Re: [Harp-L] hearing aids

[Mike Rogers <bullfrog9@xxxxxxx>]

I got my hearing aids last August.  they're state of the art Unicon 
Deltas.  They have feedback suppressors and the volume and tone is set 
at the audiologist's.  In general, I don't wear them on stage, as it's 
too loud.  Playing acoustically, my guitar sounds a little trebly.  My 
harp sounds fine, but occasionally, I'll hit the nin blow bend and it 
sets off some feed.  I tend to play softer with them in.  I need them, 
as I've lost the high end of my hearing and have trouble when in noisy 
crowds.

I just got fitted for a(sorely needed) pair today and while my guitar sounds great, if a little tinny, my harps sound as if each single note is doubling. I go back Tuesday for some final tweaking and i will certainly mention this phenomenon to the audiologist, but i thought i'd run it by the group first. By the way, these things are supposed to be state of the art. Probably just not state of the harp. Thanks,
