The Phonak site has a great set up that will allow you to click on a sound to hear the way people with normal hearing would hear it. Then you can click on the same sound to hear it the way someone with a mild loss or a moderate loss hears it.
My loss is moderate to severe and you can actually hear more on the link under "moderate loss" than what I can hear without my hearing aids. With my aids, it sounds like "mild loss" most of the time, but in noisy situations, it still sounds like a moderate loss.
Try it...you don't have to download anything, just turn on your speakers.
In my next post, I will explain audiograms, show you my own, and where certain speech sounds fall on the chart.
I just found your blog! What wonderful writing you have. I just went to this website and learned alot. I know several people who are hard of hearing and this was a real eye opener!
