Phonak Bolero Q90 M13 Hearing Aids
After 2 days with the new Phonak Bolero Q90 M13 set they are Amazing. While I had a set of America Hears for several years but my hearing got beyond where they helped as much as when I got them yea...

I found while I could "function" at least in my mind that aids were more trouble then they were worth. However I expect if I could have started with computerized models like this new set of Phonak Bolera Q series I would have been a full time wearer many years ago.
It was the crunching gravel in the drive or crunching of paper that would drive me up the wall. I can hear both sounds with these new ones from Phonak but it is not a painful sound like with other aids. What is different this time in my case is the semi ridged ear molds. They are needed at my loss level but now in the third day I am starting to get the hang of making sure they are fully inserted and correctly.
If I think about it on this old keyboard I can hear myself type but it is not a mental problem. Now the kids will not have to tell me to turn off the turn signals like before. :)
If you can find a fitter of this Bolera Q line I suggest you try them. If like me you are missing more of life than you realize. I had about dropped out of group settings because I was not able to keep up with what was going on but I would keep trying to talk like I did. Got some funny looks for sure. :)
