myPhonak app or the EasyLine app. The KS10 needs the EasyLine app.

Good luck with getting things “back on topic.” I’ve learned to live with the stream of conciousness nature of the forum. I always have ideas where I want a thread to go, but I’m never right.

Ha ha, bang on here, I usually find someone will eventually put it back on topic anyway (rescuing the hijacked )

Part and parcel of this forum I’m sorry to say @Musician, most threads digress or meander back and forth…. But, as @tenkan says, they usually get back to some resemblance of the main topic, and as @MDB rightly states, complaining can lead to a hostile reaction from the odd keyboard warrior :upside_down_face: Over the years, you tend to treat it as common practice, and perhaps learn to ignore it, this leads to a more ambiance, and usually less conflict…. Most severe/profound folks are excluded in general from this hearing society, they want answers immediately if not sooner, after maybe years of isolation & frustration, forum etiquette and protocol tends to go out the window, especially from new or less experienced members, also if you consider (Sudden Sensory Neural Hearing Loss) these folks are frightened, need reassurance, and perhaps out of sheer panic they might hijack a thread, so as a general rule of thumb we tend to ignore… YMMV, my 2 cents worth :wink:
