Phillips 9050 help

Hi all ,

Hoping to get some advise regarding my hearing loss and the Phillips 9050s. As you can see in my audio, my left and right ear have different losses. The left more uniform across channels however poor word recognition, while my right is good in low range and horrible in high (ski slope), with still good word recognition.

I purchase the 9050s in the end of Sept( along with custom molds for both ears) and after going back multiple time to costco for fittings, I purchase my own hearlink and started DYI.

I have multiple questions that maybe you can help with.

1. With every program (general, speech, automotive) aside from HiFi, I get a low to moderate constant background hum/hiss/static that only seems to go away if there is alot of noise. I assume it is compression but have only had moderate luck reducing, however in HiFi, I have none. The problem there is that Hifi isnt the best setting all the time when surronded by noise, at work , etc
2. Female voices and soft spoken children are still harder to understand and they sound way off then before hearing loss. I dont know if this do the the high frequency loss. Even with the amplification, is this the best that can be done? Or is it the phillips 9050?
3. I also seem to have constant BT drops with my Samsung S26 Ultra. Having read on this forum it seems to happen alot with these aides.
4. With everyones' experience and possible same hearing loss should I switch to a different aide? Btw, I am a operating room nurse , so a good speech in noise is a must (Alot of enviromental sounds : low freq hvac, high freq alarms, people speaking behind masks). Also I would like them to work with my sansumg S26.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

P.S. I just found out about the 9060s so they are another option.

My word understanding is 45-50 in left ear and right is 88. When combined though It seems to favor the 88. I had the left side loss for the last 6 years and up until still had perfect hearing in right. Both were SSNHL.

Recently have been adjusting them septerately.

It does seem the compression/hiss/hum noise is greater in the right ear because when I seperate the volume channels in both ears I notice it less.

That switch looks pretty clear cut. The only other thing I can think of is firmware.

Something else they could try is to turn off LE Audio. See if the problem goes away.

My earlier post was to eliminate the app to see if it was the problem or if it's the aids. I really don't believe the phone is the issue, maybe settings. Members have sure had issues getting their phones and aids set up right with LE Audio.

Developer has more LE Audio settings if that Samsung is similar to my Pixel.
