Still first time trial.
Talking with my wife about the sound of my voice.
Without the she says it’s deep, gravely, normal level, can totally understand what I say.
Wearing the HA, the pitch/tone changes to higher, a lot softer, has to work at times to hear/understand it.
Common?
Rexton Bicore
Open dome right, tulip (?) left.

The hearing aids should correct the sound the person wearing aids hears. So it’s very possible for someone to speak softer or with more clarity once fitted with hearing aids or .

My family and friends have told me my speech clarity has dramatically improved since getting CI’s.
