Re: speeds/Lynn

[Guest guest]

This is how it was for me as well years ago when I was trying out different

speeds. At first I really liked the higher speeds because I found that it

really brought the voice out from the background din. But then the higher

speeds

became too piercing and high pitched for me so I started checking out the

lower speeds. I settled into 720 Hz very nicely and have stayed there ever

since.

It's not that a higher speed gives us more information, it is simply a

perceived preference on the part of the user.

Is it true that the higher speeds give you more information? I listened for

a minute or two with each speed map while in my audiologist's office. I

could hear and understand speech with all of them. My initial impression of

the 900 speed was it sounded lower pitched and a little more natural. The

highest speed seemed high pitched.
