@TheSynthFreq: sounds like the Naida is even better than my system. I think mine were retrofitted as I had Savia Arts and had the Icom stuff added to it (I *think* that’s how it was done). I’ve had trouble with TV, though I have a device that broadcasts bluetooth. I think it’s more of a TV problem, but I can’t really be sure. Works great with phone, music, computer, etc.

Great video.
I recently got my Phonak Naida hearing aids and the Icom. They are AMAZING! The Icom works very well with the phone and tv and music. I like how the icom can pause/resume streaming audio too.
The Icom and Phonak Naida ultrapower hearing are the best IMO.

I’m venturing into Audiology and this review is inspiring. Great job man, glad it could work out for you.

It has to be worn around your neck (between the aids) to broadcast properly. Also, it has the microphone that you talk into.

I am currently trying out a set of Phonak Audeo III hearing aids. This is my first behind the ear (BTE) aids and I’m finding them difficult to use with telephones. If I end up going with these aids I will definately need something like the Icom. Thanks for taking the time to post your thoughts.

i got 2 new phonak exelia petite about 6 months ago and i highly recommend them , thet are life changing and the only down side is the price ,they cost me 7000 euros for both, but you cant put a price on life so go for it.

The one we had stuck at a fair low level and I couldn’t hear it unless the TV speakers were on mute. There must be an out on my TV that will increase independent of the volume on the TV.
Having said that, I so rarely watch TV and am so used to closed captioning, that I haven’t taken the time to do it. For me the iCom is far more valuable as a set of headphones for computer/iPod and a device to use for talking on my mobile phone (I don’t have a home phone).

For the TV, I’ve tried the Voiss system. I connected it to the back of my TV via two RCA cables. It goes to a small bluetooth device.
The setup was pretty easy — one drawback is there is not screen to tell what is going on, but they pair quickly.
I had trouble with volume level. We have a 2 year old TV with so many settings I need to get back there and figure which audio out is best.

After using my iCom for a longer period of time, I’ll say this: you will eat through hearing aid batteries. Sometimes I’ll go through 2 in three days (each aid). That can be frustrating, not to mention expensive. Just FYI. Without the iCom system each battery lasts 7-10 days.
The iCom has an internal battery you charge at night.
My phone battery doesn’t seem to be bothered by having the Bluetooth active.

I’ve used hearing aids for about 9 years and just came home today after a bad audiology visit. I lost 10db in my left ear making 95bd loss and 15 db making it 90 db loss in my left ear. They are talking about ordering me new Phonak hearing aids and a iCom FM since I still have my old FM from Comtek. Both companies are great but def. need some new hearing aids. Your video was the first one I watched on the iCom. Can’t wait to get mine. I am a composer so I hope it works well in the studio.
Thanks

The assistive devices are where things are headed with hearing aids. The next generation will not requre cables etc.

Good info! Cool that you have taken the time to share what you have learned.

I have a pair of Seimen aids, too. I use them when I go out and get sweaty, as they seem to be a little less sensitive to moisture. I don’t actually know that for a fact, but I’m more willing to have them go back to the shop for repairs if needed, because the Phonak’s are better quality and I want to use them when I’m working or talking to people.

Have you only ever worn Phonak hearing aids, and if not, who else has made them?
