Hello. Appreciate all the help offered here. Is 60 db receivers strong enough for me or is there an advantage in going up to 85. I bought the Oticon real 1s through my own channels. I also did my own measurement for the receivers. I feel I can save some money by having them in hand when I go to the audiologist to have my programmed as the markup if they provide the receivers may be significant. My hearing loss is not severe yet, so my feeling is 60 is good, but want to make sure I am not missing something. Thanks!

Yes as stated 60dB are more than enough, looking at your ,what benifits are you expecting from as I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t have any issues with conversations and speech in general.

Thank you. I have significant trouble understanding speech now. I give up in crowds or when all of my children gather at my house. I do not understand much of the conversation at all. I really feel the doesn’t reflect the issues I am having. I can not even have a one on one with my soft spoken daughters without asking them to speak up. All the kids are complaining as well, lol. Keeping fingers crossed the oticons will help me.

Ok so it’s possible something else is at play as well as hearing loss, your audiologist will definitely check this out while they are fitting your Oticons up, sure any will be able to help with you type of loss.
Let everyone know how you get on.

Good luck.
