I've been diagnosed with high frequency hearing loss and now have a set of hearing aids, Oticon Jet PX1 miniRITE R is what they are. From what I understand these are entry level.
While I hear conversations and the TV better I don't like the sound of the guitar (electric if that matters) when wearing them, sounds better without. I'm going to make an appointment with the audiologist to see if she can make up a separate program for the guitar. I suppose I could also use the EQ on the amp to boost the higher frequencies and play without the hearing aids.
I would be interested to hear what others have experienced regarding this and how they dealt with it.
Thanks,
Ken
I have a hearing aid for my left ear. When I first got it I didn't like the way my acoustic sounded. I couldn't get the guitar in relative tune without using a tuner and even then it sounded messed up. My audiologist thought it might be from the slight noise cancelling the hearing aid provided so he created a setting without noise cancelling and that did the trick. He's never heard (heh) of someone having this problem before. Anyway, that did the trick for me.
