Hearing Health and Hearing Aids

My appointment went well. The problems that I've noted are limitations of the aids. For two weeks I've been hearing at 90% of the potential of the aids. I'm now at 100%. I was given the choice and I opted for full volume. I can turn them down but not up beyond the limit that's set. Needing to boot the app for the aids to connect to my phone was addressed and my audi reset the BT settings. I haven't tested the fix but it's no bother to boot the app if need be. Speaking of audiologist, today is the last day for my audiologist to work at Costco. She plans to return to the profession but is taking an extended leave to take care of her ailing elderly mother. I'll miss her and so will Costco. I don't know how long she has worked there but she has taken care of me for the last six years.
I snorted!I was able to understand what she said. I've never been able to understand what she meant.
My buddy got his new hearing aids last Monday. I text him asking how he likes them. He said I'm hearing way too much. I understand that. I feel the same with mine. I hear things I've never heard before. I have a battery powered wall clock that I've had on my office wall for years that I now hear ticking. I'm learning to boot the aids app on my phone after turning on the phone in the mornings. The aids work flawlessly without the app for hearing but to stream audio and notifications and phone calls, the app needs to be booted. My audi said that isn't the way they work but it's the way they work with my S21. Not a big deal. I'm also learning not to vocalize my feelings about the sports I'm watching. I get too loud and it cuts the ambient volume and then slowly brings it back up. I mowed the leaves in my yard while wearing the aids. They did a fair job of suppressing the harmful volume of the engine. My Bose buds do a better job. No complaint. I don't intend on wearing aids to mow. It was only a test.
To sum up this mini review, I'm very pleased with my Sennheiser Sonite R aids that are made for Costco by Phonak. They are working really well for me all day on a charge without a problem. They are hearing aids and not a hearing fix like every other brand of aid. My buddy and my son's MIL all just bought aids from Costco and we all went with different brands. All three of us are very happy with our purchases. I think Costco upped their game.
