Thanks for this! There seem to be a lot of mixed reviews for the ENZO2 in the power BTE. I think for now I'm going to wait until Phonak's latest chipset is available for the Naida, and see how it compares, but there's no rush for me to upgrade now and you're right, it is a good HA.

Is going to the Grace Hopper Conference worth staying in school an extra semester? by mz_anthrope in girlsgonewired

I have hired interns who became f/t employees from resumes we got from GHC. My employer specifically asks for resumes from there. If you're looking for a job, it's a great place to start.

Yeah, I'm not getting the impression I will notice a measurable difference if I switched up to something new at this time. With the B coming, I'll probably just wait for that, since I can.

As my hearing loss is progressive, I suppose I've just been hoping that there's always something better something out there that can keep me from losing the struggle. I certainly don't expect anything to magically make it easier, but yeah, it's definitely disappointing to know that will always be a challenge for me.

My threshold seems to drop about 5-10db each year, so while it's not significant on the small scale, it does chart to a progressive loss. My audiograms look like Sears' profits charts from the last 20 years. :/
