If you are struggling to hear in busy environments due to the background noise present in the room, we have a couple of recommendations that we can share with you. I hope they will be helpful!
Some models of hearing aids will allow the presence of the SpeechBooster function Sound section of the app.
If you can not see the the button, it is either possible that your hearing aids are not compatible with this feature or, in case you have Real, More, Zircon, Own, Xceed, Ruby, or Opn S hearing aids your fitting might not allow the enabling of the feature in the app.
If you can't use this feature, or if turning it on does not help you at all, you can reach out to your audiologist for an additional fitting session to either:
- fine-tune the fitting of your hearing aids to reduce background noise in the program you already have
- create additional programs to cope with the specific environments in which you experience higher levels of background noise
We can also recommend some tips to experience better conversations while in busy environments.
It is always worth preferring corner tables in restaurants/rooms and keeping the back to the wall to avoid sounds coming directly from that direction and disturbing the conversation.
