Re: Hearing aids and performance

My experience has been similar to Tony's. I turn the hearing aids off when playing. The main problems with this are twofold. 1. When playing in orchestra and band, I have difficulty hearing the conductor and, unfortunately, have to rely on younger ears to interpret the conductor's instructions. 2. When teaching students in my small studio I get strange phasing returns from the walls but when I turn the hearing aids off I can barely interpret the voices of young girl students. I have a setting that does not do the compression into voice frequencies that is good for listening to music. Lately I have been attempting to use the "music setting" to play in the orchestra with some success.
