After a few days of using my new aids i requested that the volume be adjusted, l was somewhat surprised to be told by the receptionist that any adjustment could only be actioned after wearing them for 8 weeks. I explained that i had to turn down the aids by 4 notches to obtain an acceptable level of speech. Volume is much too high and gave me headaches after just a few minutes. Volume is not my main problem, it is clarity of speech !! My previous aids when switched to restaurant mode considerably reduced background noises so that group speech was possible. My new aids when switched to restaurant mode just increases the volume of everything !!! Needless to say l am not over impressed with the delay in service or indeed the new aids themselves.
