I have just received your excellent response to my question. Thank you very much! I'm still a bit uncertain, and I tried to ask a follow up question but the system wouldn't let me do it. As I mentioned in my previous question, I've been frustrated with my current aids not being able to deliver enough volume without feedback. I'm wondering whether the Widex mind m4-19 would be a better choice than the mind m4-9, due to more available power? Thanks again, Tess
Answer Hi Tess,
I would definitely recommend the 4-19 for the added flexibility of greater amplification if there should ever be a change in your hearing. We can always "take away" gain, but we cannot always add it.
Hope this helps.
