I have programmable hearing aids and was wondering if anyone on the site has had their hearing aids programed so they can hear a gobble better. I know Terra sales hearing aids that people say works well, but I thought it would be nice to have my daily hearing aids programed. Thank you.

Mine has a program for my elk hunting. Definitely can hear a distant bugle but still struggle with what direction the bugle came from. Have decided I have the best that technology has to offer at this point. Hearing loss sucks, PROTECT YOUR HEARING FOLKS

My dad wears them and evidently he don’t have the programmable ones or don’t use the technology, however when his head perks up from hearing a gobble you better get ready to draw your bow..

I am still adapting . The guy who sold me mine says that there is a lot we can do to make my hearing experience better. I have several programs to go through. I am thinking of an outdoors setting that will give me a little more power than normal. I like the bluetooth settings. In a plane trip last week I was able to set the volume way down and relax. Tell your kids to wear hearing protection when mowing the lawn.

Yes. Mine have a "hunting setting" that amps up the higher range frequencies where my loss is most profound. The only downside is that when the wind blows, its pretty loud, but I can hear elk bugles, gobbles, putts and purrs, etc like never before. I had that same setting programmed into my previous pair and it really helped, but these new Oticon's are next-level as far as clarity. They were spendy, but worth every penny.

I have the same setting on mine, Lou. The audiologist made me promise to never, ever shoot a gun with it in that mode. lol

“The audiologist made me promise to never, ever shoot a gun with it in that mode.”
Don’t your aids have the limiter to cut out when things get loud? That should be pretty standard. I know a few things from having bought 3 or 4 pair for my son before we got him the bionic implant….
I’m several years overdue for a set…
