M& stands for Microphone and Receive in ear. Instead of there just being a receiver (the part that makes the noise) in your ear, M&RIE also has a tiny microphone on the back of the receiver.

ReSound M&RIE Receiver - Hears Hearing & Hearables37

Get your new ReSound M&RIE receiver to pop some fresh sound into your hearing aids. Easy to replace on your own. Compatible with the Nexia and ONE.

It helps (me) a bunch with the ability to localize sound. For me, coming from phonak marvels, it’s night and day. With my marvel’s, if one of my kids was playing a youtube video on their phone I just heard it in my hearing aids. I would have to look around the room to see where it was coming from. With M&RIE I can determine where that sounds is coming from way better.

Michael Grossman-this is Donald Langford - married to Carol Klein - double cousin to your mother! Do you have a Costco store there?

Call quality for the person on the other end is what I would consider bad.

I haven’t read all the posts in this thread, so I apologize if somebody already suggested this, but I had terrible call quality (for person on the other end) when I was using the LE audio connection. When I turned it off and just used Bluetooth, everything sounded fine to them and I haven’t had any any complaints since.

I’m about to get MIE installed on my Enhance Pro 20s. I have quite narrow (and short?) ear canals, they have told me. I hope the addition of the mic to the line-up of stuff attached to the dome that goes into the ear will not be more than I have comfortable room for. Does anyone have any idea about this? I’ll learn more in 2 weeks when I get the installation.

I would hope your Costco can advise you on this. It probably makes a difference if your canal takes a sharp turn, too. The receiver is supposed to go far enough into the ear canal that the M& mic is just at the opening of your ear canal. My left ear canal is short and narrow and takes a sharp turn. I have custom ReSound molds, and the M&RIE mics protrude out of my ear canals a little bit, about at the end of my tragus, whereas the ideal place is about the opening of the intertragic notch in terms of depth in the ear canal. I still think the sound is excellent, have a good sense of sound localization, and get pretty good wind suppression compared to the sound from the mics on the bodies of my Omnias, which are selectively on, the M&RIE mics off, in Front Focus mode.

Perhaps for someone wearing domes, the receivers can be inserted further in the ear. Don’t know if a power dome works for you, but with your loss, custom molds might do the best job of preventing feedback from the M&RIE mics and retaining bass in your ear canals. I hope your HCP gives good advice and allows you to go back to standard receivers at no charge if you don’t like the M&RIE mics. My audi told me switching out would be no problem, but I paid for custom molds to try the M&RIE receivers.

Ummm, I’ve been told there are many Michael Grossman’s. I think I’m one of the others in this case. Growing up there was a girl whose dad’s name was Michael Grossman. He passed away when I graduated college, half my friends go lt scared and thought it was me.

Hearing on the Accessibility widget. Many times when I open the widget, it not “all there”, that is, many of the functions don’t appear. I need to restart my iPhone 8 to fix it. Quite annoying. Sometimes this is true even when it’s been a cold start.

I am getting ready to get a new pair of hearing aids. Had a pair from Miracle Ear years ago but never liked them and finally gave up. Hearing has been getting worse and I just want to be able to hear a conversation now and the. One of the things I hated about the ME hearing aids was digging them out of my ear every time I answered the phone.

I started looking again because I ran into someone that had bluetooth on his hearing aids and was able to get calls on them. My research has lead me to Jabra but from what I am seeing they only work with iPhone? I have an Android phone and really don’t want to have to change over to iPhone.
