Well, that’s been an expensive afternoon. £3795 for a pair of (admittedly top of the range) hearing aids. My credit card hates me right now. - ThreadSky

What?

bitlevel.at•12 days ago

Yep. The price of hearing. 😒

Look after your hearing kids.

That's a lot of money. I can't even talk my father into cheaper ones and he pretty much has to read my lips. 😕

What'd you get exactly?

Starkey Edge AI 24’s. Was going to get the replaceable battery version, but you lose the T-Coil and still pay the same price as the rechargeable ones.

Looks pretty alright! Hope they suit you.

The "Neuro Sound" surrounding noise muting demo sample (on the page below) is interesting. That could be rather useful.

Yeah - I struggle with hearing speech in loud environs, so being able to 'zoom' in on speech while quietning surrounding noise will be a game changer for me.

Bluetooth LE will reduce battery use, and my phone will thank me - and Auracast is going to be awesome once it gets off hte ground.

Perfect then. :)

I have the same aids, and getting used to them. Hope you enjoy them! Fine tuning is important.
I have had some experience of Auracast including visiting a theatre and having a tour of St Paul's Cathedral. Blogging about it at https://aurahear.co.uk.
Best Aura gadget I've come across is the FlooGoo FMA120

Thanks for the mini-review! 😀

I had to get my current Starkey's fine-tuned, so well aware that it may take 2 or 3 visits to the HCA before it's solid.

Will take a look at the Aurahear site - thanks for the link.

I'm aware of the FlooGoo FMA120 - already have one saved in my Amazon wishlist. 👍

Stand and deliver (or be deaf).
