Title: Phonak models
Post by: Willbur on March 31, 2017, 08:39:10 am

Hey All,

So I decided to move forward with the phonak instead of the BAHA for now. The main reasons for not moving forward with the BAHA include: possible infection, would have to get bigger model of BAHA if I start losing my hearing in left ear, I always keep my hair short, no noticeable sound difference with BAHA as I tried the demo. There are 3 versions of the phonak that range from $2500 to $4000. The best of course is the $4000 with 90 decibles for hearing. Does anyone have any input on what model they went with and why?

Edit: Also there is a competitor out there called Sparky. They will be releasing rechargeable version before Phonak. Does anyone have any experience with Sparky?

Thanks,

Willbur
