The Supero I've had for 6 years now, the Claro (before I got Supero) 4 years purple analog Pico 8 years, beige analog (before I got the purple ones) 7 years. When do you guys buy new hearing aids to replace old ones? 6 years? 10? what? Just curious. Maybe I just need to trial a Sumo and see if there's any difference, will have to see if something can be worked out. Just something I like to think about every once in a while. Not sure if I will actually get a new hearing aid anytime soon or not. and I didn't like the way it sounded (but perhaps I needed to have the audie do some adjustments? I have no idea). How about DAI? I tried DAI with the Phonak "shoe" on the hearing aid and directly connecting to iPod, etc. How does Oticon's FM products compare to Phonak's FM? I've quit using the old Phonak T-Mic FM transmitter since it broke/quit working frequently and have resorted to using the Hatis Epic silhouette earhook for listen to music. It still works fine, but nowadays it seems I have to take the hearing aid back to audie for more repairs than ever (telecoil setting went busted a couple weeks back and just now has been sent back to audiologist's office after being sent to Phonak for repair) battery cover broke and had to be replaced for the first time ever last month, etc. I've had the Supero since May 2004 (so 6 years). ![]() I might even try talking to the local audie about the difference (it seems Medicaid does cover new hearing aids, earmolds AND hearing aid repairs). Just wondering if there's much of a difference between Supero and Sumo. ![]() I currently am wearing Phonak's Supero 413AZ, and have been looking at the specs of Oticon's Sumo. Now I'm just wondering how the Oticon products compare to Phonak. I've worn Phonak HAs since I became deaf at age 2, and have always been happy enough with their products (until I tried out the Naida for 3 months a couple years back, which I didn't much care for).
