Hello, I’m fairly new to hearing aids, and got the Costco Jabra Enhanced 20’s. I’m thinking about trying some self adjusting. I find that hearing aids just sound un-natural, and I get a lot of autophony. The audiologist at Costco basically said that I’d get used to the autophony. I also have some other aspects that I’d like to improve, i.e. better speech clarity in the noise reduction program. It does a great job of quieting background noise, but then the speech is more difficult to hear. As an example, when I am driving, the road noise is really amplified. If I put it on noise reduction program, it brings down the road noise, but the voice/radio gets, soft, sort of mushy. Last time I went in for an adjustment, she just added a program and sent me on my way. I almost never use the speech clarity settings because it just makes everything too harsh and tin-ey. I’m wondering if having the program capability would allow me to tweak the setting until I get it the way I want it. Otherwise, I think I’ll be going back and forth to Costo every week to have her keep adjusting it until it’s right. My concerns would be wasting my time, finding that I can’t really make anything better, this is just what happens when you have hearing aids and I need to get used to it. Also, a little concerned about getting drawn down a deep rabbit hole/time sink and adding more to my “to do” list. Would appreciate any insight from those of you who have some experience doing self adjustments. Thanks.
