Naida V90 UP vs Naida M90 SP

So you would say M70 SP isn’t as powerful as V70 UP?

Sell it to me if you have a new one . LOL

Don’t think there is a vast difference in power output, to be honest @nidjo, I have Naida V90’s in pristine condition, I have very rarely used these! I also have Naida M70 SP’s, and Naida P90 UP’s, M70’s are backups they are powerful aids, but P90’s have much more features, so I predominately use these aids… IMO, I believe, the Naida P90’s are by some distance, the best hearing aids available at present for severe/profound loss, they are most certainly the best aids I have ever used… Cheers Kev

Thank you, I’m thinking the same about power output!

I agree with you - P90 are the best by far but I couldn’t possibly afford them… I’m actually looking at M90 SP in case I could find them for affordable price

Thank you for your response!

Yeah tis always a challenge when finances are limited, especially if you are in the severe/profound threshold… Sadly work wise, it is a documented fact, in studies over the years, you are more likely to be paid less than others, and highly likely to be overlooked when promotions come around your workplace! For some obscure reasoning, most folks tend to regard you as stupid, just because you have a severe /profound hearing loss… Although, I tended to buck that trend, by showing bosses over the last 30 odd years of hearing loss, I was as good if not better than my fellow workers, in nearly every job, I was promoted, perhaps I was just fortunate to be employed by fair-minded employer’s? Here in the UK, we are most fortunate, we have unfair competition from the NHS, probably the largest dispensers of hearing aids worldwide, these are free at, “point of service”, but in truth we pay for these via our, “National Insurance Contributions”… But, this drives down the price of aids from the private sector, if you shop around, you can get some good deals, I paid £2.4K UK pounds for the pair (Interest Free, payable over 2 years) for my Naida P90’s fully fitted, with custom moulds, by a fully qualified A.uD, tis probably less than half price in the states? NHS do dispense some excellent aids, but the actual waiting time is horrendous!!! Good luck in obtaining new aids @nidjo, cheers Kev

@nidjo

Where are you in the world?

Yea I type Phonak in to eBay and check twice a day. Got 4 x SP for roughly £350.

Croatia, EU…
Sadly, most aids are based in the US.

That’s a great price! I’ll do the same and hope for the best

I just changed my eBay to Croatia and I see as you’re saying that most of the Aids listed are from the USA.

Thank you, but it’s out of my price range… I’ll go visit my audi tomorrow to get her opinion on RIC, if it turns out to be suitable for me i’ll check ebay for something affordable.
Luckily my V90s are still working great so it’s not an emergency, but it would be nice to get an upgrade.

@nidjo

What’s your hearing loss?

I assume it wouldn’t fit into this fitting range?

looks like this in target

Ah that’s a shame.

I have some Phonak Sky M70 to sell on but they aren’t that powerful.

RIC Aids only go down to a max of 105 dB.
