Re: Playing with Hearing Aids

I have never been able to use a hearing aid when playing the clarinet despite trying various program settings.
The aid seems to work fine when playing bassoon and even dabbling on the flute, but the clarinet seems to introduce significant distortion at any level above pp.

Listening as an audience member to clarinet music played live or on CD Radio etc seems to work OK, preferably using the available music program.

I can only surmise that it is something about the harmonic structure of the clarinet tone and/or transients when reaching some threshold dynamic level that disturbs the microphone or front end electronics of the hearing aids.

I do know that others have had similar experiences.
