Re: Hearing Aids for Musicians

Phonak has 3 levels of hearing aids. The middle level hearing aids I got last year were significantly better than the middle level from 4 years before. On the first set I had a "music setting" that would not give distortion. The newer set did not need the frequency augmentation changed and are set for different amplifications. (Can turn them down if or off when in front of the trumpets and still hear the director with my high frequency hearing loss.) You may need to go back to have the settings adjusted. Take your clarinet with you to get them adjusted properly when you are playing. Settings that work with clarinet worked less well with French horn but multiple settings available. The number depending upon the model. For mild to moderate loss the high end may not work better. You may be able to try different models. Take your instrument with you when being fitted after testing.
