I went in today for a followup tuning of my new hearing aids. My main issues that I needed addressed: 1) There was heavy distortion on the main programs in loud environments, making speech very difficult to interpret 2) Certain types of loud sounds were overwhelming me in my normal programs 3) We forgot to add the programs for Bluetooth phone and Direct audio connections during the first fitting We took out most of the compression in the main program, removing all traces of distortion, but that still left the overwhelming sounds. We walked through various frequencies over the speakers and found that I had a huge peak at about 1000Hz, right in the middle of the speech range, so we knocked the gain down at that frequency and everything was PERFECT. My main program is really great now.

My deaf friend that I go out with a lot only points to his ear and makes the writing gesture without any eye contact with the hearing person. My friend has excellent and very understandable speech and lipreading skills, just like me, but never uses it. He never says the word "deaf," which I think he should. I've often wondered if he comes from the older generation where there is still a sense of shame about being deaf. He does not make eye contact with hearing people at all. It's very weird. I think his behavior confuses people so they don't understand clearly what the problem is and how to fix it.
I think it's very important to first communicate to a hearing person, especially a stranger, that you are deaf, and how you want to communicate with them.
