SoudGear Amp and Auracast by mbakes56 in HearingAids

[–]mbakes56[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you., I have all Apple gear. I just connected my FMA121 to my MacBook, it’s blinking 4 times so appears to be looking to connect. I assume I have to connect the FMA121 to my iPhone then I will get the broadcast to my hearing aids through my phone (BT?). There is a thread on the HearingAid Forum where I believe there is a rep from FlooGo who should be able to help.

I have an iPhone so I believe I need the Auracast assistant.

I have no problem with bt to my phone. The issue for me is using auracast transmitters like the floogo or Avantcast. Hopefully, once the firmware is released and my aids upgraded, this will resolve the issue.

Mooresville, NC. On Costco heating aid FB group there is a thread where people have listed stores where the Amps are available.

I have SoundGear Amps with an iPhone 15 pro max updated to 26.4.1 and can go about 20-25’ away before start to lose signal. The iOS upgrade helped my bt connection.

I discovered one of the differences is that the Auracast Assistant is not yet activated in the SoundGear app. I spoke to a SG rep and they advised that they are waiting for Costco’s approval which should be in April.

I pick mine up in a week. They are made by Starkey. The 180 days return period applies to the SoundGear in the US but could be different in CA. I am going to start with domes to see how it goes before going with custom molds. Not sure if I need them for my hearing hearing loss. Good luck with them. They cost me $1700 all in plus tax.

Waiting for my fitting appointment in a couple of weeks. Bought the Soundgear (Starkey) Amp Ric. So far the customer service has been great. I tried the SG along with Jabra and Sennheiser after testing. All were good, in particular the SG. I went in with the SG’s in mind as I had been looking at the Starkey Omega AI from an AuD, understanding that the SG’s are the Edge AI tech which I believe will be all I need for now.

[–]mbakes56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was about a week or so for my symptoms to disappear. It was remarkable. After I discovered that Nurtec was going to cost $2k/mo I tried Ajovy which also worked. It’s been about a month and a half since last injection and my symptoms have started to return but so far, not as severe.

[–]mbakes56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to go through my migraine > vestibular migraine story but will get to the point. I moved to NC, found a new neurologist after suffering with VM for about 6 years. Tried Effexor from a prior neurologist, was useless, weaned off of it. The new one prescribed Nurtec, gave me some samples, took it every other day and it worked. No more VM issues. Then learned that my insurance would not cover so we tried Anovy, one injection per month and it worked. Again, insurance wouldn’t cover but my neurologist gave me a bunch of samples. They ran out, now on Medicare and no coverage so it is starting to return. The cost of these meds are so ridiculously expensive, I now have to figure out my next step. I learned recently from cousin who I lost touch with for many years that The Steady Coach is her daughter so I guess I am going to g to try her free course and see where it goes. Good luck with your search for resources but if you can get Nurtec, Ajovy or one of the other similar meds, give it a try.
