X has a great desire to bat my Rexton Reach hearing aids around. I think he resents that I can now hear his out of sight escapades.
While it’s only been a few days the aids are becoming a welcome part of my routine, they pair easily with my phone.
They fit the ear well and I am told have a robust design so that perilously thin wire that connects the ear bud to the aid body could tow a trailer.
Still experimenting with balance and sound levels though the default set up is pretty good.
Sound level, directional hearing and balance are easily controlled through the Rexton app.
My risk of being run over by a truck is lower as I now can hear them coming again.
The only drawback so far is that no equivalent of a windsock exists so in a stiff breeze you get that irritating crackling wind whoosh. 1st world problem I know.
I barely notice them otherwise as they sit well on the ear without need for adjustment once placed.
I am still hoping to reduce the “tinniness” of my own voice, some of that comes with time, some just from finding that volume/balance sweet-spot and ear bud placement.
At any rate it is not that big a deal as it’s minor and only a sometimes thing.
As it stands I am manually adjusting volume settings etc. from the default each morning when I put the aids in.
However once I find something I like the “Rexton Assist Robot” can make it an automatic setting always with a discard option.
Oh and Mask Mode is a ray gun setting that allows you to fry anyone wearing a mask.
Kidding.
It just helps un-mumble mask wearers.
So far so good. I am happy with the aids so far.
