Ultra/Super Power Hearing Aids with Semi-Linear option

On the thread below, best regards.

That’s basically a severe hearing loss apart from two frequencies being in the profound range.

@TallRobocop Did you manage to get the Xceed off ebay?
Thx

Yes. I ordered a pair from this eBay seller. It will arrive after 1-2 weeks.

I found that there’s no way to change the prescription/fitting formula, unfortunately. Let’s suppose I want to set it to DSLv5, there’s no way to do that.

I’ve got the software and can change fitting formulas. I don’t even have the Aids but set the software up as Xceed 1 and there is a way to change fitting formulas.

You can have different fitting formulas for each program. Thats an advantage to Oticon.

Not at home so can’t check the software to tell you how. Hopefully someone can help.

First, my Sky V70 were issued by the hospital. I had no choice in them and the colour.

Oh wow. You lucked out! Colorful aids are still my holy grail. I look at the rainbow of choices on the Widex sign at my audi’s. And then resign myself to the BMW colors Phonak offers us fuddy-duddy oldsters.

Thanks for showing me this. I will continue to configure my aids. I also wish there was an easy way to switch between linear, semi-linear, and compression-fitting formulas. Signia Connexx has an easy way to switch as you can see here:

By the way, which aids do you wear? Your hearing loss seems to be in the severe to profound levels too.

I’ve another question @Baltazard, in Signia and other aids, there’s an option called Frequency compression where you can switch frequency to those frequencies where the sound can be heard. I noticed Oticon calls this Sound Recover and their REM tab has an option to switch it on but it never saves. Is there a way to enable and then tweak this in Genie 2 software?

Sound Recover

This is Phonak Sound Recover.

Oticon do have a version of their own tho.

Yeah but the interface is so hard to understand. I work in the software industry and I cannot seem to find this option in Genie 2.

I have a 14 inch laptop with 1080p display. I usually set the display scaling at 125 percent. I see items easy to read in all fitting programs.

Hey @Baltazard and @Terost, after enabling Speech Rescue, the speech got so much better. But not just that, I am also playing around with Sound Controls and I can sense a big difference in speech and voice quality depending on where I move the slider. I have just one question. If I increase the gain or play around with the soft sound perception slider (see GIF below), then the feedback margin area gets colored. What is the feedback margin area for? Should I aim for a setting where the feedback margin should not get colored?

@TallRobocop Not really sure, @cvkemp who uses oticon (I believe) perhaps can give you some tips.
My understanding, is what works best for you is where you should aim.
If I was you, I will start with the target fittings, then use the fitting assistant (under MORE TOOLS) to tweak them, bearing in mind that Feedback has got a different meaning.
+1 for the GIF

I don’t DIY and don’t even own a windows base computer anymore
