I'm looking to purchase aids for my 3 year old. Can these be programmed by an audiologist?

No. these are referred to as " hearing amplifiers" they are not the same as hearing aids prescribed by a professional audiologist. They are not designed or meant for use for in children.

For your reference rite aid drug stores carry them. You can go have a look and see if they will work. They are perfect for toddlers.

I forwarded the question to the user of the hearing aids...hopefully a reply is forthcoming.....Patti

As far as I know as long as the hearing aid has a T-coil setting it should work

I didn't know it could do that. It takes a little practice to get it right, too. Not sure if a disability would rule that out, but I'd think so. I'd try http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-make-your-own-audiobooks/ with a text to speech program. Download the book from Project Gutenburg (or whereever) and make your own audiobook

I am sorry that I bought two of these. I spent money that I could have used on a real set of hearing aids which I ended up buying. These did not work, every sound was amplified so I still couldn't understand. It was annoying. It was noise similar to a TV that goes off and you are looking at a snow screen. It's worth it to go to a good audiologist and buy a pair tailored to your needs as you receive many visits for adjustments

I am not sure. I use them in speech and language therapy to teach children about community helpers. I use them with ages 4 to about 12

Only if the hearing aids you have operate on the same fm frequency.I believe phonak operates on 7.5 kHz.

I don't know. I've just gotten my hearing aids and this was recommended by my doctor.

That might be an issue. We bought these for my daughter who wears hearing aids and the audiologist at school set them up for us. I think she has a program on her computer to set them up on the hearing aids but I'm not 100% certain. I'm sorry I can't be more help.

I think they would. You could ask your audiologist if they would be compatible.

I don't think so. As far as I know it is specific for Phonak hearing aids but to be 100% sure better to ask directky Phonak. Enzo B.

I'm not sure if it will work with a hearing aide or not. I can tell you that they are crystal clear. There is always the possibility that you may get some type of feedback with a hearing aide.

I have no idea whether these batteries are the size your hearing aids require. If you don't know what size batteries you use, ask your audiologist.

Hi, I don't use them my husband does and he says they really help him hear. He's hard of hearing and especially on the PBS programs they truly help. Good luck!

Hi Kenneth, No you can adjust the frequencies in them. They come with instructions on how to do that. I have been wearing hearing aids for about 10 years now. I have had Rextons and Starkys in the past, which cost in excess of $4800 each pair. These Siemens are made in China, and are by far the best hearing aids I have ever had. The batteries last 3 to 4 times as long as my other ones. I hear much better with these. The frequency is not only adjustable, they have a button for a louder sound, which I have not had to use, and an up down switch that works well. Good luck. Joe

I own some 3 year old Phonak Naida VSP hearing aides. I purchased the ComPilot with TV box and use it to watch TV. I can now hear the TV for the first time in years. I have not purchased the gadget that can set on a table to pick up voices yet, but that is on my to do list. My audiologist states that any Phonak hearing aid will work with the Phonak Compilot. The set up was easy.
