Hey everyone

I am in need of help in tuning my analogue hearing aid

I am 23 years old and serverely deaf in both ears since birth and only wear one hearing aid which is in my left ear.

I have worn analogues since a child, I was wearing a Oticon Personic 420 Power until it broke last year and was told that it could not be repaired and was made to use digital, i hated it and my audiologist and i tried everything to make it sound analogue like turning compression off etc and i have taken so much time off work trying to get it tuned and a year later i am still not happy so last week i thought why not try and get my old analogue hearing model back as i miss the sound of analogue and i found a pair of Oticon Personic 425 Power Plus on eBay.

But i now need to tune them and i am asking here today for your help as my audiologist said she does not know the settings for it on the two dials on the hearing aid so i need to do it myself.

Here is my hearing aid:



So where do i start with the dials what direction should i tweak them with a screwdriver?

The green dial says: A-Gram
The red dial says:

Here is my audio gram below


Thank you so much.

Your left ear shows as severe not profound.

With the dials, I would just turn them and try out the . If you like it, keep it there, if you don’t, try another setting.

again google is your friend… (I know diff model but same setup) the 420 I found was in spanish)

to make a long story short the green dial is ‘tone’ and the red ‘volume’…by the time you decipher those instructions. I would adjust the red/volume to your liking then fine tune the green/tone.
