Costco is now carrying the Phonak aids under the Kirkland Signature name. The latest one is the 9.0T Premium. This has full Bluetooth using both android and apple phones. The app lets you add programs, with control over three frequency bands, noise suppression, and amplification. Also control compression, and directionality of the microphones at different parts of the behind the ear electronics module.
As i write this I am currently streaming directly to the hearing aids from Tidal. In this mode the frequency balance is not great, and I do not see a way to modify it. Normally I would not stream directly to the hearing aid, but use a "music" setting and listen to my system through my GoldenEar speakers.
The hearing aids are very effective when making a phone call - the sound comes from the streaming direct to the hearing aids and is very clear - the phone mic picks up your voice. Of course, you can also stream the audio from a football game and no one else will notice...
It certainly helps my enjoyment of music!
Only $1499.99 at Costco, and Medicare will reimburse for most of the expense as far as I understand.
If only it would cure the tinnitus...
