[NFB-DB] New Siemens hearing aids but is hearing like this normal for this brand?

[Scott Davert]

Hello.
It sDs to me like the newly purchased hearing aid is either not as capable as the loaner hearing aid, or that the newly lought one simply needs to be adjusted through programming. I would simply what you just told us all. Your audiologist should be able to understand what to do if he/she knows what they're doing.

Good luck,
Scott

The thing is with the loaner one, everything sounds just great! but on the left one, which is the one my family bought yesterday, the high-frequencies sounds like weird! For instance we have pet canary, and I can't hear out that aid when it sings; my ear isn't the problem because with the old hearing aids, I could hear the bird perfectly well! Also when one swipes shoes or sandals on the floor (here in Mexico most of the houses don't have carpet in them) out of the right hearing aid (the loaner one) sounds just fine! but out of the left one I can hardly hear it! Is this fixable, or is this because of the hearing aid model? Also because later on (probably next month or so) I'll have the other hearing aid, should I wait and then go to adjust them both, or go this week and have the adjustments made on the left aid?
