Can you explain this? Many deaf who has nerve loss have been helped with BTE, both analog and digital, what make you think it is only for conductive loss?

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 CIC is usually for people who have mild/moderate hearing loss. BTE is the most powerful hearing aid, esp. for severe/profound hearing loss. Digital hearing aids can be programmable according to the hearing chart. Even some semi-digital analog hearing aids have those too. Based on your hearing chart, it would be wise to try on BTE which it is more powerful than CIC. Who knows despite the unconvenience. -gs -- Greg Swager gswager@... N24C 03/03/03 severe/profound prelingual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Jerome, Have you given any more thought to trying super power BTEs? You may be surprised at what you hear! If after using them you discover that they also don't help, then you'll be even *more* certain that a CI has the potential to help you hear better than you ever could before. That being said, I don't blame you for wanting to move the process along. I *know* I'll feel the same way once I go through my evaluation.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Jerome, I forgot about the recruitment you mentioned. I have no idea how an audiologist would deal with that issue in terms of amplification. Perhaps they could utilize compression in your aids? I don't know...
