I used Jumpshare1 for capturing GIF of my screen.

One thing about Oticon that’s bothering me is that unlike Signia, I am not seeing soft sound, medium sound and lound sound graph when fine tuning my hearing aids. If you look at the GIF, you will see it is only showing one line and that’s it. Any idea why?

I don’t see the gain fine tuning in that GIF showing these, but if you use linear or nonlinear if changes, as all sound are compressed at the same level or not.

Actually i thought he was asking about the handles, it’s different from the Signia, but does the same thing, it’s on the fine tuning page, soft, medium,loud, you can adjust it there. Number 5 on the picture.

Yes that’s it! although it’s on by default, so unless it was changed it should show this.

Hey everyone, I know this may not be what you expected but this is what the hearing journey is like. I tried Phonak and spent time with Oticon, but I realized that the best hearing aid for my severe to profound loss has been Signia Charge & Go 7X SP. I reconfigured it and it’s been a breath of fresh air. There are a few reasons why:

  1. I have been using Siemens hearing aids for 1.5 decades. Signia improves upon the same processor as Siemens so I am used to the voice. It’s just richer and clearer compared to other brands out there.

  2. The Signia Connexx app’s default configuration is so good, it’s on point. I just had to change a few things. This brings me to the fact that their software is so easy to configure. It’s like they developed it for normal users to configure the hearing aids themselves.

I am glad that I tried other brands. Above all, playing with the configurations for over a year has taught me so much. I know exactly what each frequency does and how it impacts my hearing. I have just one question now and that’s related to an option called Tinnitus. Now I don’t have this problem and I have kept it disabled but in the volume area, the coupling was enabled. It’s a bit confusing. I made a video2 and I would appreciate the help here.

I’m with you on this, I agree that the software is pretty good and very easy to follow (so is ReSound Aventa, SmartFit not so much) as for the tinnitus settings,you are able to set to 0 in the preference by default, but I’m not sure if that will uncheck the box by default on startup.

Here’s how I handle my tinnitus. I don’t do anything. It just goes away on it’s own. However, if I think about it, or if I talk about it, or if I write about it (like now) then it comes back, strong and loud!!

Then I have to wait until I get distracted again and it goes away. I don’t do anything to help with getting distracted. My brain just moves on to some other thoughts and it goes away. The tinnitus stays off for a long time (days, weeks, even months) until I specifically think about having tinnitus again.

Though YMMV because we all have different brains. imo> The hearing aid tinnitus algorithms are simply distraction mechanisms and I never use them. I seem to have my own built-in self distraction mechanism.

I want to thank everyone for participating and helping me as much as possible. I was finally able to configure my hearing aids to perfection and it turns out there was no need for “semi-linear” option at all. The magic was in compression. I posted about it in another thread: https://forum.hearingtracker.com/t/switched-from-phonak-naida-b90-up-to-signia-motion-charge-go-sp-7x/62857/12?u=tallrobocop (member archive)
