Seeking Advice: Phonak Sphere Infinio in the Car

I never have an issue hearing people anywhere in the car with my Sphere’s unless there is music playing or if there is really loud road noise. My audiologist did the setup and REM using DSL V5a.

It might be the differences in our hearing losses that factor in: mine falls 10-20 db worse from 1,500hz on where there is lots of speech info. And I suspect I have dead regions there.

I can also see in “client view” that certain speech sounds (‘S’ or ‘SH’) simply don’t reach targets at times. Granted, the Sphere is doing much better than any other hearing before it in this way (with a better feedback manager among other things).

Also, a dedicated, larger mic is inherently going have some advantages over a mic thats simply smaller and further away (the hearing aids). I’m thinking on California interstate freeways where background din is quite loud.
