Guest guest Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Ahhh yes, quite possible. AS can be too aggressive at times. In the case of running water a good test is to turn off the water and if the sounds comes back to full within a second or two, its AS. Quote of the nanosecond...

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Jim, now with the N5 they can add autosensitivity to another program.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 The audiologist can set it so it doesn’t remove too much sound. Also it isn’t necessary to use AS in all situations...... just when it is needed. Happy Hearing!

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Carol, That may be but I sure would not want to use that when life and limb may depend on hearing something.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I use AS in a very noisy environment like a noisy restaurant or a major league hockey game. I use a combo of AS and Adro for the supermarket or at the beach when the ocean is roaring. With this program, I hear the waves just fine but also hear anyone who is talking to me. It doesn’t cut out all of the noise.... just enough to be comfortable. Happy Hearing!
