I can throw in a little info here.
The short answer is no. The aids need to be the same for reasons with technology. The left and right aids talk to each other and each level of aids needs the same technology to function properly together.

It was posted by the owner of the forum. I’ve found it really helpful. It was intended to help listeners with if the speakers wore masks.

I had a horrible experience in hospital a year ago when I couldn’t hear my Doc. So I tried it

I have it in my Phonak Paradise P90s right now. In Autosense calm.

When placing the ’s into the dryer, make sure the earmolds vent is facing up. As moisture evaporate, it moves upward into the open space. If the vents is facing downward, and air circulation is poor, then the moisture will accumulate in the dampers. This is how I store my Xceed every night in the “Jam Jar” dryer with Dessicants (5 x 1 grams).
I will also use tissue and roll it up and tdry the vents - as far the tissue goes in.

Erratic distortion of your HS’s might be due to interference from nearby mobile phone or Roger ’s.

All the best.

In all honesty @danka… I had thought about buying a new, and slightly larger hearing aid drier, I have had that drier, a few years now, and I am not convinced it is still heating up, I will run some tests today, UV light is certainly coming on, but the heating element could be goosed? Yeah, their was probably something like a 100 mobile phones, with Bluetooth going in that Bar/Pool Hall, so plenty of potential interference available for my Lumity aids…As for distortion, I appear to be hearing back to my usual self, or perhaps my imagination is running riot, as yesterday, I was texting on my iPhone, with my hearing aids out, I could clearly hear the keystrokes, a strange anomaly for me, as I have never knowingly heard that before, unaided! But, thank you for your reply :smile: Cheers Kev :wink:

This may sound strange but there are times I can take my processors off and hear little things like turning a light switch on or off when I know this impossible. I am deaf with the processors off the implants.
I have come to the conclusion that the brain expects a sound to happen and it imaginarily does.

Maybe this is what is happening to you.

Yeah Rick, at the time, I was concentrating if I was actually hearing this! I am also aware the power of the mind, can play tricks on us! Later that day, my wife called me for dinner, I was in the bedroom, she was in the kitchen, I had my aids in… 3 rooms away, and several walls, I clearly and distinctly heard her say dinner, but it was the clarity in her voice, that astonished me, over a distance of about 20 metres or more… Again, it could be my vivid imagination? It was as if, I was standing right next to Elspeth… Strange! Cheers Kev :wink:

TBH, Ruth… I thought you might, it’s a lot of money to shell out!

If I wasn’t physically unwell, I would have jumped at buying them but due to my current situation, I don’t feel I’ll fully use them and the extra features within the L90 now with the news I’ve had.

:slight_smile:

So sorry to hear that Ruth.
I’m still nowhere any better with my L90’s and don’t think I’ll be keeping them.
Disappointed with Boots service, but been lucky in the past with my needs.
I am considering going for P30 's at Specsavers for warranty backup or winging it online.

I wonder if the App is the same across all technology levels?

I know my P70 plus the App, and @PeterH App for his P90 are identical.

Wonder if even tho you have the P30, the App is the same with the extra features to use?

In reply to @Zebras

I understand Ruth, or try too… I am quite impulsive, once I decide something , invariably that’s what will happen… Given your present circumstances, I would probably dived in, and got them, but just like our hearing losses, we are all different… Hopefully it pans out with the Paradise! Take care, Kev x

I think the app is basically the same but things like dynamic noise cancellation are specific to L90.
I was wondering if the equivalent to SILN could be set up as a manual program in lower tier models, not that it was any to me. @Zebras did you get my last pm?

In reply to @michael1

@michael1
I had issues with my setup since my Paradise P90’s were awarded by workman’s comp…
It was the setup. But it took a year and a half for me to skip from the audi (he politely fired me!) and find someone new. It’s been two steps forward and one back since. I just had a tune-up and I think that they’re the best they’ve been.
I get incredible help here. But I think in this hearing aid business I have to find the right skilled person to setup my hearing aids. There’s some fatal flaws if I don’t have the right person.

I’m very much a person who likes to own very little. :rofl:

I will splash out on new Roger’s etc and sometimes new hearing aids over new clothes or a posh expensive holiday! :rofl:

In reply to @Zebras

@Zebras
The app is the same, but for a P30 I would imagine things like the Music programme will be missing from the App, as it isn’t available on the hearing aid. However, “Speech in Loud Noise” was in the App for my Marvel M70, although it isn’t a selectable option in Target, so I could well be wrong.

In reply to @michael1

Sorry to hear you are not doing well with the Naida Lumity UP’s @michael1… But, sometimes it’s a proverbial lottery, what suits me, might be totally alien to your ears… Such is our individual personal preferences, not to mention our unique hearing losses… But, you can easily return, and go elsewhere for another option. I do feel however, perhaps another Boots A.uD, might have gotten you a better fit? Good Luck with the Paradise :wink: Cheers Kev

The gain tables could be created but for SILN the mic goes to stereo zoom which is missing onP30 and 50.
Also dynamic noise cancellation is only on L90 and 70.
Can’t remember all the app but I did have music as a manual program and TV was in the app but not Target.

In reply to @PeterH

Target will not match a P70 and P90 together. It has to be the same technology lvl for both ads P70-UP left and P70-UP right. My audiologist said the P50-UP would be perfect for me but l wanted the P70-UP for more fitting options so l brought the P70-UP. This year, l will buy a pair of L90-UP aids.

@PeterH

Managed to program my new Phonak P70 to pair to my NHS P70 so I have two rights that are linked to my one left.

Hope that makes sense.

Means I’ll have bilateral audio if my right side breaks and won’t have to get my laptop out to program them to link.
