iSphere: Streaming TV, soundtrack music distorts speech at times

Yeah, no… I was replying to rafko74. His hearing profile is more like mine.

Indeed, I do have ear moulds. Thanks for the hint! I assume I have the standard type then, the box says “Cerustop ref.: 098-0282 (8 PU)”. Dumb question: does this mean that the moulds need to be redone to accommodate the larger filters? Or is it just a matter of shape/design of the filters themselves? I’ll start looking for the F3 type on the web in the meantime.

It does mean new molds, unfortunately, but the sound output ports are much larger than the Cerustop filters. I’m going to include a picture of mine. This is with the F3 filter in place.

Thanks, that makes it very clear. I’ll reach out to the audiologist about this.

Coming in late for this discussion- I noticed the same problem here- especially when streaming from my Firestick. My setup uses several Bluetooth-type connections: transmitting to loudspeakers, my Phonak TV streamer and my wife’s wireless Bose headphones (yes, everyone in my household has their own, weird audio preferences). The distortion affects especially background music during movies, but occurs with all Bluetooth connections. I managed to solve the problem by controlling (damping) the audio volume that goes into the Bluetooth transmitters.
